“We want climate action, we want tree-planting, but we urgently need a shift away from the focus on timber production towards native natural woodlands of broadleaf trees

“We have these really large methane reserves that are behind these dams,” Dorothy said. “As we do things like dredging or any kind of disturbance, as water fluctuations change, those methane bubbles come up to the surface and are emitted into the atmosphere”
The upper Mississippi itself has more than two dozen locks and dams, which wind up slowing down the river’s flow and the organic material in it. Methane is released when that organic matter accumulates and decomposes
Food that may be affected includes cauliflowers, broccoli and strawberries. It also includes nearly two-thirds of the cucumbers and tomatoes imported to the UK, and nearly a fifth of the overall supply of onions
Meanwhile, more than half of the UK’s lemons and sweet peppers come from the Mediterranean, along with two-thirds of all oranges and 40 per cent of table grapes

It’s probably not the silver bullet that will help us get rid of plastic, but this new method could get rid of at least some of the world’s plastic pollution. A team of US and Chinese researchers created a way to upcycle plastic into high-value chemicals, known as surfactants, which are used to create cleaning products such as soap and detergent

"The unprecedented amount of smoke and greenhouse gases released by the fires led to such immense stratospheric pollution that it damaged the ozone layer, caused a drop in sea temperatures and produced algal blooms in the Southern Ocean that were larger in size than Australia
"If not, we will be locked in a vicious cycle of climate change leading to larger fires and then those larger fires amplifying the effects of climate change."

Urban Indians, irrespective of political leanings and socio-economic backgrounds, are concerned about climate change, with its potential impact on the next generation topping their list of concerns
On a question around how climate change has impacted daily lives, roughly two-fifths of the respondents said the impact has been substantial. Moreover, a higher share of respondents who saw India’s population growth as a problem also characterized the impact to be substantial

The conclusion they reached was that “pollution from rockets should not be underestimated as frequent future rocket launches could have a significant cumulative effect on climate,” and may also become “hazardous to human health.”

The plastics industry alone produces an estimated 1.8 billion metric tonnes of CO2 emissions yearly, equivalent to the carbon footprint of approximately 400 coal-fired power plants
These microplastics act as secondary emitters of greenhouse gases (GHGs), which are often overlooked and have a significant impact on the environment

But when sensors gather information from the wires - about wind, temperature, and wire sag - that data allows utilities to go beyond their conservative standards and safely put more electricity through the wires. Wind on the line, for example, is vital information. "That nice cool breeze," he says, "it's going to cool down the power line, allowing the utility to put more power through it safely."
