In a joint appeal, 31 non-governmental organizations (NGOs) have strongly criticized the German government's planned cuts in development policy and urged the Cabinet not to support the plans.

As the frequency and intensity of wildfires increase due to climate change, their impact extends beyond environmental degradation and economic loss. A recent study published in the International Journal of Public Health reveals exposure to wildfire smoke is associated with impaired cognitive health, particularly math and language skills. While the physical health consequences of wildfires, such as respiratory and cardiovascular issues, are well-documented, the cognitive effects remain underexplored. Cognitive abilities are fundamental to decision-making, behavior formation, and economic develo...

Washington (AFP) - It's well known that as far as the climate crisis goes, time is of the essence. Now a study out Monday shows that the melting of the polar ice caps is causing our planet to spin more slowly, increasing the length of days at an "unprecedented" rate. The paper, published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, shows that water flowing from Greenland and Antarctica is resulting in more mass around the equator, co-author Surendra Adhikari of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory told AFP. "It's like when a figure skater does a pirouette, first holding her arms close to he...
