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…

Scientists Reveal a Bacteria That Could Store Energy and Create Fuel
Researchers from Cornell University have discovered a bacteria capable of synthesizing complex, energy-dense organic molecules from CO2 and renewable energy. This could provide an affordable, eco-friendly, scalable system to store and retrieve energy from renewable sources like wind and solar. In fact, no sustainable methods currently exist to store and capture green energy, as batteries…

Harvard Explains How Geoengineering Might Slow Down Climate Change
New research by Harvard shows how geoengineering may be one of the most promising climate change solutions and keep the worst effects of climate change at bay. Scientists already know that solar geoengineering can help minimize climate risks. This involves putting aerosols into the atmosphere, which then reflect sunlight and reduce global warming. There are…
