New data reveal that Doomsday Glacier is perilously close to collapse than experts believed. What’s more concerning is that there’s nothing we can do anymore. The glacier had episodes of fast retreat during the previous several centuries, which might be ...
Scientists have discovered that a significant sea-level rise from the melting of the Greenland ice sheet is now unavoidable, even if the fossil fuel burning causing the climate catastrophe were to stop tomorrow somehow. As concerning as that could be, ...
Ceres and the Clean Air Task Force environmental groups have recently issued a report revealing that the top sources of greenhouse gas and methane emissions are four energy companies: Exxon Mobil, ConocoPhillips, Hilcorp, and Occidental Petroleum. The Hill published that ...
In the bigger picture, this experiment can lead people to understand better the Earth’s changing climate and the increasing pace of ice melting throughout our world. However, understanding why ice takes different shapes is a matter of intense curiosity for ...
As per multiple newly disclosed temperature readings, Earth had its sixth warmest year recorded in 2021. According to experts, the unusually warm year is a piece of a lengthy temperature rise trend that is showing signs of speeding up. Last Thursday, ...
The world’s largest glacier, dubbed the “Doomsday Glacier” since its breakdown might set off a sequence of events that will force millions of people to flee their houses and become environmental refugees, is displaying signals of collapse. The Thwaites Glacier ...
Climate change is bad for your health. Rising temperatures, increased droughts, more flooding, rising sea levels, dwindling water supplies—these are all symptoms of a changing climate. The health effects of climate change have been well documented, but less is known ...
The European Union and the United States have announced a joint pledge to slash methane emissions by at least 30 percent by 2030, the latest step in the global fight against climate change. Representatives from seven countries — Argentina, Ghana, ...
A lot of animals feature incredible characteristics and capabilities that we would all like to have. Whether we’re talking about flying, breathing underwater, having more physical strength, or more – humans are incapable of them. According to the BBC, some ...
The concentration of carbon dioxide in Earth’s atmosphere has been increasing dramatically for at least the past 800,000 years. Greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere are at a record high. Researchers at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration announced that ...
As per a new report, a massive reservoir that supplies water to tens of millions of people in the Western US is now facing the worst-case scenario. The Colorado basin is at such low levels that people must reduce their ...
How much can the past inform the future? Can we figure out climate change better by analyzing bits of history? An international team of anthropologists, earth scientists, and geographers discusses a new approach called the archaeology of climate change. They ...
Clouds will increase global warming, and we can’t do pretty much anything about it, researchers warn us. New satellite data of Earth’s cloud cover unveils how clouds are very likely to amplify global heating. A team of scientists at Imperial ...
Deforestation and climate change shaped the Amazon rainforest’s future, turning it into a massive CO2 sink. A large part of the forest is now emitting more CO2 than it absorbs, as per a new report. The worst thing is that ...
The whole plastics economy is now waiting for a systematic change that can influence the oceans’ future. The current situation Earth faces is already featuring the worst-case scenario: more and more plastics end up in the ocean. So, a new ...
The Third Pole is now experiencing the worst-case scenario after a new study found that glaciers and snow cover started to disappear. Researchers developed a way to model the region’s water cycling and examine it. The results are genuinely intriguing ...
Recent research shows High Mountain Asia’s current situation, and things don’t look that good. As per new findings, the glaciers in the area have been melting a lot quicker in recent years than previously believed. Also, the glacier melt occurred ...
Global warming continues to threaten Earth, new data show. The West is now affected by hotter summer days, while the East Coast is getting overwhelmed by stickier and hotter summer nights. And that’s not all. Researchers reveal that state-by-state average ...
Antarctica’s new heat record has just been unveiled by the United Nations (UN). The record heat was reached last year, in February 2020, at Argentina’s Esperanza research station. Global warming and climate change continue to shape Earth’s future and it ...
Probably it may sound like an SF scenario, but we now have enough proof that Florida had once icebergs. How’s that even possible? A series of strange lines carved on the seafloor off North Carolina’s Outer Banks is the main ...
Earth is currently experiencing the worst-case scenario as global warming threatens to put an end to glaciers and lakes. A recent event, though, has made scientists worry even more. New satellite data show how a massive lake in Antarctica vanished ...
As a new study about the world’s biggest ice sheets emerges, we learn that there might be bright days after all. A team of bold researchers led by the University of Michigan released a new report about a doomsday glacier: ...
New research aims to raise awareness of Asia’s current situation. For instance, more than 1 billion people depend on rivers with their headwaters in the mountain ranges, including the Himalayans and Karakoram. Climate change is currently causing mountain snow to ...
A newly released report of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2) levels confirms we’re facing a climate crisis. The concentrations of CO2 are so high that scientists believe Earth only experienced a similar event million years ago. The new results are unexpected ...
The Arctic is now experiencing the worst-case scenario after new research highlights the danger the sea ice is currently facing. According to a team of UCL researchers, the sea ice in the coastal regions of the Arctic is thinning faster ...
