Global plastic production in 2024–2025 is roughly 400–445 million tonnes per year and most of that waste is not recycled: about 9% recycled, roughly half goes to landfill globally, and around a quarte...
Available reporting cites a range of estimates for annual plastic entering aquatic systems: United Nations sources and NGOs commonly cite about 11 million tonnes per year into oceans (equivalently “2,...
There is no consensus in mainstream science that a total global “civilizational collapse” will occur by 2050; a range of credible reports project severe impacts—large income losses, mass displacement ...
Recent reporting and peer-reviewed work show AI-driven data centers are already adding materially to energy, water and material demands and could add 24–44 million metric tons of CO2 in the U.S. by 20...
Global CO2 emissions from fossil fuels and cement are projected to hit record highs in 2025 — roughly 38.1 Gt CO2 in some estimates — after rising about 1.1% in 2025 and 0.8% in 2024, according to the...
There is overwhelming agreement among major scientific bodies and scientific literature that recent global warming is real and that human activities — principally greenhouse‑gas emissions from fossil ...
Individual actions can when they target high‑impact behaviors such as reduced aviation, car‑free living, and dietary shifts, but those reductions rarely suffice to meet global climate targets without ...
Yes — artificial intelligence today contributes to environmental damage, principally through rapidly rising energy use, water consumption and hardware waste from data centres and specialised processor...
Antarctica is not governed by a single state or a conventional national government; instead governance is collective, exercised through the Antarctic Treaty System (ATS) by its Parties—most influentia...
Regional climate projections remain indispensable for adaptation and planning but are bounded by three families of uncertainty—scenario (what humans do), model (how the climate system is represented) ...
Climate change is not a short-term, transient problem; it is already producing record-high temperatures, extreme weather and rising risks that are expected to persist and accelerate without deep, rapi...
Climate change is clearly framed as a rapidly escalating, serious global threat by multiple scientific and intergovernmental reports: 2025 is set to be the world’s second- or third-hottest year on rec...
Estimates of plastic entering oceans vary but commonly reported figures cluster around 11 million tonnes per year for the recent baseline; multiple sources and reports cited in 2024–2025 reference rou...
Global warming is intensifying: 2025 is on track to be the second or third warmest year on record and the past 11 years (2015–2025) are the warmest in the 176‑year observational record, with January–A...
Major political milestones since the 1980s include formation of the IPCC in 1988 and early international treaties such as the Montreal Protocol in 1987; governments have oscillated between early recog...
Non: available reporting shows textile collection for reuse and recycling is active and expanding internationally, not halted; multiple firms, projects and market reports forecast growth in textile re...
The phrase "green antidote" is not defined in the provided reporting; available sources do not mention a specific program by that name (not found in current reporting). However, across the supplied do...
Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions—from CO2, methane, nitrous oxide and fluorinated gases—trap extra heat in the Earth system by increasing atmospheric concentrations and changing the planet’s energy bala...
Human activity — chiefly burning fossil fuels and land‑use change — is the dominant driver of recent global warming, with greenhouse gas concentrations and emissions at record levels and human fingerp...
Mainstream scientific reporting and major institutions state that human-caused greenhouse gas emissions — primarily carbon dioxide from burning coal, oil and gas, plus methane — are the principal driv...
