Deteriorating air quality in a warmer world

Not all air pollution are created by humans. As the global average temperature rises, harmful emissions from plants increase and more desert dust is dispersed in the atmosphere. Researchers from the University of Gothenburg ande MERGE-members, among others, warn that this leads to increased health risks. Climate change does not only mean that the global average temperature is rising by several deg

Savannahs slow climate change

This article is over 5 years old, and the information may therefore be outdated. Tropical rainforests have long been considered the Earth’s lungs, sequestering large amounts of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and thereby slowing down the increasing greenhouse effect and associated human-made climate change. Scientists in a global research project now show that the vast extensions of semi-arid l
