As April drew to a close, scientists confirmed that sea ice in the Bering Sea was at 10 percent of normal levels. This causes 'natural disaster' for Alaskan communities.
The global comprehensive tourism footprint is about four times greater than previous estimates, is growing faster than international trade and is already responsible for almost a tenth of global greenhouse emissions.
Pakistan hit 122.3 degrees Fahrenheit (50.2 C) this week, marking the highest temperature recorded for the month of April - ever. The Pakistan Meteorological Department confirmed the recording.
Artificial rain is set to fall on mountainous plains three times the size of Spain. That’s the plan for China’s latest weather manipulation project.

The Dark Zone is a stripe of fast-melting ice towards the south-west of the ice sheet. This speedy melting is actually bad news for the planet, especially the areas bound to be affected by a sea level rise.
So far, the Antarctic was seen as relatively stable. But a new study suggests that climate change is affecting the polar region on a much larger scale than previously believed.
New UMD study finds that the world's largest desert grew by 10 percent since 1920, due in part to climate change.
Cape Town might have dodged Day Zero, but a new hyper-consciousness of water use looks set to be the new normal — and not just for the drought-hit African city.
