Ice is melting in unprecedented ways as summer approaches in the Arctic. In recent days, observations have revealed a record-challenging melt event over the Greenland ice sheet, while the extent of ice over the Arctic Ocean has never been this low in mid-June during the age of weather satellites. Greenland saw temperatures soar up to 40 degrees Fahrenheit above normal Wednesday, while open wa
Greenland is experiencing extreme melting, with experts predicting another record year as far as ice loss is concerned. The country lost more than 2 gigatons – or 2 billion tons – of ice in a single day last week. To put that into some kind of perspective, it is the weight equivalent to 340 Giza pyramids, 80,000 Statues of Liberty or 12 million blue whales. The Arctic's melt season is a
It should be one of the main goals in today’s society to reduce plastic consumption and to educate people on the environmental and global changes and problems that we are currently facing. Even though many of us believe that recycling will solve the problem, and continue using plastic, it is actually the complete opposite. In 2013, 254 million tonnes of trash was produced in the U.S. alone, and
“If there are no dogs in Heaven, then when I die I want to go where they went” – is how the famed American actor Will Rogers once described his connection to these tender, selfless animals. And it’s not difficult to relate to that. Yet dogs are not only your best companions and loyal friends, but also, they’re the most vigilant protectors that will do all they can to keep you safe and so
Two kind-hearted construction workers from Estonia, who saved a frozen animal from the river, had the adventure of their lives this Wednesday. Rando Kartsepp, Robin Sillamäe and Erki Väli were all doing dredging work when they noticed what then looked like a dog trapped on the dam, swimming through the icy water of Parnu river. After clearing a path through the ice, they took the animal out of t
As a child, I never liked zoos or circuses because I couldn’t understand what was so fun in watching caged and humiliated animals. Now, as an adult, I believe that animal captivity is wrong to the core since other species have the same rights for life and freedom as we do. There’s been much debate on the animal captivity lately, and it makes sense why – keeping wild creatures in cages i
2018 has passed and we are already settling in 2019, but even as we move forward it’s never a bad time to remind people about the incredible things that happened this past year that have gone unnoticed. Even though there were many groundbreaking events that most of us have already heard about, there were some incredible discoveries made that might have flown under your radar. With this list we h
Remember Blu? The blue macaw from the movie Rio who thought that he was the last of his species? Well, his nightmare has come to life and the blue macaw parrots, who were declared endangered about seven years ago, are now officially extinct in the wild. This bird from Brazil, also known as the Spix's macaw can no longer be seen in the wild, concluded a study done by BirdLife International. The st
Horrific photos have emerged of a brutal slaughter of a pod of whales on a remote Arctic island. The animals are routinely rounded up and butchered in cold blood over the course of a year as part of ‘tradition’. One of the mass culls happens every summer, with thousands of pilot and beaked whales meeting their maker in bays across the Danish-owned Faroe Islands. Sickening images sho
In 2017, there really is no excuse for pet owners to be ignorant of the dangers of leaving an animal in a hot car. And since we love animals around here, we were really happy to hear about a new law in Nevada that will help keep pets safe. Local television news station KSNV is reporting that Nevada state Senate bill 409 passed during its last legislative session. This bill would criminalize t
