[ad_1] Some regions of the Amazon rainforest are more resilient to climate change than previously thought and may actually BENEFIT from warmer temperatures, according to a study. Researchers studied how changes in soil and air humidity affect photosynthesis Water stress was thought to have a largely negative impact This, in …

[ad_1] The coronavirus blockade led to a 20% global reduction in the amount of nitrogen dioxide emitted into the atmosphere between February and June. NASA’s analysis looked at the amount of greenhouse gases produced at 5,756 sites in 46 countries. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2) is less common than carbon dioxide, but …

[ad_1] According to a study, global warming is accelerated by the melting of light-colored Arctic sea ice, which exposes the “darker” ocean water to absorb more sunlight. German researchers found that this process forms a “vicious circle” of positive feedback, which could lead to an additional 0.77 ° F (0.43 …
