Short affidavit on behalf of the Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board (RSPCB) in terms of the National Green Tribunal order dated January 22, 2025. The application was registered suo motu by the NGT on the basis of a news item titled "Toxic kilns pollution Aravallis; wildlife and locals suffer" appearing …
Pakistan’s 5,000 glaciers are melting faster than in any other part of the world, according to the Pakistan Economic Survey, 2014-15. Pakistan is listed among countries highly vulnerable to the adverse impacts of climate change due to its diverse topographic and demographic settings. The country is vulnerable to a host …
Pakistan is categorised amongst the highly vulnerable countries to the adverse impacts of climate change due to its diverse topographic and demographic settings. Pakistan’s 5000 glaciers are on retreat. They are retreating faster than any other part of the world, according to new Pakistan Economic Survey 2014-15. The country is …
Order of the National Green Tribunal in the matter of Court on its own Motion Vs. State of Himachal Pradesh & Ors. dated 06/07/2015 regarding pollution at Rohtang Pass. The Tribunal has noted with serious concern that there is complete chaos at the Rohtang Pass and its adjacent glaciers, which, …
U.S. wildlife managers released on Thursday a draft plan for stemming the decline of polar bears threatened by melting Arctic sea ice linked to global warming, but the proposal hinges on reductions in greenhouse gas emissions that are far from assured. Under a plan to be officially submitted on Monday …
Imperiled polar bears will see a population crash in most parts of the Arctic Ocean if global greenhouse gas emissions continue at current rates, causing accelerated melting of the sea ice the bruins depend on for survival, U.S. scientists said on Wednesday. A study led by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) …
Scientists were baffled last year after meltwater lakes atop Greenland's ice sheet suddenly drained out at rates rivaling Niagara Falls. Now a team of U.S. researchers says it has figured out the bizarre phenomenon and that could help them forecast global sea-level rise. Vertical shafts in the ice sheet, called …
The string of massive snowstorms and bone-chilling cold on the US east coast, as well as flooding in Britain and record temperatures in Europe, are linked to rapid ice loss in the Arctic, new research appears to confirm. While the rapidly-thawing Arctic cannot be held responsible for specific weather events …
Scientists have taken a closer look at the glaciers on the top of the world in order to better understand what changes they may undergo in the coming decades. It turns out that if greenhouse gas emissions continue to rise, glaciers in the Everest region may experience severe melting. "The …
Rising Temperatures Could Reduce Their Volume By Up To 99%, Says New Study Glaciers in Nepal's Everest region could shrink at least 70% or even disappear entirely by the end of the century as a result of climate change, scientists warned on Wednesday . Researchers in Nepal, the Netherlands and …
In this study, we apply a glacier mass balance and ice redistribution model to examine the sensitivity of glaciers in the Everest region of Nepal to climate change. High resolution temperature and precipitation fields derived from gridded station data, and bias-corrected with independent station observations, are used to drive the …
Pakistan is assessed to be one of the most vulnerable countries in the world to climate change with particulate threats to water, energy and food security, according to United Nations Development Porgamme (UNDP). A report on Climate Public Expenditure and Institutional Review (CPEIR) released by the UNDP on Monday revealed: …
A breakthrough international accord to curb global warming is within reach but major hurdles still loom including resistance to a legally binding accord, France's foreign minister said in an interview with Reuters. Senior officials from almost 200 nations will meet from Nov. 30 to Dec. 11 in Paris to try …
A dramatic shift has taken place in the glaciers of the southern Antarctic peninsula, writes Bert Wouters. Six years ago these previously stable bodies suddenly stated shedding 60 cubic kilometres of ice per year into the ocean. A stark warning of further surprises to come? The fact that so many …
Rapid implementation of measures to reduce black carbon in a range of sectors would deliver multiple benefits and near term results in health, climate and other areas Reducing black carbon emissions could prevent millions of premature deaths annually and play an important role in the global fight against climate change. …
With climate change heating things up, and the Earth's poles rapidly melting, it should come as no surprise that a major Antarctic ice shelf may completely disappear by 2020, according to a new NASA study. Massive amounts of glacier melt and freshwater are pouring into the Gulf of Alaska, which …
The last intact section of one of Antarctica’s mammoth ice shelves is weakening fast and will likely disintegrate in the next few years, contributing further to rising sea levels, according to a new NASA study. The research focused on a remnant of the Larsen B Ice Shelf, which has existed …
The last intact section of one of Antarctica's mammoth ice shelves is weakening fast and will likely disintegrate completely in the next few years, contributing further to rising sea levels, according to a NASA study released on Thursday. The research focused on a remnant of the so-called Larsen B Ice …
PARIS: The largest ice shelf in the Antarctic peninsula is being thinned by warmer seas and air and could catastrophically break up, scientists said on Wednesday. The loss of the Larsen C ice shelf could occur within a century but an earlier collapse cannot be ruled out, with major consequences …
SYDNEY: Growing sea ice surrounding Antarctica could prompt scientists to consider relocating research stations on the continent, according to the operations manager of the Australian Antarctic Division. Rob Wooding said that resupplying Australia's Mawson Station -- the longest continuously operated station in Antarctica -- relied on access through to a …
The largest ice shelf on the Antarctic peninsula is thinning because of warmer ocean and air temperatures that are driving it towards a collapse that could contribute significantly to sea level rise, a new study has found. The study by the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) analysed the Larsen C ice …
