When these forests are cleared, the lower rates of transpiration may lead to permanent reductions in regional rainfall, and slow recovery of the forest.
biofuels have had huge economic benefits to the agricultural sector, but they are associated with increased emissions of greenhouse gases to the atmosphere,
if we are serious about mitigating climate change, we must shift our attention to sources of energy that emit no greenhouse gases to the atmosphere
The hydrogen content of the atmosphere has increased 70% since the late 1800s,
A lot of the proven reserves of fossil fuels must remain in the ground—never to be exploited.
The circulation and behavior of the atmosphere connects our world, ensuring that what happens anywhere on Earth is felt everywhere.
Earliest losses of biodiversity may be found among species in hot climates where some species are pushed beyond their physiological tolerance.
Scientific investigation is always advised, but experience suggests some caution in the application of geoengineering of our planet
Polar scientists estimate that the Arctic could be ice-free in the summer by mid-century.
