The ocean is losing Oxygen faster than ever before
Scientists from The International Union for the Conservation of Nature have released a report that claims the world's oceans are losing oxygen at an unprecedented rate due to both climate change and an increase in fish farming. Large fish such as sharks and tuna require more oxygen in order to survive and are now at risk.

Pool, Chlorine and COVID-19
"There's nothing about a pool that would eliminate the need for social distancing, avoiding contaminated surfaces, or not breathing air from somebody who's close by," Purdue University's Ernest Blatchley said . Currently, there's no data exploring how common water disinfectants affect the Covid-19 virus specifically. It's possible that the virus may be more sensitive to chlorine and other common water disinfectants than other viruses because it has an envelope structure.

Scientists discover fish migration route 4500 ft below sea level
A recently concluded study from a large number of collaborating groups in universities around the world has photographed evidence of a deep-sea fish migration route that was first theorized to exist when scientists noticed that deep-sea fish populations exhibited seasonal patterns. While the exact route is still unclear, scientists have managed to prove that the migration route exists 4,500 feet below sea level in the Atlantic Ocean.

Global CO2 emissions from the power sector experience the largest drop since 1990
Global Carbon Dioxide emissions from the power sector dropped by 2% last year, making it the largest drop since 1990. This dip occurred due to the reduction in coal usage in Europe and the United States. Although coal usage in China rose by a large amount as the country became responsible for half the world's coal-fired power generation.
