Australia attempted to water down a resolution on climate change agreed by country representatives at the Pacific Islands Forum, a leader attending the event has claimed. Pacific leaders issued the Boe declaration on Wednesday night, calling climate change “the single greatest threat to the livelihoods, security and wellbeing of the peoples of the Pacific” at […]
সৌরজগতের বৃহত্তম গ্রহ বৃহস্পতিতে পানি রয়েছে বলে দাবি করেছেন যুক্তরাষ্ট্রের মহাকাশ গবেষণা প্রতিষ্ঠান নাসার বিজ্ঞানীরা। তাদের দাবি বৃহস্পতির ‘গ্রেট রেড স্পটে’ পানি রয়েছে। এ এলাকায় ৩৫০ বছরের বেশি সময় ধরে একটি ঘূর্ণিঝড় চলছে। এই ঝড়ের ওপরে থাকা মেঘেই পানির সন্ধান পাওয়া গেছে। এনডিটিভি। অ্যাস্ট্রোফিজিসিস্ট (জ্যোতির্বস্তুবিদ) গর্ডন বিজোরকারের নেতৃত্বে মার্কিন যুক্তরাষ্ট্রের মেরিল্যান্ড থেকে টেলিস্কোপের মাধ্যমে বিজ্ঞানীরা […]
We could not have imagined that our campaign against single use plastics and for a latte levy on disposable coffee cups would be met with such rapid success. We launched our Cut the Cup Waste campaign in January this year and today we report that Robert Jenrick, a Treasury minister, signalled that Philip Hammond, the chancellor, […]
About 300 endangered sea turtles were found dead off the southern coast of Mexico on Tuesday, trapped in fishing nets, shortly after more than 100 dead turtles were recovered. Fishermen in the southern state of Oaxaca discovered the turtles in the seaside community of Barra de Colotepec, said Heliodoro Diaz, the coordinator of the state's […]
Heavy metals like nickel and zinc are usually the last thing that plants want to grow next to in high concentrations. But a specialised group, known as hyperaccumulators, have evolved to take up the normally toxic metals into their stems, leaves and even seeds. Researchers have been studying Pycnandra acuminata in particular – a tree […]
The finding suggests human activities have long-lasting impacts on coral reef communities and could be contributing to their decline. Coral reefs are some of the most diverse and valuable ecosystems on Earth, supporting more species per unit area than any other marine environment, according to NOAA. Reefs buffer adjacent shorelines from waves and prevent erosion. […]
রাজবাড়ীর পদ্মা নদীতে আবারও ভাঙন দেখা দিয়েছে। ভাঙনে গোদার বাজার এলাকায় ৫০ মিটার ব্লক নদীতে চলে গেছে। এ ছাড়া আরও প্রায় ২০০ মিটার এলাকাজুড়ে ফাটল দেখা দিয়েছে। এ ছাড়া আরও দুই জায়গায় ভাঙন শুরু হয়েছে। মঙ্গলবার বিকেলে এই ভাঙন শুরু হয়। তবে নতুন করে শুরু হওয়া এই ভাঙন রোধে কোনো ব্যবস্থা নেওয়া হয়নি এখনো। ভাঙন […]
Australia’s relationship with the Pacific region on the issue of climate change has been described as “dysfunctional” and “abusive” – providing aid to the region to deal with the effects of global warming but undermining attempts to halt its progress, according to a climate change representative for the Pacific nation of Palau. Xavier Matsutaro, the […]
For decades, experts have debated whether reducing the amount of nitrogen flowing into lakes can improve water quality in the long-term, even though blue-green algae can bind nitrogen from the air. However, no lakes with decreased nitrogen inputs have been monitored for long enough to clarify this – until now: scientists from the Leibniz-Institute of […]
A remarkable run of observations began 60 years ago at a weather station high on a volcano in Hawaii. Charles Keeling began monitoring carbon dioxide in the clean air at 3,400 metres (11,150ft) on Mauna Loa, far away from vegetation and urban pollution. His first measurements in 1958 showed 315 parts per million (ppm) of […]
