China Finalizes Its Decision Cut Off Ties With Coal Imports from Australia
China has decided to get coal imports from Indonesia, Russia, and Mongolia after Chinese officials held a high-level session with the power industries. According to Chinese media, China has formalized restrictions on Australian coal imports, which targets $14 billion in coal exports.
The Global Times reported that The National Development and Reform Commission had a meeting with 10 leading power industries and gave them the approval to import coal without limitations on clearance except for Australia.
It was also reported the priority of importing cola would be granted to Indonesia, Russia, and Mongolia. The power industries …
The Start of Threatening Warming Could Happen Between 2027 and 2042
The range of threshold in crossing threatening global warming is likely to occur between 2027 and 2042. The time frame is narrower than the Intergovernmental Panel estimate on Climate Change, which is the current year and 2052.
Climate Dynamics released a study conducted by researchers from McGill University. They provided an updated and specific method to predict the temperature of Earth. This new method can significantly lessen the doubts when compared to the previous methods used to gather historical information.
Scientists have made global warming predictions by utilizing climate models for the longest time. These are …
Emissions from Nitrous Oxide Has Become More Climate Threatening
As reported by recent major research from an international scientist team, Increasing emissions from nitrous oxide are putting the Paris Agreement’s climate goals in danger.
Because of the increasing use of nitrogen fertilizers to produce food all over the world, there is also an increase in nitrous oxide in the atmosphere. Nitrous oxide is a greenhouse gas that is 300 times more intense compared to carbon dioxide.
The study was published in the journal Nature. It was led by Auburn University and conducted by researchers from 48 different organizations from 14 countries, including the University of East Anglia in the UK…
Clean Energy Goals
Researchers from the U.S. Department of Energy’s Argonne National Laboratory, Brookhaven National Laboratory, Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory California Institute of Technology, and UVA’s College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences made a discovery that could get rid of the problem in keeping and distributing solar energy. Therefore, this is a great advancement towards the future of clean energy.
One method of getting solar energy is through the use of solar electricity to separate water molecules into hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen from this process will be kept as fuel so that it can be transported to …
How Conifers Maintain Their Green Hue
How do conifers, which are commonly seen on Christmas trees, maintain their needles’ green hue despite the boreal winter causing the shedding of leaves from most trees? Science has yet to give a definitive answer to this.
However, a group of international scientists, including experts from Umeå University, has discovered that there is a short way in the photosynthetic mechanism that makes conifers’ needles to keep their green color. The research was released in the journal called Nature Communications.
During winter, molecules from green chlorophyll absorb light energy. However, this energy cannot be used for …
