World May Exhaust 1.5 Degree Celsius Carbon Budget In 3 Years: Scientists
If the world continues to release carbon dioxide at the current rate, the carbon budget for limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius will be exhausted in just over three years, according to an international group of scientists.

Rise In Greenhouse Gas Release Causing More Extreme Weather, Scientists Warn
Humans are on track to release so much greenhouse gas in less than three years that a key threshold for limiting global warming will be nearly unavoidable, according to a study to be released Thursday.

Scientists Can Tell When A Volcano Is About To Erupt Using This 'Green' Cue
Scientists can tell when a volcano is about to erupt by looking at the vegetation around and its colour.

'Red Alert': Fire Wipes Out Tropical Rainforest Twice The Size Of Belgium
Loss of tree cover in 2024 -- from deforestation and fires, deliberate or accidental -- generated more than three billion tonnes of CO2 pollution.

Study Finds Grey Seals Can Track Blood Oxygen to Prevent Drowning
A study has revealed that grey seals can monitor their blood oxygen levels to determine when they need to surface for air. Researchers tested seals in controlled environments, exposing them to different oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. The findings confirmed that higher oxygen led to longer dives, while reduced oxygen shortened them. Surprisingly,...

India's Energy Efficiency Above Global Average: RBI
India's energy efficiency improved by 1.9 per cent between 2000 and 2023, which is faster than the global average of 1.4 per cent, according to a study carried out by an RBI research team.

Atmospheric CO2 Levels Reach 8,00,000 Year-High In 2023: Report
The World Meteorological Organization's (WMO) State of the Climate report said the past 10 years (2015-2024) were the warmest on record, with each of the last eight years setting new highs for ocean heat content.

Scientists Create Cleaner Polymers To Absorb CO2 and Improve Energy Tech
Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a new method for synthesising porous organic polymers (POPs) with high purity. By using iodine as an oxidant and removing residual impurities through ethanol washing, the polymers achieve superior porosity and CO2 adsorption efficiency. The study highlights their potential for gas separation, energy s...

New Farm Fertilizer Could Remove CO2 from Air, Improve Soil Quality
Researchers have identified a method to accelerate carbon mineralisation using calcium silicates in farm fertilizers. The process could sequester billions of tons of CO2 while benefiting soil health. Unlike traditional magnesium silicates, calcium silicates react faster with CO2, making the approach more efficient. Scientists are exploring ways to ...

Ocean Warming Rate Quadruples Over Four Decades, Accelerating Climate Change
New research highlights a troubling acceleration in ocean warming, with the rate of temperature rise quadrupling since the 1980s. According to a study in Environmental Research Letters, ocean surface temperatures now rise at 0.27°C per decade, up from 0.06°C. This rapid warming, driven by greenhouse gases like CO2 and methane, is worsening Earth'...

New Dual-Reactor Tech Turns CO2 Into Protein for Food and Sustainability
A team of engineers in China has developed an innovative dual-reactor system that converts carbon dioxide into a high-protein product suitable for human and animal consumption. The two-stage process uses microbial electrosynthesis to turn CO2 into acetate, which is then used by bacteria to produce single-cell protein. This system promises a more su...

Newly Discovered Oxygen Reaction Existed in Primitive Atmosphere, Sheds Light on Origin of Life
Scientists have uncovered a new way oxygen could form in carbon dioxide-rich atmospheres without the involvement of life. The discovery, led by researchers from the University of Science and Technology of China, shows that a reaction between helium ions and CO2 can produce molecular oxygen. This process challenges traditional methods of life detect...

Plankton’s Ability To Sequester Carbon Is Influenced by Ocean Density, Study Shows
A study published in Royal Society Open Science explores how changes in ocean density influence marine plankton, particularly the foraminifera species Trilobatus trilobus, in incorporating carbon into their shells. These organisms play a key role in the carbon cycle by sequestering carbon in the ocean floor after death. The study, led by Dr Stergio...
