Acclaimed climate scientist Professor James Hansen and colleagues recently wrote that global temperature will not fall much below +1.5°C level, instead they will be oscillating near or above that level for the next few years.
In just five years, 930 million cubic meters of crevasses opened up in the Greenland ice sheet, equivalent to adding a crack the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza to the world's second largest ice sheet every few days.
Findings indicate rising microplastic concentrations in human brains and organs, urging deeper investigation into their health effects and distribution.
Scientists have found in lab experiments that microplastics can block blood flow in mice brains, raising concerns about human health impacts.
Iconic Doomsday Clock moves one second closer to midnight as global existential threats rage. Clock factors include nuclear weapons, climate crisis, artificial intelligence, infectious diseases, and conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East.
The team warns that if this trend continues, in only the next 20 years, we will exceed the sea surface temperature rise we've experienced in the last 40 years.
In recent years, the proliferation of conspiracy theories amid escalating climate disasters and their aftermath has become an alarming trend.
The term "pyrocene" suggests a geologic epoch dominated by human-caused fires. Humanity and fire have been reforging the Earth since the end of the last glaciation, about 11,500 years ago.
High summer temperatures caused record melting of the Norwegian archipelago’s glaciers.
A new review of over 200 papers finds 'hydroclimate whiplash' has increased considerably, most likely due to the atmosphere's rising capacity for absorbing and retaining moisture.
The year 2024 was the world’s warmest on record globally, and the first calendar year in which global temperatures exceeded 1.5°C above its pre-industrial levels.
A landmark assessment of the health of nearly 24,000 freshwater species found that just under a quarter are at risk of extinction.
Microplastics are superpervasive - getting into human tissue, ancient rock, and bottled water - but it may come as a shock to discover just how many of these tiny fragments can lurk inside a single tea bag.
A23a originally broke away from Antarctica’s Filchner-Ronne Ice Shelf in 1986 and remained stuck close to the continent for decades. Now A23a is on the move again.
A new study shows that long-term exposure to air pollution contributes to millions of deaths in India. The research emphasizes the need for stricter air quality regulations in the country.
