Climate’s Ledger
Taxing investments of the wealthy could fund climate action and promote climate justice.
Climate Change
Dormant Disease
In the icy gloom where old gods sleep, microbes lie in wait with jealous, frozen rage – aching to be freed by the warmth of
Greening Strips of Change
Satellite data reveals unexpected vegetation trends along the arid Pacific slope of Peru and Chile, shedding light on climate change impacts on these sensitive ecosystems.
Sprung too Soon
The climate crisis is altering seasonal timings, causing bird breeding and vegetation ‘greening’ to fall out of sync. This phenological mismatch is leading to decreased productivity and potential declines in North American bird populations.
Diminishing Depths
Despite increased water storage from new dams, the percentage of reservoir capacity filled with water is decreasing, underscoring the need for more effective water management strategies.
Empty Echoes of Rain
Flash droughts, quick and severe droughts posing challenges to sectors like agriculture, are predicted to increase with global warming, especially in North America and Europe.
Wings of Change
Climate change drives the world’s birds to evolve at varying speeds, transforming their bodies and wings in a race against time.
Beneath Shifting Canopies
The study of Earth’s climate change and its impact on biodiversity reveals that many trees face potential extinction and decreased diversity, with uncertain consequences for ecosystems and human livelihoods.
Storms of Extinction
Entire populations of Antarctic seabirds are failing to breed due to extreme, climate-change-related snowstorms.
Gardeners of the Forest
If elephants, which are already critically endangered, become extinct, the Central and West African rain forest – the second largest on Earth – would lose 6-9% of its ability to capture atmospheric carbon, exacerbating planetary warming.
