The Earth Needs Love

To protect nature and control pollution, Pakistan and Saudi Arab has signed a memorandum. In this memorandum, nine important areas of environment are being considered. This document is a first of its type between the two countries. This initiative will allow us to focus on nine different areas of cooperation which include both g…

Ice cover has decreased over the past five decades and is now melting even earlier. Snow is reflective and an important role in regulating the earths internal temperature reflecting sunlight back into space. Decreased snow is leading to dryer soil and increasing risks of wildfire as well as a decrease in drinking water and irrigat…

Only the oceans are becoming more acidic, but ninety percent of global warming is happening in the ocean causing their temperature to rapidly increase. Heat causes the water to expand, causing the sea level to rise, and changes the oceans health and biochemistry.   The effects of the global warming are very alarming like it includ…

Ocean absorbs approximately 30% of human-made CO2 changing the chemistry of seawater to become more acidic. This first affects marine life like coral and plankton being able to form shells and skeletons and ends with some groups of small fish with a loss of habitat and food supply. It results in the less life span of the numerous …

Intensity and frequency of extreme weather events has undoubtedly increased in the United States. Warmer air contains more water vapor than cooler air, and the extra moisture in the air leads to heavier rainfalls, leading to catastrophic floods. This is also linked with the unexpected variations in the extreme weather conditions w…

Yes, cattle are the number 1 source of agricultural greenhouse gases worldwide. A single cow can produce about 220 pounds of methane a year. Scientists are now exploring ways to make cows more sustainable and well, less gassy.  Many living organisms including the animals are also being affected by the climate change effects. Cattl…

11% of greenhouse gas emissions caused by humans are due to deforestation. Carbon dioxide can be emitted from forestry including clearing for agriculture and degradation of soils.  On the contrary, reforestation can remove CO2 from the atmosphere!  There are many sources of the greenhouse gases which includes both the man-made as …

Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets have decreased an average of 427 billion tons of ice per year.   To really put that number into perspective, imagine 19 football fields.  The number is still expected to rise in the future because of the increasing man-made and natural activities in our environment.

The average global surface temperature has increased 2.12 degrees Fahrenheit since 1880. Two-thirds of that being since 1975, just highlighting that human activity is a big factor.  The US accounts for 4.4% of the world population, yet one of the biggest greenhouse gas emitters after China at number one with almost double the shar…

The Average Sea Level is expected to rise at least a foot, and worst-case scenario up to EIGHT feet! It won’t stop there! Sea level has risen 8-9 inches since 1880 and the rate is only accelerating. Sea Level Rise is primarily driven by two factors related to climate change. The first factor is “thermal expansion” – as ocean tem…
