Methane is not only a gas, but also a climate killer. The world’s biggest energy agency warns that methane emissions from fossil fuels must be cut immediately to limit global warming to 1.5 °C. This could save millions of lives, crops and money by reducing ozone pollution and extreme heat. #methane #climatechange #energy https://www.sciencealert.com/worlds-biggest-energy-agency-warns-1-fossil-fuel-must-be-cut-immediately?utm_source=flipboard&utm_content=HariTulsidas%2Fmagazine%2FArchetypes

South Africans are exposed to pesticides that are banned in the EU. A new report reveals that 69% of the pesticides registered in South Africa are not allowed in Europe, due to their harmful effects on human health and the environment. The report calls for stricter regulation and monitoring of pesticide use in the country. #Pesticides #SouthAfrica #DoubleStandards https://www.moneyweb.co.za/news/south-africa/double-standards-south-africans-exposed-to-eu-banned-pesticides/

Some Nigerians are building earthquake-proof homes from plastic bottles, turning trash into a sustainable and affordable housing material. The homes are made by filling plastic bottles with sand and stacking them like bricks, bound by mud and string. The homes are 20 times stronger than regular bricks, bulletproof, and insulated from the heat.

A fossilized skull found in China may belong to a new branch of the human family tree, according to a new study. The skull, which dates back to 300,000 years ago, has features of both Homo sapiens and Denisovans, two different groups of ancient humans. The discovery challenges the current understanding of human evolution and suggests that modern human traits emerged earlier than previously thought.

The world’s largest carbon capture machine is now operating in Iceland. It can remove 4,000 tons of CO2 from the air each year, equivalent to 870 cars. The captured carbon is then injected into basalt rock, where it mineralizes and becomes part of the Earth. #carboncapture #climatechange #Iceland https://www.ted.com/talks/jan_wurzbacher_the_massive_machines_removing_carbon_from_earth_s_atmosphere

Agriculture is a major source of greenhouse gas emissions, but it can also be a part of the solution. Farmers and ranchers in the US are adopting practices that can store carbon in the soil, such as cover crops, no-till, and rotational grazing. These practices can help mitigate climate change, improve soil health, and increase farm profitability. #agriculture #carbon #soil https://apnews.com/article/agriculture-soil-carbon-monitoring-reporting-emissions-legislation-f394f5eebfea8bf9e43f66cd7cafa802
