Switching to green ammonia in fertilizer could significantly reduce agricultural GHG emissions and presents a clear opportunity for players across the industry

At the current emissions level, there is a 50% chance that global warming will exceed 1.5 degrees Celsius consistently in about seven years, new research suggests.

Research has found that drought and declining water availability are increasingly impeding the ability of tropical ecosystems to soak up carbon dioxide, making the tropics a less effective carbon sink. This finding comes at a time when governments and businesses are relying heavily on the effectiveness of tropical forests to take up CO2 and store […]

We have no right to assume that any physical laws exist, or if they have existed up until now, that they will continue to exist in a similar manner in the future.

A new study has revealed that 380 zettajoules of energy was trapped by global warming between 1971 and 2020.
