Climate Change Impacts Pathogen Prevalence in Birds and Bats
Climate change is increasing the intensity and frequency of heat waves. This extreme heat, compounded by wildfires and desert dust, is having a measurable impact on air quality, human health and the environment, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

Climate Change Driven Heat waves Worsen Air Quality, Health

Climate change is increasing the intensity and frequency of heat waves. This extreme heat, compounded by wildfires and desert dust, is having a measurable impact on air quality, human health and the environment, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
The deadliest animal in the world is smaller than a pencil eraser and weighs around two-thousandths of a gram — less than the weight of a single raindrop. Every year, it kills an estimated 700,000 people by partaking in what scientists grimly call a “blood meal.” Mosquitoes do not kill the way a shark or a lion does. Instead, they are “vectors” for many painful and life-threatening diseases, from dengue fever to malaria to chikungunya. When a mosquito “bites” someone, by stabbing a needle-filled proboscis deep into a blood vessel — it both sucks out blood and leaves some of its own saliva behind.

Climate change impacts increasing in Asia

The World Meteorological Office (WMO) has released a report stating that Asia is experiencing higher-than-average warming and increasing climate change impacts. Floods, storms, droughts, and severe dust storms have caused significant loss of life, damage, and economic losses in the region. The report emphasizes the urgent need for transformative adaptation and strengthening food system resilience to combat these challenges.

Cerberus Heat wave Grips Europe: Climate Change and Impact

The Cerberus heat wave intensifies across southern Europe, with temperatures soaring and surpassing records. Discover the causes, impacts, and the urgent need for climate change adaptation in the face of increasingly frequent and severe heat waves.
Ocean's Colour Changing as a Result of Climate Change; Study

Climate Change Alters Ocean’s Colour

Scientists from MIT and the National Oceanography Centre, among others, have detected significant changes in the colour of the world's oceans over the past two decades.
Discouragement of physical activity, low food quality, and increased consumption of calories from trans-fatty acids, which are often prevalent in disadvantaged neighbourhood, can disrupt the brain's ability to process information flexibly, according to a latest study.

Past Climate Change And Brain

A new study sheds light into a correlation between past climate changes and a reduction in the size of the human brain. In the new study, cognitive scientist Jeff Morgan Stibel analyzed climate records and human remains spanning a 50,000-year period to explore how humans have developed and adapted in response to environmental stress.

Climate Change adds to Cholera Spread

Climate change has driven an “unprecedented” number of larger and more deadly cholera outbreaks around the world in 2022, according to World...
In today's world, we find ourselves in the midst of a global crisis convergence, where a multitude of threats intersect and challenge our collective resilience. From the pressing issues of climate change and economic inequality to the divisive specter of political polarization, these challenges seem insurmountable. However, history shows that societies have faced and sometimes overcome such threats before. Today, we have a unique advantage: knowledge. This knowledge is not just a rehash of past events but is obtained through new methods and data.
