Tardigrades — also called water bears or moss piglets — are some of the most resilient creatures ever discovered. These microscopic animals, measuring no more than a millimeter long, can survive being frozen near absolute zero, boiled at extreme temperatures, blasted into space, and even exposed to deadly levels of radiation. Scientists are now studying…

Nigeria sea turtle conservation is quickly becoming one of the most urgent environmental battles in Africa. Along the country’s southern coastline, plastic pollution, poaching, and shrinking nesting beaches are threatening the survival of five endangered sea turtle species. Conservationists, local communities, and international partners are stepping up their efforts to rescue, rehabilitate, and protect these…
Protect Arctic from climate engineering — that’s the urgent message from more than 40 polar scientists who have warned against risky geoengineering projects in the Arctic and Antarctic. Their findings, published in Frontiers in Science, argue that artificially manipulating polar environments to slow global warming could do more harm than good. These warnings come at…
Swiss glaciers melting at record speed are rewriting the story of the Alps — but not all of it is good news. As the Aletsch and Fiesch glaciers recede, they are exposing bare rock, creating new habitats, and shifting entire landscapes. At the same time, they are erasing centuries of culture, displacing unique species, and…
Methane Leaks from Coal Boreholes in Queensland, Australia, have triggered alarm among scientists, environmental groups, and policymakers. Reports reveal that thousands of abandoned and active coal boreholes across the state may be leaking methane, a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide. These revelations highlight broader concerns about fossil fuel infrastructure and its hidden…
Introduction The world’s oceans are facing an escalating crisis known as ocean microplastic pollution. Among the most insidious contributors are tiny plastic pellets called nurdles, the raw material used to produce nearly every plastic product. Each year, trillions of nurdles spill into waterways and oceans, creating one of the largest forms of microplastic contamination on…
The recent UN Climate Aid Warning has drawn sharp attention to the global imbalance between skyrocketing defense spending and underfunded climate action. According to the United Nations, trillions are being funneled into military budgets while the planet faces escalating climate disasters, from deadly floods and heatwaves to biodiversity collapse. The UN Climate Aid Warning underscores…
Introduction The question of China Green Energy Leadership has emerged as one of the most important debates in global climate and political discourse. As the world races to transition from fossil fuels to renewable energy, China has positioned itself as a clear frontrunner in solar, wind, and electric vehicle (EV) industries. Yet, this dominance has…
