Researchers found some electricity-producing bacteria at the Yellowstone National Park. A researching team from Washington State University conducted a test at the famous alkaline hot springs of the Yellowstone National Park. At the time of testing, the temperature of the hot spring was actually quite HOT (around 90o C). The latest report suggested that some…
Four different studies reveal that greenhouse gases are raising temperatures of oceans at a much rapid rate than previously believed. Ocean Heating is a critical marker of climate change because most of the excessive solar energy absorbed by the greenhouse gases is accumulated in oceans. In addition to that, ocean temperatures don’t experience year-to-year variations…
An international team of researchers discovers that the Greenland Ice Sheet is doing some serious damage to the environment. Methane is the simplest alkane with four atoms of Hydrogen surrounding a central atom of Carbon. It is one of the important greenhouse gases and plays a significant role in causing ‘Global Warming’. According to an…
Scientists found some unexpected new features during an analysis of the African Smoke-Cloud connection. Smoke is an airborne mixture of solid and liquid particles and gases, which is emitted when the combustion of a material takes place. It also carries the quantity of air that is mixed into the mass. The chemical composition of smoke…
The effects of climate change might appear well before the expected time. Climate change is probably one of the biggest challenges humanity faces in this modern world. A lot of human activities are playing an active role in this devastating change. The term ‘Global Warming’ is used to refer to these human-induced changes. The situation…
Flaring must be controlled globally if we want to ensure a reduction in the oil production emissions. Controlling the ever-increasing pollution is extremely important not only for our health but also for the existence of our species. The combustion of fossil fuels, like gas and oil, is a major source of the greenhouse gases, which…
Scientists have a new theory about the air-conditioning system of the Earth. Climate change (Global Warming) is one of the biggest worries of humanity these days as it is literally endangering the future of our species. Ironically, humans themselves have contributed the most in bringing these changes in climate. Experts from all parts of the…
Paleontologists have discovered oldest human fossils of Homo Antecessor that could be a million years old. Fossils carry immense significance as they reveal the secrets of the past. The study of fossils is known as Paleontology. It involves information about the age and the method of formation of the fossil. Some common examples of fossils…
Solar Energy has a bright future following the discovery of Perovskite-made cells. The world is trying to shift to renewable forms of energy following the pollution caused by the combustion of fossil fuels. Solar energy is probably the most feasible solution for the ever-increasing energy requirements of the world. The solar cell is an electrical…
170 countries signed a deal to reduce the emission of greenhouse gases from the shipping industry. Climate Change is arguably the most important issue humanity face today as it has the potential to destroy the planet and wipe away all signs of life. A lot of international forums acknowledge that and various policies are being…
Climate change is a global issue that is frightening people in all parts of the world. The concepts like ‘Greenhouse Effects’ and ‘Global Warming’ have been discussed on all the world-level forums and efforts are being made to counter them. As the root cause of these changes is pollution, most of the emphasis comes down…
