Black holes are drains in space that have gravitational pull so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. Huge ones are believed to lurk at the centres of many galaxies including the Milky

"Worst days lie ahead," warn environment experts in the capital revealing "chilling" facts as temperatures continue to plummet in north India. Rubbishing Met department's claim that "western

Washington will brandish its faith in technology to solve global warming with the launch of a six-nation climate pact in Australia this week but critics say it looks half-hearted without tough

The United States hopes a meeting of some of the world's biggest polluting nations and industries in Sydney will agree on a "common strategy" to reduce global warming by identifying industry-specific

Filtered surface water may finally flow to the areas along EM Bypass and the fringe areas of Behala, Tollygunge and Jadavpur, now dependent solely on deep tubewells. To achieve this, the Calcutta

A exrtraordinary burst of global warming that occurred around 55 million years ago dramatically reversed Earth's pattern of ocean currents, a finding that strengthens modern day concern about

Global warming, which everyone is afraid of, is not all that bad. The greenhouse effect will in fact help increase the farm yield. The high content of carbon dioxide in vehicular emissions has the

It has been suggested that the large scale use of biofuel, that is, fuel derived from biological materials, especially in combination with reforestation of large areas, can lead to a low-cost reduction of atmospheric carbon dioxide levels.

The aim of the study was to increase the understanding of the fundamental drivers of carbon emissions in the UK and to show how all carbon emissions can be attributed to the delivery of products and services to meet the needs of the end consumer. From this work, it is possible to identify the products and services which have the highest carbon emissions associated with their supply chains.

This special report does not seek to paint a comprehensive picture of the state of the oceans. It does not set out to recapitulate the many years of debate on ocean overfishing. WBGU concentrates instead on those key linkages between climate change and the oceans that are the topic of new scientific insights.These insights include new findings on warming, ocean currents, sea-level rise, carbon uptake and acidification, and on the impacts of these factors upon marine ecosystems.The report also discusses in detail the development of tropical cyclones, the issues surrounding carbon storage in the ocean or under the seabed, and the risks associated with methane hydrate deposits in the sea floor. Many of these issues are closely interlinked
