New research supports the concept of the Anthropocene Epoch, a proposed geological time period marked by significant human impact on the Earth. The study analyzed…
A groundbreaking study published in Environmental Research Letters examined the record-breaking June heatwave in North China, which saw temperatures exceed 40°C in Beijing for three…
New research reveals that fire-ice, or frozen methane which is trapped as a solid under our oceans, is at risk of melting due to climate…
Fossil plankton from half a billion years ago. These tiny algae measure much less than a millimetre in size. They evolved their colonial structure to…
European forests, especially in Italy’s mountainous regions, are facing drastic changes due to the climate crisis. New research reveals a likely decrease in suitable habitats…
MIT researchers have discovered that smectite, a clay mineral formed from plate tectonics, can sequester carbon effectively, influencing global climate over millennia. Their findings suggest…
Researchers, including those from the University at Buffalo, have discovered that Greenland’s peripheral glaciers are retreating at an alarming rate, with the 21st-century retreat rate…
Recent research indicates that Antarctic ice shelves are approximately 6% thinner than previously estimated. This discovery, highlighting the need for more accurate data, is critical…
A recent study led by glaciologist Benjamin Wallis has revealed the alarming instability of the Antarctic’s Cadman Glacier, which rapidly lost significant ice due to…
Recent research suggests that volcanic eruptions, causing global cooling, significantly contributed to the dinosaurs’ extinction, challenging the long-held belief that a meteorite was the sole…
The UN’s report on global drought, revealed at COP28, highlights the severe and often overlooked consequences of droughts. It presents alarming data on drought impacts…
Researchers at the University of Miami have discovered that carbon dioxide’s greenhouse effect intensifies as its atmospheric concentration increases, challenging long-standing beliefs about its constant…
A comprehensive study of tree ring data from the San Joaquin Valley over 600 years indicates that the region has faced more extreme climate variations…
The Quelccaya Ice Cap in Peru has dramatically shrunk from 58 to 40 square kilometers between 1988 and 2023 due to climate change. This retreat…
