UK start-up Real Ice’s field trials in the Canadian Arctic show that pumping seawater onto snow-covered sea ice can thicken the ice, potentially offering a way to preserve it throughout the summer. Initial results indicate success, raising hopes for a solution to combat the rapid decline of Arctic sea ice due to climate change.
The climate crisis cannot be effectively addressed without acknowledging the significant role of the wealthiest 1% in driving global emissions. Their disproportionate carbon footprints highlight the need for targeted, equitable policies that reduce high-consumption behaviors and redirect wealth towards sustainable solutions. Through progressive taxation, wealth redistribution, investment regulations, and international cooperation, the world can take meaningful steps toward a more just and sustainable future.
Scientists at UC Berkeley have unveiled a groundbreaking method to address the global plastic waste crisis by vaporizing common plastics and converting them into reusable materials, all without emitting methane. This scalable and cost-effective technology could revolutionize recycling and significantly reduce plastic pollution.
