The climate crisis

Earth Day, which falls on April 22.4, is an opportunity to look at our planet as it is today - because very soon, it will look completely different. A glimpse of how our children's and grandchildren's globes will look in not-so-many years from now

A transformation is currently taking place in the Amazon forest, and behind it stands a researcher: Prof. Paulo Artaxo, one of the most important scientists in the world, put together the plan that is currently being implemented in Brazil to rehabilitate and glorify the wounded rain forest. On the occasion of his visit to Israel, he tells how change is being made, explains why the deforestation carried out by the Bolsonaro government was against the constitution - and in fact unnecessary, and delivers a message as clear as the sun in the forest: "It's not too late yet"

Opinion: The human relationship to the climate and the environment is similar to intensive borrowing - except that we have no intention of regaining our peace. We must change our ways of working with the "bank" - because otherwise, we will sink into "bankruptcy" from which we will not be able to rise

This is according to a monitoring report of the findings of the sixth report of the International Panel on Climate Change IPCC. In the last decade, the global surface temperature reached 1.1 degrees Celsius above the average in the years 1850-1900

New research suggests that this is because the standard model does not take into account the slow nature of technological progress. As a result, the standard model overestimates the reduction in cumulative energy use achieved by a given energy tax

Poisoning in Israel - like mushrooms after the rain? A new study reveals the patterns of poisoning from wild mushrooms in our country. The main victims: children up to the age of 6, and also men. And what is the space where most poisonings occur? No, we are not talking about dense forests - but rather the lawns that we all know

Due to the war between Russia and Ukraine, Europeans are turning to the sun and the wind: according to the estimates of a new report, in 2022 there will be a significant increase in the establishment of renewable energy production systems in Europe, following the energy crisis created by the war. What can we learn from this?

IBM's Foundation Models will analyze vast databases of NASA satellite imagery and geographic information, and enable efficient searching of more than 300 academic articles on Earth, to help formulate insights and reveal valuable new knowledge for researchers dealing with The most pressing climate challenges

Climate change and its devastating impact are well known. However, in the last two years we are increasingly witnessing the threatening consequences of extreme climatic events, as was the case last summer in England when a temperature of 40 degrees was measured for the first time. The situation will only get worse and accelerate the extinction of many living creatures, says Prof. Uri Roll, one of the leaders of the research
