Climate

The Sky IS Falling
I find it hard to believe how many people, especially rich and privileged people can blithely ignore this basic fact. This is mostly in the name of corporate profits, which is always going to be an ongoing issue. But this is a survival issue that involves all of us, rich or poor.

The Climate Change Question
A UK poll last week by the “money saving expert” Martin Lewis, concluded that price was more important to people now than ‘green issues’ and it made me consider the whole climate change argument from that perspective.

Why we need to protect the earth.
Why do we need to protect the earth? We need to protect the earth because if we don't the earth will be destroyed and even us humans will be affected, Even the animals will be affected, not having food, water, and even shelter will affect them, if we keep adding toxic things to the earth, such as pollution or even throwing trash into the seas or on the ground it can effect the world so much, as stated previously it will hurt not only us but animals.

Op-Ed: New Jersey Is Drowning In Rising Sea Levels
New Jersey is a hot spot for sea level rise. The environmental issue is putting the state’s coastal communities, ecosystems, and economies at risk. There is an urgent need to educate coastal decision-makers and the general public for disaster preparedness, flood risks, and climate adaptation. In order to prevent sea level rise progress any further, we as the human race need to work together.

Climate Change
What is Climate Change You Might Ask? Global warming caused by human-caused greenhouse gas emissions and the accompanying large-scale variations in weather patterns are two aspects of climate change.

The destruction of nature, a threat for Man as much as global warming
The message launched Monday at the opening of a global meeting on biodiversity is clear: the destruction of nature threatens humans "at least as much" as climate change and therefore deserves as much attention to avoid devastating impacts.

Horizon 2070: how climate change will increase the risk of cross-species viral transmission
Horizon 2070: how climate change will increase the risk of cross-species viral transmission Even under the most optimistic climate scenario, the displacement of mammals driven by global warming will result in at least 15,000 new cross-species viral transmissions by 2070. The emergence of the Covid-19 virus will probably not be an isolated incident, warn American researchers. According to their calculations published in Nature, at least 15,000 new viral transmissions between mammalian species will take place by 2070, mainly in Southeast Asia. In question, climate change leads to a displacement of animal species and therefore new opportunities for contagion.

Polution
he role of States has changed within the international framework. The evolution of international law led to envisage sovereignty under equality, effectiveness, and freedom amongst States. Some scholars claim that these three elements can be summarized under the laissez-faire approach. Consequently, classical international law recognizes States to be equally free provided they submit to “certain rules of the game.”(1) Hence, States are still relevant in implementing legislation, but more importantly, they are fundamental as legislators and enforcement agency for international environmental law. However, there has been a shift in the role they play. States have become much more operational. They are considered as an instrument for the implementation and development of international environmental law. Some scholars argue that the concept of statehood has shifted from a status-oriented approach to an action-oriented model. (2) This concept implies that there is a common ground for the development of common interests and institutions thereof. Although States have the final say in ratifying an agreement within law-making processes, they have lost the influence they used to have in the process of law-making.

Climate change will prolong tough times for allergy sufferers
Climate change, which is caused by increasing greenhouse gas emissions, will result in an extended allergy season, according to researchers at the University of Michigan. Pollen from grasses, flowers, and trees will also become much more intense, according to the study. The new findings were published in the journal Nature Communications.
