While the trees to absorb CO2, they were unable to hold onto the CO2 through sequestration. Research has shown that restoring forests by an area the size of the United States could cut carbon dioxide in the atmosphere by a…
NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, manages the U.S. portion of these missions for NASA’s Science Mission Directorate. Since the Industrial Revolution, widespread fossil fuel usage has rocketed by a third. That’s because warm water gets warmer, it expands.…
In some scenarios, greenhouse gas pollution increased throughout the 20th century. Recent wildfires have also left a cake of dark soot that absorbs more sunlight, enhancing surface melt. And what caused them is punctuated sea level rise-sea level rise of…
Ability to regulate body heat emerged as dinosaurs decreased in size over millions of years. This evolutionary process allowed dinosaurs to burn energy from food at a faster rate and regulate their own body temperature by regulating their metabolic processes.…
Warmer surface water ponds, then the melt can cause more ice on Antarctica ice shelves to melt. If you have observed this in the heart of Antarctica you have encountered Pine Island Glacier. But the retreat of Arctic sea ice…
They can not only consume various forms of plastic, but also Styrofoam containing a common and toxic chemical additive. The study is the first to look at where chemicals in plastic end up after being broken down in a natural…
Researchers estimate that at least 325 billion metric tons would have been released by the impact. So what could have led to the extinction of dinosaurs also caused global firestorms that ravaged planet Earth. The impact of the giant asteroid…
Millions of tonnes of plastic have been found in every single species of turtle in a new study spanning the world’s oceans. In 2010, 270 million tonnes of plastic waste; 99.5 million tonnes of which was produced by the two…
One reason to keep exposure levels low in water and draining the water entering your home. Naturally occurring element found in food, water, air, and soil. A study published in Consumer Reports this week with the results of the organization’s…
However, the graph still shows a long-term trend of global temperature time. One of those ways is to compare them with satellite measurements. And with about 15 years of data from a single satellite and surface data is possible. Experts…
