Asia is currently warming nearly twice as fast as the global average, fueling more extreme weather and wreaking a heavy toll on the region’s economies, ecosystems and societies, according to a report published by the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) on the ‘State of the Climate in Asia 2024’ published on…

Short, intense summer rainfall in Europe's Alpine regions is likely to become more frequent and severe in the future because of global warming, according to a study released Thursday by the University of Lausanne (UNIL). Researchers said that in a scenario where temperatures rise by two degrees Celsius (about 3.6 degrees…

The study has strong implications for Africa where natural grasslands and savannas are often misguidedly and inappropriately converted to forests, which can actually harm biodiversity and even exacerbate global warming. ...Read More

Odorless and colorless, methane is a gas that is easy to miss — but it’s one of the most important contributors to global warming. It can trap up to 84 times as much heat as carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, though it breaks down much faster. Measured over 100 years,…

Nigerian music star Davido was lovingly celebrated by his wife, Chioma, and daughter, Imade, during this year’s Father’s Day festivities. This year’s Father’s Day celebration was filled with heartfelt moments as Nigerians joined the global tradition of honouring fathers and father figures. Among those at the center of attention was…

Continued greenhouse gas emissions will accelerate global warming and intensity of heat waves, which already harm crop productivity. From the stability of key enzymes to canopy processes, photosynthesis is affected by temperature. All crops suffer ...Read More

Greenland’s ice sheet melted 17 times faster than the past average during a May heatwave that also hit Iceland, the scientific network World Weather Attribution (WWA) said in a report Wednesday. The Arctic region is on the frontline of global warming, heating up four times faster than the rest of…

Scientists have called for a crackdown on polluting construction machinery after research showed the sector was the “dominant” source of dangerous black carbon emissions in an area of central London. A study led by academics at the University of Manchester called for “tightened regulation for non-road mobile machinery (NRMM)” to…

Limiting warming to 1.5°C could prevent twice the glacier loss seen in a +2.7°C scenario. Even if global temperatures were to stabilize at their current level, about 40 percent of the world’s glaciers are still expected to disappear. A new study conducted in collaboration with ETH Zurich reveals that if…
