New Delhi, India, hit a maximum of 49 degrees celsius in May, and the North and the South poles experience extreme heat during summers with unprecedented rising temperatures. There have been plenty of such examples of heatwaves reaching unprecedented levels disrupting the ecosystem and displacing humans and the other species.

Scientists warn of severe climate impacts if the climate crisis has been taken care of and the usage of fossil fuels isn’t curbed. Read more

Europe is bracing under an intense heatwave, which has hit many countries of the European continent earlier than anticipated. Scientists warn of the unprecedented heat waves due to the climate crisis.

The heatwaves across Europe have been so intense that there have been wildfires, bringing nearly 9000 hectares of forests being burnt alone in Spain. These forest fires have forced hundreds of residents to migrate to safer locations. The spokesperson Clare Nullis of the World Meteorological Department, Geneva, predicts that such heatwaves may become more intense and frequent had there been no climate action. Read more

Swiss scientists have reached a milestone and have created a technology for developing carbon-neutral jet fuel using sunlight and air. The latest process innovated could be a significant breakthrough in reducing the fuel prices for the jets at substantial levels and enabling them to achieve net-zero at a rapid pace.

It is interesting to know that cost of the fuel processed could cost approx. $1.35-$2.20 per litre, which would motivate the airlines and other jet companies to adopt this new fuel to reduce their operational cost drastically.

With benefits come the challenges, and it would be fascinating to know how the technology unfolds and gets accepted in the open market? Read more

According to Oxfam’s latest report, the funds required to meet the climate-related disasters have risen to approx. 80% over the past 20 years.

Such a rise in the funds required is due to an increase in climate-related crises such as extreme heatwaves, wildfires, etc. It is, however, incredibly discouraging to know that the developed countries are meeting only 20% demand for the funds needed. Read more

The sport called “football” is a significant contributor to global climate change, with an estimated global carbon footprint of equivalent to the size of “Tunisia”. However, the estimates are very miserly.

With climate change, roughly 92 of England’s league clubs will be flooded in the next three decades if efforts are not made to curb climate change. The English clubs must upgrade to sustainable practices and infrastructure to continue playing. Read more

Climate Change is leading to droughts and dry-spells across the west for over 2 years now.

The city of California is no different and is under intense heat wave. To add to the vows of the city, snow has been below normal or was only 4% normal. If the pace of the water crisis and the heat-waves continues the city will not be able to survive the summer without major power-cuts. Read more
