The unusual increase of jellyfish population in the world can make worse global warming and can lead to ecological disaster. These marine gelatinous creatures that annoy some people in the summer holidays, are producing more carbon than the oceans are capable of assimilating. This conclusion arrives from the study led by Rob Condon from the Virginian Institute of Marine Science and published in the journal magazine Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. The report explains ...

As there is less and less ice in the Arctic each year, polar bears are passing difficult times. The ice melts and breaks a lot earlier in the season than before. According to some researchers made and reported in discovery news, this changing of the ice and the earlier melting affects the period of reproduction of the female bears and they have less cubs than before. More and more females are seen with one cub only whereas ...

What to eat is a shot made by Jason Schwartzman that encourages to eat less meat in order to reduce global warming and climate change.  He encourages to change small things in our lives to make big improvements in the world. The video shows how changing what we eat can have an impact on the environment. The shot is an initiative of the environmental NGOs of United States, the Worldwatch Insitute, Food and ...

Geoengineering aims to tackle climate change by removing CO2 from the air or limiting the sunlight reaching the planet.  Geoengineers create projects to tackle the effects of climate change by removing greenhouse gases from the atmospheric air of by dimming a small percentage of sun’s light. Now it seem possible to reduce or even remove completely the rate of global warming. It can bring the climate to an optimum state. But is this a good idea? Do we know ...

These animals are threaten globally by climate change and they find it harder and harder to look for food. There have not a stable seasonal weather conditions and they rely mainly on this for their survival. However, due to the climate change,  there are more rains during winter, so the snow remains icy and that makes it  very difficult for them to excavate in the icy soil for food. This means that if they cannot get food, they die. The number ...

Interested in ecological research? Then you will be interested in Ecotron, a research platform created to study the changes and developments of the ecosystem. The new European Ecotron is situated in Montpellier. This simulator consists of an equipement that replicates, as closely as possible, the natural enviroment  to be able to observe and see changes. After 9 years of research and 4.3 millions of euro of investement, the new ecological project of  CNRS (Centre National de la Reserche Scientifique), executes the ...
