Introduction to Formula 1 Racing
Formula 1 Racing is recognized as the top-rated global open-wheel racing series that 20 of the best drivers participate every year. The series traditionally has more than 20 races per season, where drivers compete to earn points for the series championship.
This open-wheel racing series is filled with high-speeds, tight corners, and intense strategy. Pit stops take place multiple times per race, where drivers have to decide which type of tires they want to put...

It happens, and hardly anyone notices while it does. Summers from many years ago have been predictably warm – now, one year after the other, they are intense and scorching. Disastrous hurricanes and wildfires that displace thousands were once an occurrence every few years. Now, every hurricane season has those in vulnerable places thinking it might be their last. The profound effects of climate change can be seen in a timeline as short as one human life. And it’s only looking back that makes ...

The urgent nature of climate change means that interest and opportunities in the field of environmental conservation are growing, but so is the competition. This means that people who want to enter this field need to have the right mix of knowledge and experience, even for entry-level positions. There could be dozens of applicants competing for a single job. Passion is important, but so is networking, extracurricular activities, and a coherent career plan.
People who are still in school shoul...

Sustainable fuel, similar to stem cells, seems like the miracle solution for everyone’s transportation problems. Its use and production are growing all over the world. The entire world can run on the use of biofuels.
Types of Biofuels
The two main types of biofuels are bioethanol and biodiesel. These fuels are categorized into first, second, third, and fourth generations. The first generation fuels are derived from crops, and the second generation consists of biomass, such as plant or animal ...

Words are powerful, especially when they come from influential people. When people in positions of power speak, the public listens that much closer to what they have to say and pay more attention to the subject that they’re talking about. For years, Leonardo Di Caprio, a famous Hollywood actor, was one of the sole celebrities who used his popularity to bring attention to climate change and other environmental issues. Using his status to draw attention to this crucial subject matter spurred on...

Pollution is a well-known and commonly talked about topic, especially in politics, and when it’s in reference to places that we can clearly see (such as cities, the sides of highways, or forests), we can gage at how serious the situation is. However, the ocean is expansive and just as mysterious to humanity as space is; after all, eighty percent of the ocean still remains undiscovered. That’s a massive portion of our planet that is threatened by pollution just as much as the other ecosystems ...

Earth is the only planet we have. Sure, scientists are exploring space to find other habitable worlds that humanity can settle on (such as Mars or the Moon), but until then, it’s our job to take care of the planet we call home. That doesn’t necessarily mean that everyone needs to make large donations to organizations working on how to solve climate change—one of the simplest ways to take care of Earth is to make lifestyle changes that are more environmentally friendly. This can be a big chang...

Over the past several years, the weather has been getting more severe. Heat waves, in particular, have made it difficult to be outside comfortably or without air conditioning, and as the Earth’s climate warms, this—along with other extreme weather patterns—is becoming increasingly common. Scientists identify extreme weather patterns by comparing them to what’s considered normal in the region in question, looking at the weather’s historical record to determine what’s abnormal and what’s not. E...

Climate change experts have spent years, if not decades, warning the public about extreme weather potential. The effect of climate change has now become the most obvious in the northernmost parts of the planet. It is important to note first that hot weather near and above the arctic circle happens naturally at times. During the summer, the 24-hours of sunlight introduces a lot of heat to the area, and many regions have on record high temperatures of 80 degrees to 99 degrees. The situation now...

Climate change has affected our daily lives. From rising temperatures to rising ocean levels, the effects of climate change are real. Whether governments or individuals want to accept this premise is a different topic. Recently, research has suggested that in some regions of the world where some food items are common with toxins, the level of toxins may increase. Here’s how climate change is affecting food safety; in particular the foods most affected by climate change.
Cassava:
Cassava is a ...

Climate change remains the most severe problem society faces today. Ice caps are continuing to melt in the arctic. Droughts are becoming more frequent. Floods tend to last longer in Africa and South America, and floods are creeping further into the U.S. If you want to do your part to stop climate change, here are four lifestyle changes you can do.
Eat Less Meat
At present, more than 10 percent of the world’s land surface is responsible for producing crops. The land’s primary use is to feed ca...

According to a new study, the melting of the permafrost is connected closely to the absence of Arctic sea ice. The study is significant because permafrost contains carbon in massive amounts; these will very likely release as the world heats up under the shifts of climate change. When this carbon finds its way into the atmosphere as methane gas and CO2, it will join the other factors contributing to the warming of the globe.
Scientists have found a link between the sea ice located in the Arcti...
