COP26 - UN Climate Change Conference Coal is one of the oldest energy sources on the planet, but it's also the biggest net contributor to greenhouse gases on the planet. In 2019, as much as 37% of the total energy produced in the world came from burning coal, but as of today a new pledge has been signed by over 40 countries at COP26 to move away from coal as an energy source - to more renewable alternatives. Signatories for this pledge include countries like Poland, Vietnam, and South Africa - the last of which was reliant on coal for as much as 80% of its energy. As part of the pledge, all signing nations are now committed to ending all investment in new coal power both at home and abroad, with additional promises to phase out coal in developed countries by the 2030s and developing countries by 2040. "The world is moving in the right direction, standing ready to seal coal's fate and embrace the environmental and economic benefits of building a future that is powered by cl...

The COP26 is the largest international event of its kind ever to be held in the UK with more than 25,000 delegates arriving in the city of Glasgow - including world leaders, opinion formers, and business giants. It will work to prevent global temperatures rising above 1.5C and protect our planet and people from the impacts of climate change. The UK has already achieved notable successes. Around 70% of the world’s economy is now covered by net zero targets, up from less than 30% when the UK took on the Presidency of COP26.   A fter a year-long delay, the UN Climate Summit COP26 in Glasgow has finally taken off. Here are some of today's highlights: Sir David Attenborough set a hopeful tone for COP26. Read more about it and watch his powerful speech. President Erdogan of Turkey, backed out of the summit at the last minute, with no explanation. Ingmar Rentzhog, CEO of We Don't Have Time, asked a question to the Swedish Prime Minister Stefan Löfven about fossil-fuel subsi...

In Pakistan, the annual mean surface temperature has been  consistently rising trend since the beginning of 20th century. The rise in mean temp. has been  of 0.6-1.0°C in arid coastal areas, arid mountains and hyper arid plains, and there has been a 10-15% decrease in both winter and summer rainfall in the coastal belt and hyper arid plains. There has been an 18-32% increase in rainfall in the monsoon zone especially the sub-humid and humid areas. There is a 5% decrease in relative humidity in Baluchistan, 0.5 to 0.7% Increase in solar radiation over the southern half of the country. These  drastic environmental changes are all due to global warming because of our wasteful  usage of natural resources and an increase in  pollutants that are further causing irreversible changes to our mother land. We must adopt steps like other developed nations to reduce and further overcome these types of problems. In America the National Green Week is the largest waste red...

Aquaponic is a combination of two words, Aqua – water and Ponics-Farm in a box. “Aquaponics an environmentally-friendly, natural food growing method to facilitate the cultivation of fish and plants together in a constructed, re-circulating ecosystem utilizing natural bacterial cycles to convert fish wastes to plant nutrients. “So it is also called as recirculation farming. Recirculation farms are a socially responsible farming method and business too; they support the use of renewable energy, recycle water and waste, and provide local food. Aquaponic systems are much more productive and use up to 90 percent less water than conventional gardens. Other advantages include no weeds, fewer pests, and no watering, fertilizing, bending, digging or heavy lifting etc. there are different types of aquaponic like Media Bed - (using a substance such as lave rocks or other medium other than soil for raising plants and bacteria) Raft - (using foam boards with cut outs to place planter pots floati...

The escalating and inelastic demand for energy to fuel economic activities exerts pressures on its limited supply. The skyrocketing prices of petroleum products results in the depletion of non renewable energy sources and the continued investigation and use of renewable and Innovation results. As authenticated research already have proved that the country’s energy demand is expected to increase three fold by 2050, but supply position is not inspiring in anyway The concept of Using human food as ethanol is on full bloom now a days but environmentalists have warned that the bio fuel craze can do as much or more damage to the environment as dirty fossil fuels, much of the Amazon Rainforest is being destroyed every year to produce bio-fuel crops. So now we see the consequences in Africa. A market has been created by British and EU laws requiring the blending of rising amounts of bio fuels into petrol and diesel. So we must Mangrove forests appear as light beam in such darkening sit...
