Director Gabriela Cowperthwaite’s new space thriller I.S.S. shows astronauts and cosmonauts fighting for control of the space station—an all but impossible scenario.

The study found that between 55%-60% of the carbon dioxide produced underwater by bottom trawling will make it into the atmosphere within nine years.

Scientists have discovered a hitherto unrecognized source of atmospheric carbon emissions: bottom trawling. Their findings were published in Frontiers in Marine Science.

Earth's average surface temperature in 2023 was the warmest year on record, according to an analysis by NASA.

As one financial analyst says regularly on NPR, “Let’s do the numbers.” and by numbers here, it is not meant to be the S&P 500 or the latest interest rates.

Nearly a quarter of the world’s wild-caught seafood is scooped up by bottom trawlers, fishing vessels that drag heavy nets over the seafloor. These boats fish the world over and support numerous global seafood supply chains. Yet critics have dogged them as environmentally unfriendly. Conservation experts say they can damage sensitive marine ecosystems, like deep-sea […]

Climate and weather researchers weren’t expecting an exceptional year. But 2023 clocked in as the world’s hottest on record — a surprise to many scientists…

NASA warns of more climate extremes in 2024 and confirms that the Earths average surface temperature was at its hottest last year.

Bottom trawling is a previously unaccounted-for source of atmospheric carbon emissions, releasing 370 million metric tons of carbon dioxide each year, scientists reveal.

Bottom trawling disturbs the ocean floor, releasing carbon dioxide, researchers found. Critics question whether “trawl disturbance” is different from the carbon flux that naturally occurs in oceans.
