From food crisis to increase in health hazards, there are many challenges in the pipeline due to a constant inc...

The high moisture content or which receive artificial irrigation, rainwater, surface or groundwater infiltration produce leachate and methane gas at a high rate. It has been shown, from one study that once a dump is saturated, annual precipitation of 36 inches per year which exists in certain parts of the world can percolate 1 million gallons of contaminated water per acre annually. This is a lot of contaminated water - also known as leachate ...

      Global warming will have catastrophic consequences for the wider economy in California for a century, in a report released today says. Up to $ 2.5 trillion of the $ 4 trillion in real estate properties - houses and other buildings - data at risk from rising sea levels, wild fires and other extreme weather events occurring as the world gets warmer, according to a report from the University of California, Berkeley agricultural And ec...

These Days global warming is a very hot topic and little wonder, seeing as the earth grows hotter with each passing year. For a long time now the effect of man's industrialization and technological progress has quietly yet continuously eked away at the delicate balance of the planet's atmosphere and ecosystem, but within the last 30 or so years the pace of this damage has markedly accelerated! DOWNPLAYING GLOBAL WARMING In much the sam...

Global Warming effects are seen on our planet more and more and this topic became one of the hottest on the scene. Global warming effects are occuring, but who is to blame? Did we make this ourselves or is the planet itself going through the natural cycle of renewing. Global warming research has become a very big business throughout the world. Each year billions of dollars are spent studying climate change. The United Nations Environment Prog...

Increasing temperature is likely to lead to increasing precipitation but the effects on storms are less clear. Extreme weather Storm strength leading to extreme weather is increasing, such as the power dissipation index of hurricane intensity. Precipitation hitting the US from hurricanes has increased by 7% over the twentieth century. Some studies have found that the increase in sea surface temperature may be offset by an increase in wind sh...
