Climate change estimates are largely based on the macroclimate — broad-scale fluctuations in temperature, wind and rainfall — at a height of 2 m above a flat surface. Meteorologists observe strict protocols when installi...

An immediate and rapid reduction in global is required for many reasons. Integrated research supports the economic case for strong near-term climate action, even before accounting for expected negative impacts on biodiversity, health and tipping points.

In latest issue of Nature Climate Change, Ivanovich et al. confirmed in their Analysis article that global food consumption can add nearly 1°C to warming by the end of this century, driven by foods that are high sources of methane, such as beef, dairy and rice.

Fast food chains, which have swept the restaurant landscape over the past 50 years around the world as a convenient and affordable option, are one example causing serious concern because of their climate impacts. They use a high number of carbon-intensive ingredients, such as beef, and have high levels of energy use and packaging as well as food waste.

With the development of online-to-offline mobile technology, online food delivery services have gained popularity over the past few years, and lock-downs related to the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated this trend. Similarly to fast food chains, these services could cause larger food-related emissions, because of their intensive use of packaging and transportation.

Another signature of the modern food industry is ultra-processed foods. Refined additives used to enhance sensory qualities have become the foundation of the daily diet and made up 58% of the energy intake in the United State. One study found that ultra-processed foods can contribute up to one-third of the total diet-related greenhouse gas emissions, in particular for adults in developed countries

Although the development of the modern food industry has improved the welfare of people from many regions, it is now time to move onto the next stage to address the future challenges. Green transitions within the food industry are necessary, as well as changes in consumer behavior and habit.

“THE SOLAR WIND IS COMING: Later today, a high-speed stream of solar wind is expected to hit Earth’s magnetic field. Flowing from an equatorial hole in the sun’s atmosphere, wind speeds could top 500 km/s. Full-fledged geomagnetic storms are unlikely, but lesser geomagnetic unrest could spark high latitude auroras,”: NASA. A geomagnetic storm (or solar storm) is a temporary disturbance of the Earth's magnetosphere caused by a solar wind shock wave and/or cloud of magnetic field that interacts with the Earth's magnetic field. Long transmission electric grid, GNSS (satellite communication), high-frequency communication over the higher latitutde regions are subjected to risk.

If global warming continues unchecked, Indian summer monsoon rainfall will become stronger and more erratic. This is the central finding of an analysis by a team of POTSDAM-INSTITUTE FOR CLIMATE IMPACT RESEARCH (P*K) researchers that compared more than 30 state-of-the-art climate models from all around the world. The study predicts more extremely wet years in the future — with potentially grave consequences for more than one billion people’s well-being, economy, food systems, and agriculture.

is a global problem. If it is not managed properly, then many active satellites can be destroyed by this debris. There are currently over 129 million objects larger than a millimeter in orbits around Earth. These range from inactive satellites to flakes of paint. But no matter how small the item of debris, anything traveling up to 56,000 km/h in an orbit is dangerous if it comes into contact with the many satellites that connect us around the world, be it for GPS, mobile phone data, or internet connectivity. The solution is to take action before it’s too late. program by the European Space Agency. Watch the film by . Join the upcoming conference hosting by ESA on 20 April.
