COP26 News: Study Says Climate Change Will Triple Impacts to World’s “Life Zones” Unless Emission Rates Are Dramatically Reduced
A new study from WCS and multiple partners that modeled changes in the world’s 45 different “life zones” from climate change revealed that climate impacts may soon triple over these areas if the earth continues “business-as-usual” emissions.
The Silent Build-up to a Super-Eruption
It is estimated that about 5-10 volcanoes worldwide are capable of producing a super-eruption that could catastrophically affect global climate.
