Scientists Develop a Plant-Based Jet Fuel to Decrease Emissions by 68%
Researchers have developed a sustainable jet fuel made of plants, which can lower emissions by 68%. This new aviation fuel comes from a type of mustard plant, according to research by University of Georgia scientist Puneet Dwivedi. Dwivedi and his team estimated the break-even price and life cycle carbon emissions of this sustainable aviation fuel…

Earth’s Energy Imbalance Has Doubled, According to Science
A joint NASA and NOAA study found that Earth’s energy imbalance approximately doubled between 2005 and 2019. This term refers to the difference between the Sun’s radiative energy the atmosphere absorbs and how much Earth emits to space. When the Earth gains energy (the current scenario), a positive energy imbalance occurs, and the planet heats…
