The world relies on artificial intelligence (AI). At the same time, concerns about its environmental impact and sustainability are growing. The energy consumption associated with training and running AI models is raising alarms. Projections show that by 2027, AI servers could consume as much energy as Sweden.
Columbia University Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons (VP&S) is poised to break new ground in sustainable research. The university will build New York City’s first all-electric university research building. Set to begin in May, the cutting-edge biomedical research facility in will be in Washington Heights.
Climate modeling reveals a concerning possibility for Australia’s future—the looming threat of megadroughts that could last for more than two decades brought on climate change.
Climate change poses a serious threat and may increase wildfire activity in the Pacific Northwest. This is according to new research led by Oregon State University (OSU) and published in JGR Biogeosciences. The researchers used advanced modeling techniques to predict how wildfires will behave across millions of acres of forest land in Oregon and Washington.

A pioneering study led by scientists at the University of Sheffield has shed light on the unexpected side effects of large-scale forestation initiatives, revealing that these efforts could potentially negate the carbon benefits of reforestation.
Researchers are shedding light on the climate variability of the penultimate glacial period, 135,000 to 190,000 years ago. In a recent groundbreaking study, the isotopic measurements on stalagmites from the Sofular Cave in Turkey were examined to uncover evidence of Dansgaard-Oeschger events during this period.
For over half a century, the National Hurricane Center has relied on the Saffir-Simpson Windscale to classify hurricanes based on their destructive potential. However, as rising ocean temperatures fuel more powerful hurricanes, climate scientists are questioning the adequacy of the existing scale.
A groundbreaking new study makes a significant stride toward understanding the intricate dance between the ocean’s oxygen levels, atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), and climate change, by delving into the depths of the ocean floor and examining sediment deposits from the Arabian Sea.
At the Davos 2024 Annual Meeting, global leaders focused on the urgent climate crisis, highlighting the need for immediate, collaborative action to address environmental, economic, and societal challenges. The meeting coincided with alarming studies about record-breaking temperatures, the predicted loss of a third of the Alpine glaciers by 2050, and rising sea levels threatening coastal economies.
Green sea turtles are facing a mounting threat that goes beyond the usual challenges of poaching and habitat destruction. A recent study highlights a new dimension to their plight—the alarming impact of pollution on their sex ratios, which could exacerbate their risk of extinction.
In a groundbreaking study, scientists have applied the concept of evolutionary traps to human societies, unveiling a startling reality. Humanity, they warn, is at risk of being ensnared in 14 evolutionary dead ends, with implications ranging from climate change to technological overreliance and escalating infectious diseases.
According to a recent study , the world beneath the waves is becoming progressively noisier—and the culprit could be climate change. Keep reading to learn more.
Recent research has highlighted the intensified threats posed by climate change, emphasizing both the surge in simultaneous wildfires across the Western United States and the early arrival of severe hurricanes. These developments have major implications for emergency response and disaster preparedness efforts across the country.
Climate change is already effecting the most vulnerable among us according to a new report by UNICEF. Read on to learn what the organization says must be done to protect the worlds children.
The Grand Canyon, with its vast valleys and eons of rock layers, stands tall as one of the Seven Natural Wonders of the World and is offering clues to future climate change.
A recent study reveals that climate change’s effects on the intricate web of life in the Amazon basin. Keep reading to learn more about these important findings.
In the ever-evolving landscape of renewable energy, the inauguration of the Hollandse Kust Zuid (HKZ) 1-4 offshore wind farm stands out as a monumental stride.
Universal Hydrogen Co., a pioneering aerospace company, has embarked on an ambitious journey that promises to revolutionize the aviation industry.
As global populations continue to rise, the oceans have increasingly become a critical source of nourishment. Yet, the threat of climate change and human impact places enormous strain on the marine ecosystems that are home to our vital fisheries. New research is shining a light on new ways to future-fortify them for climate change.
Scientists continue to discuss the effects of man-made, or anthropogenic climate change. New research is revealing that migratory birds, particularly in Sweden, are struggling to adapt, often arriving late for the peak food availability crucial for breeding.
The European Alps recently bore witness to an alarming rate of glacier melt, with the 2021/2022 hydrological year recording notably severe mass loss. This was particularly evident on the Hintereisferner (HEF) glacier in Austria’s Ötztal Alps.
