In October, a team of British researches will initiate the preliminary phase of a geoengineering project that they hope will help in the development of planet-scale techniques to bring the earth’s climate under control.

In reading posts on blogs and news organization sites, its obvious that folks are worried about literally every last ounce of…

The 2022 World Cup will be held in Qatar, a country that averages 106°F during June and July when the competition is taking place. Such intense heat will more than likely put a damper on the festivities and possibly result in fatalities, so organizers have been working to formulate a plan that will effectively shade both tournament attendees and players from the sun’s scorching rays. Engineering scientists from Qatar University have created the perfect way…

Its that time of year again! On Saturday, March 26th, beginning at 8:30 PM local time, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is asking every around the globe to turn off their lights for one full hour. This effort, originally developed in 2007 by WWF and Australia’s Sydney Morning Herald to bring awareness for climate change, took place in Sydney with an astounding 2.2 million participants.

Bamboo, a sustainable grass that grows wild in various parts of the world, can potentially curb global warming and offer revenue for local communities. The grass can capture carbon more quickly than any other fast-growing tree species, such as eucalyptus, according to Coosje Hoogendoorn, director of China-based International Network for Bamboo and Rattan (INBAR). Hoogendoorn recently spoke at the opening of Bamboo and Climate Change Mitigation, an advocacy campaign…
