  • The global temperature may be even higher than we thought

    5 days ago | newscientist.com | Madeleine Cuff

    The world has warmed even more than we thought, according to a new dataset suggesting the temperature rise since pre-industrial times is 6 per cent higher than previous estimates. That would put us on track to breach the Paris climate goal of keeping warming below 1.5°C sooner than feared, in 2028 rather than the 2030-2035 timeframe usually cited by scientists.

    Environment Villagers in Blatten, Switzerland were evacuated earlier this month after authorities warned a nearby glacier was on the brink of collapse – one of many becoming less stable as global temperature rise A huge portion of a glacier in the Swiss Alps has broken off from the mountainside, sending rock, mud and ice crashing onto the village of Blatten. Authorities have been warning of a potential collapse of the Birch glacier for weeks now as cracks appeared in the ice.

  • The world could experience a year above 2°C of warming by 2029

    1 week ago | newscientist.com | Madeleine Cuff

    The world could see its first year of warming above 2°C by the end of the decade, leading climate scientists have warned for the first time. Each year, researchers at the Met Office – the UK’s national weather service – use observational climate data and modelling from institutions around the world to predict the global climate for the coming five years.

  • Honingbijen raken in de war van ‘elektrische vervuiling’ van hoogspanningskabels

    1 week ago | newscientist.nl | Madeleine Cuff

    Elektrische velden in de lucht, zoals die van hoogspanningskabels, lijken een dramatisch effect te hebben op het foerageren van honingbijen. Dat leidt tot bezorgdheid over de gevolgen hiervan voor bestuivers. Elektrische signalen van hoogspanningskabels ontmoedigen bijen om te landen op nabijgelegen bloemen. Er is een groeiende bezorgdheid dat deze zogenaamde “elektrische vervuiling” het gedrag van insecten op grote schaal zou kunnen verstoren.

  • Honeybees are getting confused by electric pollution from power lines

    2 weeks ago | newscientist.com | Madeleine Cuff

    Electric signals from power lines discourage bees from landing on nearby flowers, and there is growing concern that this so-called “electric pollution” could be causing widespread disruption to insect behaviour. Alongside bumblebees, honeybees have been shown to detect and respond to airborne electric fields – which are often caused by static electricity in the natural world – detected through hairs or antennae.
