How Greenwashing In Marketing Affects Climate Change

|

Greenwashing in marketing poses a major challenge to addressing climate change. This problem is becoming more prominent as the world becomes more aware of the urgency of our climate crisis. Promises of environmental stewardship from companies or organisations can mislead the public into believing they are doing more to protect the environment than they are. […]

Are methane hydrates being released into the atmosphere as a result of global warming?

Is Global Warming Causing Methane Hydrates To Escape?

|

what is a Methane Hydrate? Ocean methane hydrates are white, icelike solids that consist of methane and water. They are an untapped potential future energy source.  Ocean methane hydrate deposits are a kind of shortcut fossil fuel. Methane gas is primarily formed by microorganisms that live in the deep sediment layers and slowly convert organic substances into

Permafrost melting in arctic areas can cause many other problems besides rising water levels. Escaping methane and other greenhouse gasses can accelerate climate change.

Permafrost Melt! The Chilling Facts about Losing Ice

|

Permafrost melt poses several risks to the environment and our health. Potential emissions from thawing permafrost have raised the curiosity of the scientific community. While there is still much to learn, here are some chilling facts about melting permafrost and its threat to humanity. We also look at the ways we may help to limit

Decarbonisation tackles climate change by reducing greenhouse gasses from our skies

How will Decarbonisation tackle Climate Change?

|

Decarbonisation reduces carbon dioxide (CO2) in the earth’s atmosphere. How do we decarbonise and what part does it play in the fight against climate change?  Why is Decarbonisation Important? Burning fossil fuels creates large amounts of CO2. The accumulation of CO2, and other greenhouse gasses (GHG), traps heat in the earth’s atmosphere. This causes average

Home Sustainability: How You Can Help Stop Climate Change

|

Climate change is no longer a distant future threat; we are feeling its effects here and now. Scientists from NASA have confirmed that global temperatures have reached their peak in the past millennium. Although there has been discussion about the role of industries and governments in reducing carbon emissions, there has been very little focus

Oceans and Climate Change

|

The relationship between oceans and climate change often forms key talking points when discussing environmental sustainability. For example, phrases such as ‘the sea levels are rising’, ‘oceans are getting hotter’ or ‘glaciers are melting’ are constantly perpetuated. It is important to understand how much our oceans mean, and how we can ensure their survival into

Melting Glaciers: It’s More Than Just Ice

|

In recent decades, global glacier depletion has become a ‘hot topic’. The world watches as age-old ice bodies are quickly melting away at unprecedented rates, due to human-induced climate change, and leaving behind dramatic changes to mountain landscapes, freshwater scarcity and significantly rising sea levels around the globe (Rasul, Dahe and Chaudhry, 2008).

Global warming: What is it and how do we stop it

|

Why does global warming occur? Global warming is part of the larger climate change issue. It refers to the sustained increases in temperature, while climate change, on the other hand, is defined as the long-term changes in the averaged weather conditions (IPCC, 2018). The difference between global warming and climate change can be further explored
