Extreme heat poses a significant threat to the survival of humans and mammals in the distant future. Climate change driven by human activities is increasing global temperatures, leading to more frequent and severe heatwaves. Prolonged exposure to extreme heat can result in heat-related illnesses and even fatalities among both humans and mammals. It also disrupts ecosystems, affecting food and water sources. Without effective mitigation and adaptation strategies, the continued rise in extreme heat events could indeed jeopardize the long-term survival of these species, emphasizing the urgency of addressing climate change and implementing measures to combat its effects.

Eruption-triggered tsunami: Kolumbo volcano’s historic natural catastrophe explained.
The volcanic tsunami at Kolumbo volcano 373 years ago was triggered by a violent eruption. This eruption caused a rapid expulsion of volcanic material and gases, displacing a significant volume of seawater. The interaction between the eruptive activity and the sea led to the generation of a tsunami. The explosion and subsequent collapse of volcanic […]
Subduction: How Earth’s Surface Water Shapes the Dynamics of the Core’s Outer Layer
Earth’s surface water triggers the transformation of the core’s outer layer through a process called subduction. When oceanic plates collide with continental plates, the denser oceanic plate is forced beneath the continental plate into the mantle. As the subducted plate descends, water is released, causing melting in the mantle above. This molten material then rises […]
Carbon Nanofibers from CO2: A Revolutionary Climate Change Solution
Scientists at the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Brookhaven National Laboratory and Columbia University have made a significant breakthrough in the field of carbon capture and storage. They have developed a method to convert carbon dioxide (CO2), a potent greenhouse gas, into carbon nanofibers, materials with a wide range of unique properties and many potential […]
