Evidence indicates that methane emissions were responsible for about half of global warming we’ve experienced so far—but compared to carbon dioxide, methane has received comparatively little attention.
Researchers call for immediate action to reduce methane emissions and avert dangerous escalation in climate crisis

Conserving biodiversity hotspots which cover just 1.22% of the Earth’s terrestrial surface could stop extinctions in their tracks and protect the planet for future generations.
Study identifies 16,825 sites around the world where prioritizing conservation would prevent extinction of thousands of unique species.

In 2019 alone, more than half a million people died due to a stroke linked to high and low temperatures, a new study found. With the world getting warmer due to human-made climate change, that number is expected to rise.
Study identifies 16,825 sites around the world where prioritizing conservation would prevent extinction of thousands of unique species.
A “feasible and financially affordable” plan to avoid the most likely extinctions of species in the short term: this is what an international coalition of ecologists and conservation stakeholders proposes in a study.
Real-time genomic surveillance, which uses sequencing to analyse the genetic material of pathogens, could prevent the next pandemic, a new study says.
Scientists want to simulate various climate conditions to help prevent real life risks to our planet.
Large numbers of fungi have been found living in the twilight zone of the ocean, and could unlock the door to new drugs that may match the power of penicillin.
A trove of more than 300 million gene groups from ocean bacteria, fungi and viruses has been made freely available online.
