In California and beyond, lawmakers are taking action for the environment. But advocates for people with disabilities say the bans create yet another hurdle to dining in public. At first glance, bans on plastic straws might seem like a simple – and harmless – next step for the environmentally conscious. Love sea turtles? No more […]
California is one signature away from committing to 100 percent clean electricity. If it does so, it will become the most significant political jurisdiction in the world to take that step, by a wide margin. (It is the world’s fifth-largest economy!) The state is on the verge of making history — again. SB 100, the […]
The majority of the British public would like to install solar panels and home energy storage schemes if greater government assistance was available, a new survey has revealed. In total 62 per cent said they would like to fit solar panels and 60 per cent would install an energy storage device. An even greater proportion – 71 […]
Rising global temperatures mean pests will devour far more of the world’s crops, according to the first global analysis of the subject, even if climate change is restricted to the international target of 2C. Increasing heat boosts both the number and appetite of insects, and researchers project they will destroy almost 50% more wheat than […]
Better management of fisheries and fishing rights around the world could increase profits and leave more fish in the sea as long as measures to meet climate obligations are taken, new research has found. Even if temperatures rise by as much as 4C above pre-industrial levels – in the upper range of current forecasts – […]
কলকারখানার বিষাক্ত বর্জ্য, ময়লা-আবর্জনা ফেলে ভরাটসহ প্রভাবশালীদের দখলের কারণে এক সময়ের খরস্রোতা সোনারগাঁর পঙ্খিরাজ খালটি অস্তিত্ব সংকটে পড়েছে। অথচ এ খালের তীরঘেঁষেই গড়ে উঠেছিল প্রাচীন বাংলার বিশ্বখ্যাত জনপদ পানাম নগরী। নগরীর ব্যবসা-বাণিজ্যের একমাত্র পানিপথ ও সুরক্ষা দেয়াল ছিল পঙ্খিরাজ। একসময় সোনারগাঁ, আড়াইহাজার, রূপগঞ্জসহ অনেক গ্রামের মানুষের নৌকাযোগে চলাচল ও পণ্যসামগ্রী আনা-নেওয়ার একমাত্র ভরসা ছিল এটি। […]
Wildfires are spanning the northern hemisphere. Local impacts have been severe; notably the loss of habitat and life, including the tragic deaths in Greece. Smoke has caused air pollution problems in nearby cities, exposing millions of people. Moorland fires affected air pollution in Manchester. Cities on the west coast of the US and Canada, including […]
Ministers are “deliberately weakening” the green watchdog that will hold the government to account after Britain leaves the EU, according to Labour’s shadow Brexit minister. Theresa May pledged last January to create a “world-leading, independent, statutory body” to ensure ministers stick to their commitments – replacing the power of the European commission to take governments […]
An international research team found that planet warming drove major changes in vegetation and future warming may drive similarly dramatic changes around the world. As the last ice age came to an end and the planet warmed, the Earth’s vegetation changed dramatically, reports a University of Arizona-led international research team in the journal Science. The […]
Researchers compiled and evaluated pollen and plant-fossil records from nearly 600 sites worldwide for their study of vegetation change. Without dramatic reductions in greenhouse-gas emissions, most of the planet’s land-based ecosystems—from its forests and grasslands to the deserts and tundra—are at high risk of “major transformation” due to climate change, according to a new study […]
