How algae could sustainably reduce the carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere
In collaboration with fellow researchers, chemists at the Technical University of Munich (TUM) have developed a process that, according to initial calculations, can facilitate economically removing the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. The latest World Climate Report (IPCC Special Report on Global Warming of 1.5 ° C) acknowledges the global relevance of the process.
The Wonders and Worries of ‘Extinct Animal’ Zoos
The future is both glorious and horrifying. As we continue to expand our technological footprint in the hopes of creating wonder, several issues remain fixed with a trajectory towards disaster. From climate change to the mass extinction of several animal species, there’s no doubt that we’re heading into ruin if we’re to keep this up.
As our technology continues to advance to the point of bringing the dead back to life, how will our own species react to a growing new population of animals that can die and live again?
A Lightning Storm Seen From Space
The ISS captured this massive lightning storm over China.
An intense storm has wiped out a remote Hawaiian island, and it’s a sign of things to come
- East Island is located about 550 miles northwest of Honolulu, Hawaii.
- In early October, the island was effectively wiped off the map when Hurricane Walaka swept through it.
- Scientists say East Island was the nesting ground for 50% of the world’s Hawaiian green sea turtles.
- It’s unclear if the island will reappear, and scientists expect future hurricanes to be stronger and wetter due to climate change.
An 11-acre island in the Pacific Ocean has vanished after Hurricane Walaka, one of the most powerful storms to sweep through the area, struck the island in early October.
Satellite photos show that East Island, located roughly 550 miles northwest of Honolulu, Hawaii, was wiped off the map during the hurricane.
