Author
CAG

#Cyclones in #India are on the rise because of an increase in the sea-surface temperatures & rising ocean heat content. Previously, it took 2-3 days for a weather system to become a tropical storm, but now it happens in a day due to #ClimateChange.

Global Plastics Treaty is the GPT you should look out for

The acronym ‘GPT’, popularised by ChatGPT, is a widely used term nowadays in the context of an ‘ask me anything’ invitation - an AI algorithm which can clear bar exams, write your resumes, create music, do your homework, etc. But there is another GPT which you ought to know, as terrestrial beings wading your daily lives through a sea of plastic (literally and metaphorically). GPT stands for Global Plastics Treaty, a historic endeavour which aims to create an international legally binding instrument on plastic pollution, including in the marine environment.

Intentionally flawed: planned obsolescence and corporate environmental crime (Part-2)

In the previous blog of this series, we discussed planned obsolescence as a business strategy where products are intentionally designed with a limited lifespan to encourage replacement and increase profits. This practice by companies is considered a corporate environmental crime and can take many forms, including pollution, illegal dumping of hazardous waste, and illegal mining.
