Hotter temperature due to climate change and biological factors have been pushing several animals and plants toward the poles in search of a suitable condition where they can survive, grow and reproduce. In North America, this movement is northward. However, there are some species which can not thrive in the north. One such species isRead More

Algae — A Solution to Our Climate Woes!
Algae — could these green and slimy organisms offer a solution to the impending climate crisis? As per researchers, they might indeed! With a little help of Artificial Intelligence (AI), the algae in a well-optimised environment of a bioreactor can remove carbon dioxide gas from the atmosphere and may even be harvested to produce biofuels,Read More
Fungi — The Climate Warriors
For a layman, the term ‘Fungi’ could create visuals of the common yeasts, moulds or the more familiar mushrooms. It is almost unfathomable how these tiny organisms have been doing us a great favour when it comes to fighting against climate change and protecting our planet. It is in common knowledge that forests help inRead More
We Need to Let Go Of Coal!
For centuries, we have been led to believe that without coal, our life would come to standstill! The coal plants have been generating electricity to power our homes, businesses and schools. The coal giants do not want us to know that in the absence of coal our life can still go on and they haveRead More
Sustainable Aviation — Transform the Way We Fly and Tackle Climate Change
The last decade has seen a proliferation of aviation sector — mostly driven by affordable international trips and growing middle class, globally. That might be good news for tourists and tourism sectors for many nations. However, the dark side to this growth has been its contribution to spiralling environmental issues. The aviation industry has beenRead More
Climate Change Will Worsen the Impacts of El Niño!
Unpredictable, uncertain, erratic and intense — this is what the impact of climate change would be on global weather patterns in the near future. With the rising average temperature of the earth due to emissions of greenhouses gases, global warming and climate change have been reshaping the way weather events behave. El Niño, a naturalRead More
What’s the Future of Climate Migrants?
Humans are on the move, en masse! As we continue to use fossil fuels for our energy needs, the concentration of greenhouse gases has been increasing, trapping heat within the atmosphere of our planet and thus raising its average global temperature. As a result, the climate change has triggered unpredictable, extreme weather events which haveRead More
Russia Isn’t Denying Climate Change Anymore!
With no brakes on consumption and combustion of fossil fuels for our energy needs, the increasing emission of greenhouse gases has been causing global temperature to touch record highs each year. The resultant climate change has been evident all across the world, which has been manifesting itself in forms of extreme weather events such asRead More
Eutrophication — Green Isn’t Always Good!
Anthropogenic activities have been putting our aquatic life under constant stress! With the rise in greenhouse gas emissions and the corporates and governments defaulting on their emission mitigation pledges, the concentration of carbon dioxide — a gas which traps heat — has been rising in the atmosphere, contributing to the phenomenon of global warming. TheRead More
Mitigation and Adaptation — Are We Ready to Face Climate Change?
In the history of our planet, we have been through several catastrophic events. The communities which were better prepared and adapted to the calamities survived and thrived, while the rest perished! The present-day challenge comes in the form of climate change and it is expected to be a rougher trip down the road. With noRead More
