Australia will begin a major drive to tackle global warming, Prime Minister John Howard said Monday, as the country battles its worst drought in more than a century. The initiative was announced as
Rising temperature due to global warming is a serious threat to rice production in the country. Field trials across the world predict that we may be worse, with increased level of carbon dioxide in
This year's ozone hole over Antarctica is bigger and deeper than any other on record, US scientists said. The Ozone shields Earth from the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays and the layer thins out over
Projected anthropogenic warming and increases in CO2 concentration present a twofold threat, both from climate changes and from CO2 directly through increasing the acidity of the oceans. Future climate change may be reduced through mitigation (reductions in greenhouse gas emissions) or through geoengineering.
The source of the proposal was almost as remarkable as the idea itself.
Britain and the Netherlands will today attempt to force climate change to the top of the EU's agenda, warning that the world is only 10-15 years away from a catastrophic tipping point. Tony Blair,
