World's Biggest Polluter? It's The US Military, Says Shocking Study
The study reveals that the US military is the single largest institutional emitter of greenhouse gases in the world. Researchers suggest that reducing military spending could significantly lower energy use and help combat climate change.

Centre Proposes Legally Binding Emission Targets For 460 Industries Under New Carbon Market Rules
The Ministry of Environment has proposed legally binding greenhouse gas (GHG) emission targets for over 460 industrial units as part of India's first compliance-based carbon market

Cities Are Heating Up The Planet, How They Can Tackle Climate Change
Cities have a central role to play tackling climate change. They contribute 67-72% of the greenhouse gas emissions which are heating up the planet.

Rock On: How Crushed Stone Could Help Fight Climate Change
From sugar plantations in Brazil to tea estates in India, crushed rock is being sprinkled across large stretches of farmland globally in a novel bid to combat climate change. The technique is called Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW).

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.

Warning Signs On Climate Flashing Bright Red: Top Scientists
From carbon pollution to sea-level rise to global heating, the pace and level of key climate change indicators are all in unchartered territory, more than 60 top scientists warned Thursday.

NASA Reports 'Higher Than Expected' Sea Level Rise In 2024
NASA reports a higher-than-expected sea level rise in 2024, primarily due to thermal expansion of seawater, highlighting the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate the devastating impacts of climate change.

Citing Melting Glaciers, Peruvian Farmer Sues German Firm, Tests Global Climate Law
The glaciers in the Andes of northern Peru are at the centre of a landmark global case that will test the legal culpability of corporations over their greenhouse gas emissions and the role these play in climate change.

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...

Global Sea Ice Cover At Record Low In February Amid Persistent Hot Streak
In February, temperatures spiked up to 11 degrees Celsius above average near the North Pole as the world continued its persistent heat streak, said Europe's climate monitor.

Scientists Warn of Alarming Rise in Marine Heat Waves and Its Impact on Oceans
Reports indicate a sharp rise in marine heat waves, with 2023–2024 experiencing a 240% increase compared to past years. Scientists warn of devastating effects on marine life, including mass die-offs, coral reef degradation, and increased storm intensity. Coastal communities are at risk as extreme weather events linked to warming oceans become mor...

Earth's Orbit and Tilt Linked to Ice Age Cycles, Next One Delayed by Climate Change
Scientists have discovered a strong link between Earth's tilt and past ice ages, predicting the next glacial period would have started in 11,000 years. However, rising greenhouse gas emissions are disrupting these natural cycles. The research, based on ocean sediment data, supports the theory that Earth's obliquity governs ice expansion while prece...

Concerns Rise Over Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation Stability and Climate Impact
A new study suggests the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has remained stable over the past six decades, but experts remain divided. While some scientists argue the system has not weakened, others believe potential future disruptions to AMOC are inevitable, with major climate implications, including extreme weather events and cold...
