8. US will stop tracking the costs of extreme weather fueled by climate change11:22[-/+]
Категория(?)  
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration will no longer track the cost of climate change-fueled weather disasters, including floods, heat waves, wildfires and more. It is the latest example of changes to the agency and the Trump administration limiting federal government resources on climate change.

15. Simple oxygen tweaks could curb 'laughing gas' emissions from wastewater systemsЧт, 08 мая[-/+]
Категория(?)  
Laughing gas (nitrous oxide or N2O) is primarily released by the microorganisms responsible for cleaning our wastewater. These microbes live in complex communities, with each group performing a specific role. Emissions vary throughout the day and across seasons, and the intricate microbial processes behind them remain largely unknown—making it difficult to design effective strategies to reduce emissions.

16. Nature visits can improve well-being disparities among urban dwellersЧт, 08 мая[-/+]
Категория(?)  
Hiking. Camping. Even just walking in the park. Be it a current hobby or a childhood pastime, many urban residents have engaged in activities that have nurtured in them a positive relationship with nature. But in our modern society, disparities in access to nature have only grown larger between residential areas. And while this especially affects those that face social and economic challenges, research that explores the relationship between district-level socioeconomic status, nature and well-being remains limited.

19. Study reveals all of the biggest US cities are sinking: Groundwater pumping is the main cause in mostЧт, 08 мая[-/+]
Категория(?)  
A new study of the 28 most populous U.S. cities finds that all are sinking to one degree or another. The cities include not just those on the coasts, where relative sea level is a concern, but many in the interior. Furthermore, using newly granular data, the study finds that some cities are sinking at different rates in different spots, or sinking in some places and rising in others, potentially introducing stresses that could affect buildings and other infrastructure.

21. Even as emissions level off, carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is growing faster than ever. Here's whyЧт, 08 мая[-/+]
Категория(?)  
Over the last decade, humanity's emissions of carbon dioxide (CO2) have stabilized after a period of huge growth. Average growth is now down to just 0.6% per year, compared to 2% per year in the previous decade. But leveling off isn't the same as declining—and we've leveled off at a very high rate of emissions. The Global Carbon Project estimates human activities released a record high of 10.2 gigatons of carbon (GtC) in 2024.

23. Waxing and waning prairie: New study unravels causes of ancient climate changesЧт, 08 мая[-/+]
Категория(?)  
A new study from the University of Helsinki has provided a compelling new explanation for the devastating droughts that took place in North America thousands of years ago. This period, known as the Holocene, covers the time of a generally warm climate following the last ice age. These exceptionally long-lasting droughts had drastic impacts on forest dieback and ecosystem transformations; understanding their causes is essential to improving societal resilience to future climate variations.
