For nearly 12,000 years since the end of the last Ice Age bowhead whales have enjoyed one of the most stable habitats on the planet. These ancient Arctic giants, known for their immense size, incredible lifespans (they can live over 200 years!), and deep cultural significance to Indigenous communities, have long depended on thick, seasonal sea ice to thrive. But a new study paints a grim picture of their future. A team of researchers, including Nicholas A. Freymueller and Eline D. Lorenzen, published their findings in Ecology and Evolution (2025), revealing that by the end of this century, climate change could disrupt the habitat stability that bowhead whales have depended on for millennia. What the Study Found The research shows that projected 21st century sea ice loss is likely to dramatically reshape the Arctic environment where bowhead whales feed, migrate, and breed. Using climate models and historical data, the scientists concluded that the Arctic is heading toward a ...

SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: MY IDEAL NATION'S HOPE FOR A BETTER FUTURE Nigeria is currently faced with numerous issues that accumulated and leads to continuous backwardness in economic growth; this is a result of climate change, insecurity and gender inequality. The continues uncontrolled exploitation and over dependency on non renewable energy sources( coal, petroleum, and natural gas), Unsustainable agricultural practices, improper waste management practices, deforestation and other unsustainable habits have led to the increased rise of greenhouse gases(Co, Nox, Sox, methane e.t.c) into the atmosphere, such gases are heat trapping-gases capable of trapping excess heat in the atmosphere which cause a rise in the global average temperature and eventually lead to global warming and climate change. The NOAA report shows that the global mean temperature between January and September 2021 was around 1.08 ±0.13 °C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial average. The year is likely ...

  INTRODUCTION  Over the years the environment has been changing from its natural setting, slowly to semi-natural and rapidly to what cannot be mentioned in the context of naturality due to human activities. According to NASA, The planet's average surface temperature has risen about 2.12 degrees Fahrenheit (1.18 degrees Celsius) since the late 19th century, Data from NASA's Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment show Greenland lost an average of 279 billion tons of ice per year between 1993 and 2019, while Antarctica lost about 148 billion tons of ice per year. Since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution, the acidity of surface ocean waters has increased by about 30%. What is the cause of all these rapid changes? Environmental change is a change or disturbance of the environment most often caused by human influences and natural ecological processes. Environmental changes include various factors, such as natural disasters, human interferences, or animal interaction. Envir...
