Iron fertilisation has long been touted as a glimmer of hope amid rising emissions – but a new study has seemingly debunked the theory. A “long-standing silver lining” to the wrath of climate change has been put under scrutiny, as scientists find a huge flaw in the theory. As heat-trapping emissions continue to bake the […]

A new study has warned that liquid crystal monomers from electronic devices are accumulating in the organs of endangered marine species. Potentially toxic chemicals from everyday electronic items have been detected in marine life in what scientists describe as an urgent “wake-up call”. Liquid crystal monomers (LCMs) are critical components of devices you probably have […]

Researchers have created a new mathematical solution to analyse how emission-intensive actors are responsible for increasing climate damage. A “groundbreaking” study has lifted the lid on just how much human-made climate change is impacting extreme weather across Europe. Climate researcher Gottfried Kirchengast and his team at the University of Graz in Austria have developed a […]

The Baltic Sea is showing no sign of quality improvement, despite decades of conservation efforts. The Baltic Sea has been under excruciating pressure for decades, as human activities have transformed it into one of the world’s largest “dead zones”. Due to a deadly trifecta of climate change, oxygen-sucking algae and internal matter cycles, the Baltic Sea is […]

Once considered a dystopian fantasy, space-based solar could soon transform the renewable energy sector. In 1941, two astronauts began the seemingly impossible feat of training a robot to operate a solar energy station in space, one capable of beaming power across the Solar System. Of course, this was purely fiction – the dystopian plot of […]
