When we talk about airplanes and their influence on climate and the environment, the first thing that comes to our mind is greenhouse gases and carbon dioxide in particular. It probably has something to do with the campaign of airline […]

Rainfall will be a lot less, while temperatures and sea level will rise to record levels. The $50 billion tourism industry is predicted to be hit the hardest, which will […]

Those that survived had much difficulty in recovering due to the ‘Great Dying’ aftermath – global warming. The ‘Great Dying’ had gained […]

By 2050, they predict that more than 600 species of fish will shrink in terms of maximum body weight by 14% to 24% if global temperatures persist to ascend. Researchers at the University of British Columbia, led by Dr. […]
