First Solar builds Major Solar Power Plant in China Desert
US energy giant First Solar won a deal to build the world’s largest solar power (two-gigawatt) plant in Ordos City, Inner Mongolia, China, aimed at helping mitigate climate change concerns. The solar facility is to be built in four phases over a decade and supply power to three million Chinese homes. However, the financial... »
Arctic sea ice
Probably, by 2040, we won’t have ice in summer at Arctic sea. Scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) and Canada’s McGill University worried that the area covered by ice in September — before new ice begins to form each year — could shrink from about 2.3 million to 770,000 sq. miles within... »
The world is getting "warmer"
The United Nations’ World Meteorological Organization says the Austrian Alps have as little as one-third the seasonal average of snow. Temperatures from Norway to the Mediterranean are up to 5 degrees warmer than normal. We won’t see ice at Arctic Ocean by 2080, according to Eberhard Fahrbach of the Alfred Wegner Institute (AWI), Germany.... »

Climate Warming Reduces Ocean Food Supply
NASA scientists have concluded that when Earth’s climate warms, there is a reduction in the ocean’s primary food supply. This poses a potential threat to fisheries and ecosystems. By comparing nearly a decade of global ocean satellite data with several records of Earth’s changing climate, scientists found that whenever climate temperatures warmed, marine plant... »
No ice at Arctic Ocean by 2080.
The extent of Arctic Sea ice has experienced a steady declining trend during the past 33 years. The Arctic Ocean’s ice field could melt entirely by 2080 due to global warming, according to Eberhard Fahrbach of the Alfred Wegner Institute (AWI), Germany. AWI is a member of the European Arctic research body DAMOCLES. At present, the... »
Polar bears are in trouble
Polar bears are marine mammals, they spend much of their lives on sea ice. However, declines in sea ice area and extent are happening in their habitats. They have less opportunities to find mates and foods. Just in last summer, four polar bears drowned trying to swim from one pack... »
Good bye Birds
As much as 72 percent of bird species in northeastern Australia and 38 percent of bird species in Europe could disappear completely if the planet’s temperature continues to rise. The population of penguin in Galapagos Islands has decreased by about 50% since 1970. The United States and China along with Saudi Arabia rank... »
