JAN LUNDIN: Substantial Level of Economic Development is the Key to Greater Ecomobility
The Kingdom of Sweden has built up a great reputation in the world as a country that pays considerable attention to the preservation of the environment. Innovative and quality solutions for environmental...
Even With Huge Carbon Emissions Reductions World’s Periglacial Zones (Home To Permafrost) To Disappear By 2100, Research Finds
The world’s periglacial zones, home to essentially all of the world’s permafrost, will “almost completely disappear” by the year 2100 even in the most optimistic of scenarios concerning greenhouse gas emissions reductions,...
Ambitious 1.5C Paris Climate Target is Still Possible, New Analysis Shows
The highly ambitious aim of limiting global warming to less than 1.5C remains in reach, a new scientific analysis shows.
The 1.5C target was set as an aspiration by the global Paris climate...
There are Over 341,000 Wind Turbines on the Planet: Here’s How Much of a Difference they’re Actually Making
From the intense heat of the Californian desert to the green hills of Scotland, wind turbines are popping up all over the world.
Humans have been using wind energy for thousands of years....
9 States Embrace Clean Energy, Agree to Cut Power Plant Emissions an Extra 30%
Nine Republican and Democratic Northeast and Mid-Atlantic governors committed to further cut pollution Wednesday through the Regional Greenhouse Gas Initiative (RGGI).
