Pakistan's vulnerability to climate change is undeniable, with the country bearing the brunt of rising global temperatures despite contributing less than 1% to greenhouse gas emissions. The cumulative cost of environmental degradation, melting glaciers, and erratic weather patterns has been estimated at nearly $100 billion over the past
Environmental sustainability
Researchers at Hamad Bin Khalifa University in Doha, Qatar have made significant progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions from the maritime industry by assessing four alternative marine fuels: liquified natural gas (LNG), hydrogen, methanol, and ammonia. The study highlights the potential of polymer bearings in propulsion systems to reduce friction

Congress passed a massive tax and spending cuts package that will curb billions of dollars in spending for clean energy, making it harder for families to afford home solar, energy efficiency, and other green technologies. The bill supports traditional fossil fuels, such as oil, coal, and gas, which contribute to
Climate change
The US Congress has passed a bill that slashes billions of dollars in spending on clean energy technologies, including solar and wind power, and increases costs for households and businesses. The bill also eliminates tax credits for electric vehicle buyers and reduces incentives for renewable energy projects. This move is
