A molecule of CO2 emitted in India or China has the same effect on the climate system as a molecule emitted in the United States. No matter where we are, climate change affects us all the same.
Read moreRemember the Ozone Layer?
A few weeks ago, in the midst of rising coronavirus cases worldwide, political upheaval, extreme weather events in the form of back to back hurricanes in the northern hemisphere and typhoons in the southern, and ongoing fires in the American west, Mario Molina, a chemist whose work on the ozone layer earned him a Nobel Prize in 1995, quietly passed away in Mexico City. He was 77.

The Great Barrier Reef is located in the Coral Sea, off the coast of Queensland, Australia and can be seen from outer space. It is the world’s biggest single structure made by living organisms, composed of over 2,900 individual reefs and 900 islands stretching for over 2,300 kilometers (1,400 mi) over an area of approximately 344,400 square kilometers (133,000 sq mi).

It’s October, the spookiest month of the year, complete with ghosts and goblins, witches and black cats, scary stories and… climate change? Most of us have at least some small knowledge of the increasing effects of climate change on our planet—increased global temperatures, warming seas, rising seas, melting ice caps, bleaching corals, biodiversity loss, fires, floods, and more. There are, however, some spookier anomalies taking place around the world….
