Amid predictions of climate change driving up temperatures and causing more extreme heat events, a new study led in part by University of Maryland researchers has found that growing one perrenial grass could cut warming there by 1 degree Celsius.
One important measure to mitigate climate change is to emit less greenhouse gas. The transport sector in particular can make a significant contribution here, for example by replacing gasoline derived from fossil petroleum with bioethanol made from renewable raw materials, like Miscanthus.
World temperatures are rising because of human activity, and climate change now threatens every aspect of human life. Left unchecked, humans and nature will experience catastrophic warming, with worsening droughts, rising sea levels and mass extinction of species. The world faces a huge challenge, but there are potential solutions. What is climate change? Climate is …
