Even a temporary increase of 3 degrees Celsius will cause massive and irreversible glacier loss – up to 16% more than in a situation where the 1.5 degrees Celsius limit is not exceeded – which will affect sea levels.

New research finds that melting ice in Antarctica is weakening the Antarctic Circumpolar Current (ACC) and could lead to worsening climate extremes, disrupting marine ecosystems, and reducing the ocean's ability to absorb carbon by 2050.

Are there too many trees in the forest?

A new Israeli study found that low density in forest plots helps trees fix more carbon dioxide and thus contribute to the fight against the climate crisis
The atomic structure of a single hole in a metal-organic framework shows how carbon dioxide molecules (gray and red spheres) bind to tetraamines (blue and white spheres), forming a polymer of carbon dioxide molecules that bind to the inner framework. Low-temperature steam can push the molecules of the gas apart, allowing the material to be used over and over to capture more and more carbon from power plant emissions [Courtesy: Eugene Kim]
