Earth is taking in more energy than it releases back to space—a growing “energy imbalance” that is fueling global warming.
How Climate Policies that Incentivize and Penalize Can Drive the Clean Energy Transition
A new study from a team of researchers that includes faculty from the University of California San Diego and Princeton University shows how a mix of subsidies for clean energy and taxes on pollution can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change.
Fine Particles in Pollution are Associated with Early Signs of Autoimmune Disease
A new study has linked air pollution exposure and immune-system changes that often precede the onset of autoimmune diseases.
Microencapsulated B-Vitamins Help Dairy Cows Produce More Milk with Fewer Emissions
A new international study led by McGill University in collaboration with Jefo Nutrition shows that supplementing dairy cow diets with microencapsulated B-vitamins can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions while increasing milk yield and quality.
Remote Southern Ocean Seabirds Study Highlights Reach of ‘Forever Chemicals’
Seabirds in one of the remotest parts of the planet are being exposed to a wide range of forever chemicals, scientists have discovered.
A Delicate Antarctic Balance Crucial to Global Climate
New findings about ocean processes in the Antarctic show melting ice shelves and changes to sea ice could have catastrophic implications for the global climate.
Residents in Hot, Humid Regions More Likely to Have Kidney Failure
Australians living in consistently hot and humid northern regions are at greater risk of kidney failure than their compatriots in more temperate and less remote locations, researchers have found.
Researchers Find Trees Could Spruce Up Future Water Conservation Efforts
Trees contain valuable information about Earth’s past, so much so that studying their rings may help fill in hidden gaps in Ohio’s environmental history.
Fiddler Crabs Found to Hoover Up and Break Down Microplastic Particles
New research has found that Fiddler crabs are playing an unheralded role when it comes to hoovering up microplastics found in the world’s mangrove forests and salt marshes.
Temporary Carbon Removals Can Compensate Warming from Methane Emissions
Carbon removal projects could prove vital in offsetting methane emissions – the second largest contributor to global warming.
