The global surface temperature for the first five months of the year was the second highest on record, marginally behind the strong El Niño year of 2016. The month of May was the...
Growth in renewable power has been impressive over the past five years. But too little is happening in heating, cooling and transport. Overall, global hunger for energy keeps increasing and eats up...
In the past 50 years, Ethiopia has lost 98% of its forested areas.
To mediate this, it planted an estimated 350 million trees in just a single day in 2019.
Their...
