Climate Change Has Reached the Top of Mount Everest, Thinning Its Highest Glacier
The highest glacier on the tallest mountain on Earth is rapidly retreating as temperatures rise, according to new research that underscores the scale and reach of human-caused climate change.
Short Circuit for Big Impact
University of Delaware engineers have demonstrated a way to effectively capture 99% of carbon dioxide from air using a novel electrochemical system powered by hydrogen.
Underwater ‘Breathing’ Plants Could Be Key to Stress-Resistant Crops
Wetland plants have a high tolerance against flooding due to the formation of "lysigenous aerenchyma," air channels that help transfer gases to the submerged roots.
Massive Methane Emissions by Oil and Gas Industry Detected From Space
An international study involving CNRS and CEA researchers and the company Kayrros has uncovered hundreds of major methane releases linked to global oil and gas extraction activities.
US Household Air Conditioning Use Could Exceed Electric Capacity in Next Decade Due to Climate Change
Climate change will drive an increase in summer air conditioning use in the United States likely to cause prolonged blackouts during peak summer heat if states do not expand capacity or improve efficiency, according to a new study of household-level demand.
