Mars 2020 Space Exploration Mission and the Perseverance Rover

We’ve previously discussed the minimal footprint of space programs when comparing them to other carbon emission-intensive sectors, but still, space exploration has never been considered sustainable. So why is NASA still looking to the stars when Earth is at a tipping point?

Climate Change Adaptation Strategies

Today, we’re going to look at Climate Change Adaptation Strategies. But remember, rather than only continuing to plan and strategize our adaptation to climate change, we need to come together to minimize the changes to our climate and global warming. Innovation and systemic changes are vital to this. Research whether your local or national administrators have such plans in place and hold them accountable if they are not rigid enough–or if they don’t even have a plan–by using your vote.

Methane & Global Warming

Police of a little-noticed 2018 methane leak at an Exxon Mobil site in Ohio was one of the worst in recent memory, outpacing the methane emissions from the entire oil and gas industries of many countries.

When we discuss climate change, most of our focus is on carbon dioxide or CO2 emissions. But why don’t we talk about other heat trapping gases such as Methane (CH4), Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Nitrous Oxide (N2O)? The short answer is there is more CO2 in the atmosphere than any other greenhouse gas at around 80% of total emissions. But did you know, methane is over 80 times more potent than CO2?
