Setbacks in Green Hydrogen Development Threaten Global Emission Reduction Goals

The green hydrogen industry is facing major challenges as several projects worldwide are being scaled back or canceled due to high production costs and weak demand. This slowdown puts at risk ambitious climate targets, such as the European Union’s goal to reach 40 gigawatts of green hydrogen capacity by 2030 — current projections suggest only […]

Invisible Forest Guardians: Scientists Reveal Urgent Need to Protect Earth’s Underground Fungi

A groundbreaking study led by Dr. Sabrina Trivedi from the Society for the Protection of Underground Networks (SPUN) has unveiled the critical importance of mycorrhizal fungi — tiny organisms forming vital underground partnerships with plants worldwide. By analyzing over two billion fungal DNA samples from 130 countries, the team created detailed global maps showing that

Trump’s EPA Pushes to Undo Scientific Basis for Climate Regulations, Threatening Emissions Limits and Global Climate Goals

In a controversial move, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under Donald Trump’s leadership has proposed revoking the 2009 “endangerment finding” — the scientific and legal basis that allows greenhouse gas emissions to be regulated under the Clean Air Act. This landmark decision, originally rooted in decades of climate science, declared that carbon dioxide and other

A Sixth Ocean Is Forming as East Africa Splits Apart: A New Sea in the Making

Geologists have confirmed that a monumental tectonic event is unfolding in East Africa — the African continent is literally splitting apart, and a new ocean is forming in the process. The East African Rift System, which stretches across Ethiopia, Kenya, Tanzania, and Mozambique, is one of the few places on Earth where you can watch

From kelp to whales, marine heatwaves are reshaping life beneath the waves

Our oceans are heating up like never before, and life beneath the surface is feeling the burn. In 2023, a staggering 96% of the world’s oceans experienced extreme heatwaves—an alarming record that signals how rapidly our climate is shifting. These marine heatwaves, like the infamous “Blob” that scorched the Pacific from 2014 to 2016, devastated

Norway tests world’s first upside-down wind turbine — a bold design generating clean power and curious effects

Off the southwest coast of Norway, a strange-looking wind turbine is quietly making waves—by spinning in reverse. Developed by the Norwegian startup World Wide Wind, this 30-kilowatt floating prototype flips the traditional design upside down. Instead of blades perched high on a tower, it’s anchored from below the waterline, allowing it to sway and tilt

Philippines turns to blue carbon ecosystems to protect communities from climate disasters

Across the Philippines, coastal communities are embracing the quiet power of nature to fight back against climate shocks. Blue carbon ecosystems—like mangroves, seagrass beds, and tidal marshes—are proving to be natural shields against rising seas, fierce storms, and coastal erosion. These unique habitats don’t just protect lives; they also store massive amounts of carbon—up to

Tunisia’s Kerkennah Islands face growing threats to cultural heritage from climate change, tourism, and neglect

The Kerkennah Islands, a serene archipelago off Tunisia’s eastern coast, are home to a rich cultural heritage dating back thousands of years. Known for their traditional fishing technique called “charfia” and the cultivation of the rare Asli grape, these islands have long held a special place in Tunisia’s history. However, climate change is rapidly altering
