Lecture notes before COP30
Climate change continues to be one of the most urgent global problems of the twenty-first century. For decades, world leaders are sitting on the table with the search of solutions; many international agreements were signed from Kyoto Protocol (1997) to Paris Agreement (2015). However, while global emissions continue to increase, biological diversity is rapidly reduced. Except exceptional achievements such as the Montreal Protocol,...
The world's largest iceberg is broken
By moving with ocean discharges in 2020, weddell started to break the western part of the sea, the last year, as well as the largest iceberg A23a in the room of scientists. British Institute of Antarctica Studies (BAS) Vice President of the Department of Pole Oceans Dr. Andrew Meijers quickly separated parts of the ice mountain and this spark...
What does closed ecosystems teach us?
Climate change is one of the most critical issues of our era. Science emphasizes that the planet is increasingly faced with more ‘disable threshold’ points, applying for new methods to understand nature and see the future. One of these methods is human-made biospheres: huge closed systems that aim to recreate ecosystems under controlled conditions. Arizon...
European wind board power reached 291 GW
According to the report of the European Power Union WindEurope, the European wind energy board power increased approximately 6.8 gigavat in the first half of the year. 6 gigawatts of this increase consisted of 89 percent rising terrestrial wind energy, 741 megawatts of sea top (offshore). The increase in the European wind energy board power 5.3 gigantic European Union (EU)...
Will save the future of corals
Coral reefs in marine life are very important. The International Coral Reefs Initiative (ICRI) leads Saudi Arabia to the new era, and the goal is to cover the coral reef close to 90 percent of the world up to 2027. In this context, protection and restoration works are now limited to classical methods, supported by advanced technology. For half a million coral columns in Florida Keys...
Silent pollutants of the air in the house Home
Every morning at the beginning of the day, we take a hairdryer, a little brightener or shape with a straightener. These small steps that become a natural part of our daily care routines bring us a danger that doesn’t actually look if they feel better. Recent research, cosmetic products and heat-based devices are much more dirt than we think about the air of our home...
How to clean Swiss rivers?
Switzerland once has the most polluted rivers of Europe, today it shows example with the waterways of our tertemiz, which is referred to as ‘blue gold’. When it is dangerous to swim in these rivers, filled with raw sewage and industrial waste in the 1960s, people are able to enter the water even in the city centers. This conversion is not only with strong environmental laws, investments that last decades and...
We produce half of the world's oxygen planktons
The planktons dancing with sunlight on the surface of the oceans play not only the sea creatures, but also the head of people to continue their life. These creatures that are not seen with eyes are unable to remove carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, produce oxygen and create the first ring of the food chain. However, climate change narrows the living areas of planktons and leads to severe decline in numbers. Where to plan...
What is ocean accounting? Why is now on my agenda?
Problems such as global climate crisis, sea pollution and extreme hunting are forced to carry capacity of the oceans, a new approach that measures the economic, ecological and social value of the sea is widespread across the world: Ocean accounting. Traditional economic indicators, especially in gayrisafi with domestic harvest (GSYH), ignore environmental disruptions when measuring the level of prosperity of a country...
Made of electricity from rain
From Singapore National University, researchers managed to produce electricity through a tube through ordinary water droplets. The system used in the experiment was able to produce energy up to 12 LED lights. This invention indicates that the rain can turn into renewable and clean energy source one day. Science people are handed with a special water movement model called “dulum stream”...
The poplars brought to the ecosystem have grown again
In Yellowstone, the symbol of the world’s national parks, the regenerating of the corpses once destroyed, triggered a dramatic transformation in the ecosystem. Poplar trees, which do not grow for 80 years, started to join the forest cover for the first time. This development once again proves how each type in nature is connected to each other. The balance was destroyed in the 1930s, intensification, age...
1.5 trillion dollar health burden of plastic
A new global assessment revealed that plastics are not only the environment, but also seriously threatened human health. According to the report published in The Lancet magazine, plastic production increased by 200 times since 1950 and this increase has become a crisis affecting the health of people from all ages from babies to older. Report leads to serious health problems, health damage associated with plastic...
