Global warming, also known as climate change, refers to the long-term rise in Earth’s average surface temperature due to human activities that release greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun, causing the planet to warm. Human activities responsible for global warming include burning fossil fuels (coal, oil, and gas), deforestation, land use changes, and industrial processes. The burning of fossil fuels accounts for approximately 65% of human-caused greenhouse gas emissions. Global warming is a pressing issue that affects us all. While it may seem daunting, individual actions can play a significant role in mitigating its effects. Here’s a guide to help you make a difference: 1.

Is life possible on a Jupiter moon? NASA goes to investigate

Image
Is there anywhere else in our solar system that could support life? An imposing NASA probe is due to lift off on Monday on a five-and-a-half-year journey to Europa, one of Jupiter’s many moons, to take the first detailed step toward finding out. The Europa Clipper mission will allow the US space agency to uncover new details about the moon, which scientists believe could hold an ocean of liquid water beneath its icy surface. Liftoff is scheduled for “no earlier than” Monday, October 14, from Cape Canaveral in Florida aboard a powerful SpaceX Falcon Heavy rocket, NASA said in a statement. “Europa is one of the most promising places to look for life beyond Earth,” said NASA official Gina DiBraccio at a news conference last month. The mission will not look directly for signs of life but will instead look to answer the question: Does Europa contain the ingredients that would allow life to be present? If it does, another mission would then have to make the journey to try and detect it
