Scientists are always looking for better ways to study changes in our climate and weather. One important tool is satellite data, but getting accurate information for a long time is tough. That's why China started working on a special tool in 2015. This tool, called the Space Cryogenic Absolute Radio
The climate finance deal agreed at Cop29 has faced criticism from negotiators of some countries. The deal aims to triple the amount of money given to poorer countries to fight climate change, but it falls short of the $1. 3 trillion requested by developing nations. Instead, it sets a goal of $300 bi
Ever wondered how much it takes to fight climate change? Well, bigwigs from rich countries finally agreed on a plan after two weeks of talks at the annual climate conference. They promised to give poorer nations $300 billion each year by 2035. Sounds great, right? Not quite. Experts say we actually
You know how hospitals are huge contributors to carbon emissions? Well, let's zoom in on surgical care, a major part of the problem. This study is all about finding out where the most carbon comes from in surgical care and why. Researchers used a tool called the Congruence Model to understand these
At a recent climate conference in Baku, countries agreed to increase climate finance for poorer nations to $300 billion annually. This new target replaces the previous goal of $100 billion per year by 2020, which was met two years late. The agreement is seen as a way to keep the clean energy boom gr
You might not think ozone, which is usually talked about in the context of Earth's protective layer, would affect rainfall and wildfires. But scientists have found a surprising connection in West Siberia. Over the past few decades, changes in summer rainfall have greatly influenced wildfire activity
Imagine trying to fix a global problem like climate change. One of the biggest issues at the recent climate summit was money. Rich nations offered $300 billion towards the $1. 3 trillion needed, but they wanted the rest to come from private investors and new taxes. Countries that are less wealthy di
COP29 brought together people from 200 countries, all hoping to make a difference on climate change. But the conference ended in gridlock, with the huge challenge of finding money to fight climate change looming large. Wealthy nations only pledged $250 billion by 2035, while poorer countries needed
At the UN climate summit in Baku, Azerbaijan, a new draft deal proposed $250 billion annually for poorer nations to fight climate change. This amount, twice the previous goal, is seen as too low by developing countries who are hit hardest by extreme weather. The rich nations, however, argue it's the
Climate change is a big problem for our health and the systems that take care of it. It's like a double burden because it affects both our direct health and the systems that protect us. Scientists have looked at a lot of studies to figure out what the main issues are and where there are gaps in our
