According to an IPCC assessment released on Monday, there will be significant changes in the energy sector, such as a significant drop in the use of fossil fuels, widespread electrification, increased energy efficiency, and the use of alternative fuels (such as hydrogen), may cut global emissions to half by 2030. Even if the growth of emissions rates …

Because non-biological processes can produce roughly comparable structures and because such fossils frequently underwent extensive modification and metamorphism, the earliest morphological signs of life on Earth are frequently very contentious. What Are Stromatolites? Stromatolites are layered organo-sedimentary structures that reflect the intricate interactions between microbial communities and their environment. They have long been regarded as …

We are learning more about how airborne dust affects the climate thanks to NASA’s Earth Surface Mineral Dust Source Investigation (EMIT) project, which is measuring the presence of important minerals in the planet’s dust-producing deserts. However, EMIT has also proven it is capable of detecting methane, a powerful greenhouse gas. What Are These “Super-Emitters”? The …
