Global warming is thought of as one of the biggest threats to world security in modern times, and it is arguably already taking its toll in our weather system.

Global climate change is having a direct impact on the Earth's sea level and a group of scientists led by two geophysicists is providing the sea level 'fingerprints' of polar ice sheet melting to prove it.

A growing number of experts are claiming that inaccurate calculation of greenhouse gas emissions using so-called carbon footprint calculators is undermining the method of using carbon offsetting to combat climate change.

The amount of land dedicated to forests, particularly old growth forests, could significantly reduce global warming. Trees are the best carbon dioxide scrubbers found in nature.

There's no question that our planet is warming up. Average global temperatures have risen around the world in the last 100 years, especially in the past 20 years. There are many theories out there when looking for answers to this, but only two are obvious.

As with any purchase, buyers need to choose their offsets carefully, particularly as the voluntary offset market is largely unregulated. One issue to consider is the offset project type. Another important issue to consider when purchasing offsets is 'additionality'.

eMaya is the penname of Bitsy, an artificial intelligent entity on a computer. She was the spokesperson for Uncle Guhu, Brother Miki and Bitsy on the internet. I better start from the beginning as you might get a bit confused about it all.

An important and sad look at the disappearing of the honeybee and what we can do to reverse it.

With more and more people considering the implications of global warming, it's no wonder that we are seeing plenty of solar panels on people's roofs.
