The big blue ocean is getting noisier, thanks to carbon emissions that have made the oceans more acidic.
Researchers have known for some time that acidity can influence the distance traveled by sound in seawater. In the 1970s, acoustic measurements showed that the reach of low-frequency sounds varies between oceans.
A whale’s call, for example, travels further […]

Critics are worried that mini-black holes made at the soon-to-open facility on the French-Swiss border might threaten the Earth’s very existence.
But the […]
It’s now a fact. The North Pole has become an “island” for the first time in history, courtesy global warming.
NASA’s satellite images have revealed that the melting ice has facilitated the opening up of both the north-west and north-east passages, making it possible for marine vessels to circumnavigate the Arctic ice cap.
In fact, the images […]
New greenhouse gases emitted in making flat-screen televisions or some refrigerants might be capped under a planned U.N. treaty to combat global warming, delegates at U.N. talks in Ghana said on Friday.Emissions of the recently developed industrial gases, including nitrogen trifluoride and fluorinated ethers, are estimated at just 0.3 percent of emissions of conventional greenhouse […]
Where ever I’m reading about environment and climate change
I mostly found the big-big reports,charts and studies.
But can somebody help me to simplify this by creating some basic guidelines to follow in our day to day life and help to conserve our mother nature from the ground level?
Do you mean desktop - as in […]
