by Daniel Brouse There are several critical issues associated with marine fuel pollution used in international shipping. Shipping pollution is a global problem, spreading air pollution across the world. Historically, marine fuels have contained higher levels of sulfur due to the lower cost of lower-grade fuel oil. However, heavy fuel oil contains, on average, 2700 […]

Earth’s Vital Signs
by Daniel Brouse Human-induced climate change serves as a dynamic and intricate component within an unordered system, guided by chaos theory. This suggests that global warming is undergoing exponential acceleration in a complex manner. The pace at which climate change is accelerating can be described as rapid, as evident in the intensity, duration, and likelihood […]

Pollution And Health: 9 Million Deaths Per Year
The Lancet Commission published a report on October 19, 2017 that outlined the results of pollution and health. The report concluded that 9 million people suffered premature deaths due to pollution in 2015. “Pollution is the largest environmental cause of disease and premature death in the world today. Diseases caused by pollution were responsible for […]

Air Quality and Climate Change
Current models indicate an increase in air quality alerts. The increase risk is not necessarily from an increase in pollution. An on-going research study conducted by InternetU.org suggests a warming climate is likely contributing to reduction in air quality. The frequency of air quality alerts is on the rise in the United States and many […]

Bottom Of The Ocean Trashed
by Daniel Brouse EARTH — How much of the Earth have humans polluted? Scientists sent robots to the bottom of the ocean… deeper than man has ever explored. The findings are disturbing. “We often think deep-sea trenches are remote and pristine, untouched by humans,” says Alan Jamieson, a deep-ocean researcher at the University of Aberdeen, […]
