Fighting Fires and Reducing Waste: How the National Greening Fire Team Started a Recycling Program
2021-08-26 14:11:00| Waste Age
Forest fires burn millions of acres each year, leaving devastation in their path. In 2020, 10.1 million acres were destroyed, up from 4.6 million acres the year before, according to the National Interagency Coordination Center. Along with the dest

Humans are greening the planet, but the implications are complicated

Guardian: The Earths climate is changing in fact, it always changes. But in the current context of human influence, scientists try to decipher how much of the change is natural compared to human-induced. One clear way humans influence the Earth is through the biosystem. For instance, farming changes the biosystem. By removing natural growth and planting annual crops that are harvested, we change the system in a way that could in turn affect other parts of the Earth system. In addition, the use of nitrogen...

Climate News Network: The northern edge of North America is getting steadily greener. In the most detailed study so far of plant growth across Alaska and Canada, scientists say that about a third of the land cover now looks less like tundra, and more like a warmer ecosystem. The researchers report in the Journal of Remote Sensing that examination of 87,000 images captured by the NASA Landsat satellite reveals that Alaska, Quebec and other regions became greener between 1984 and 2012. Landsat, a project also backed...
Global warming is greening up the far north

Summit County Voice: After taking a close look at 87,000 satellite images, NASA scientists say the northern parts of Canada and Alaska are getting greener. Shrubs are sprouting in grassy tundra zones and shrubs are growing bigger and denser changes that could have impacts on regional water, energy and carbon cycles. The new NASA study adds more detail to previous research that reached similar conclusions and could help inform climate scientists about how the changes will affect global temperatures. The study covered...
