What A Year: 45 Fossil Fuel Disasters The Industry Doesn?t Want You To Know About

While coal, oil, and gas are an integral part of everyday life around the world, 2013 brought a stark reminder of the inherent risk that comes with a fossil-fuel dependent world, with numerous pipeline spills, explosions, derailments, landslides, and the death of 20 coal miners in the U.S. alone. Despite all this, our addiction to fossil fuels will be a tough habit to break. The federal Energy Information Administration in July projected that fos ...

1 in 10 people face water scarcity as a result of climate change

A forthcoming water crisis could affect one in ten people by the end of this century, found a?study?published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. As the planet warms, researchers expect to see as much as a 40 percent increase above current levels of what's known as absolute water scarcity.The scarcity won't just arise from population growth, the researchers say. There will be more people, but they'll be competing for few ...

We?re still losing ice at the poles

One of the key indicators and consequences of global warming is ice loss at the Earth?s poles. As the planet warms, on average and over time, more ice melts every summer. It refreezes in the winter, but again, as temperatures rise, in general we?ll see less ice at any given time as compared to the year before.The situation for the two poles is different. In the north, the Arctic ice floats on the ocean, and in the south, the Antarctic ice is over ...
