Report: The heating Arctic now a carbon source
The warming Arctic not only affects local ecosystems and wildlife but also has far-reaching implications for global sea levels and weather patterns. The Arctic is undergoing significant environmental changes, including heightened microbial activity, thawing permafrost, and increased wildfire occurrences contribute to a net release of carbon dioxide, rather than its previous role as a carbon sink. This shift raises concerns about the exacerbation of climate change as the region, once a stabilizing factor, now contributes to greenhouse gas emissions. An [...]

Study: Oceans could rise 6.2 feet (1.9 meters) by 2100!
Recent research from Nanyang Technological University indicates that if carbon emissions persist at current rates, global sea levels could rise by up to 6.2 feet (1.9 meters) by 2100, presenting a significant risk of entire cities sinking beneath the waves within the next 75 years. Such an enormous increase would result in catastrophic consequences for the coastal cities around the globe, forcing millions to settle elsewhere and make vast regions uninhabitable. Earth: “The high-end projection of 1.9 meters [6.2 feet] [...]
