The Impact of Hot and Dry Conditions on South American Tropical Forests
Tropical forests have long played a crucial role in mitigating the effects of climate change by acting as carbon sinks. These lush ecosystems absorb more atmospheric carbon dioxide than they release, helping to regulate our planet’s climate. However, a recent study reveals a sobering reality – South American tropical forests lose their ability to absorbContinue reading “The Impact of Hot and Dry Conditions on South American Tropical Forests”
India’s Looming Water Crisis: Sustaining Livelihoods and Global Implications
Alarming findings highlight the profound impact of climate change on the country’s agricultural practices. As warming temperatures persist, Indian farmers are increasingly relying on the extraction of groundwater for their irrigation needs, potentially exacerbating the rate of groundwater depletion. If current trends persist, experts warned that the loss of groundwater could triple by 2080, posingContinue reading “India’s Looming Water Crisis: Sustaining Livelihoods and Global Implications”
