| How climate change is affecting extreme weather events around the world Posted: 28 Jun 2022 05:32 AM PDT For a long time, climate scientists have struggled to link extreme weather events to climate change. This has changed. The science of weather event attribution is now beginning to show the true costs and impacts that human-caused climate change is having today. This fast-growing body of research aims to disentangle the various drivers of extreme weather events from human-induced climate change and the best assessments can provide valuable information in insuring against loss and damage, funding adaptation measures, and litigating against polluters. |
| Natural gas used in homes contains hazardous air pollutants Posted: 28 Jun 2022 05:32 AM PDT Every day, millions of Americans rely on natural gas to power appliances such as kitchen stoves, furnaces, and water heaters, but until now very little data existed on the chemical makeup of the gas once it reaches consumers. |
| Colonizing sea urchins in the Mediterranean can withstand hot, acidic seas Posted: 27 Jun 2022 07:02 AM PDT A species of sea urchin in the Mediterranean will be able to live in our future climate-changed seas -- while other animals will die as waters become hotter and more acidic. Added to this, urchins generally are known to destroy ecosystems as their numbers swell (largely due to rising sea temperatures) and are currently doing so worldwide. |
| Vegetation declining on elephants' migration routes in Namibia Posted: 27 Jun 2022 07:02 AM PDT A study based on extensive remote sensing data indicates that vegetation near the migration routes of elephants in Namibia has decreased. Human habitation and fences as well as artificial obstacles of other kinds affect the movements of wild animals, helping to accelerate the decline in vegetation. |
