Spring does not wait for Passover

In a new and particularly comprehensive British study, it was found that the spring blossoms in the country arrive a month earlier on average compared to the situation in the past

Greenhouse gases - what are the differences between them and why is it important to stop their emission

  • 7 תגובות
Much has been said and written about greenhouse gases that are emitted as a result of human activity and cause global warming and climate change, an important topic that deserves a detailed explanation

A new study analyzes the connection between volcanic eruptions and climate changes

Using computer simulations of volcanic eruptions over the past thousand years and theories that analyze the global energy balance, a new study locates and analyzes the connection between volcanic eruptions and various climate changes

The heat that collapses the peaks of the Alps

On the mighty peaks of the world, in conditions of extreme cold and little oxygen, an Israeli scientist investigates the connection between the thawing of frozen soils in the high mountain areas due to the climate crisis and the occurrence of dangerous rock avalanches

The hidden heater - laughing gas, which is also an ingredient in fertilizers

  • No comments
As part of the global effort to moderate greenhouse gas emissions, attention should be paid to the "laughing gas" (N2O). It's not so funny because it's a basic component of the fertilizer industry. The solution - precise agriculture that will provide each plant with the food it needs and not the scattering of huge amounts indiscriminately

The worst is yet to come: expected in prolonged forms in the future

A new study based on an analysis of climatic data conducted by researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and Columbia University in the USA: "Global warming is expected to cause even more widespread mega-droughts and fires across America, already in the near future"

The climate crisis is followed by the collapse of many living systems in large areas of the earth. It is fitting that humanity acknowledges the damage done to humanity and the vital need to remedy its consequences

The risk of flooding worldwide could increase up to 50 times due to sea level rise

  • One response
Researchers who combined satellite data and digital models showed that the risk of floods as a result of coastal inundation may increase in an accelerated manner during the 21st century, up to 50 times under the scenario of global warming without stopping, especially in the tropics. This increase is mainly caused by a combination of sea level rise and ocean waves

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]

A new method for capturing carbon dioxide

Major advances in carbon capture technology could provide an efficient and inexpensive way for natural gas-fired power plants to keep carbon dioxide emissions out of their stacks, an essential step in the effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions in order to slow global warming and adverse climate change.

The study, published in the journal Environmental Research Letters, shows that the drought of 2012-2016 nearly quadrupled the area severely burned, compared to the relatively cool drought of 1987-1992. This is certainly a result of the man-made climate crisis.

The true cost of pollution in Siberia

At the end of May, a red spill was reported in the banks of the Ambranaya River that spilled into Lake Pyasino, near the city of Norilsk in northern Siberia, Russia. About 20 thousand tons of oils (mainly diesel fuel) leaked from a fuel storage tank into the tributaries of the river. According to the reports, the leak occurred as a result of the thawing of "permafrost" - which caused the ground to sink and become unstable
