Broad Implications – Harvard Scientists Have Discovered the First Ever Sea Level Fingerprint
The work validates almost a century of sea level science. Sea levels experience a bizarre and counterintuitive phenomenon as ice sheets melt. It functions much…
Climate Change Has Already Impacted Trees’ Size
Researchers have discovered that trees are growing in size as a result of carbon dioxide. It is well known that trees absorb carbon dioxide from…
Scientists Say Refreezing Earth’s Poles Is Feasible and Remarkably Cheap
Earth’s poles are warming several times faster than the global average. In fact, record-smashing heatwaves were reported earlier this year in both the Arctic and…
It’s Only Going To Get Hotter: Scientists Forecast Rising Temperatures and More Frequent Heatwaves
Researchers find that human activities increase the chance of more intense heat waves. The 19th of July was the hottest day ever recorded in the…
Which Animals Will Best Survive Climate Change?
A new study investigates which animals will best survive climate change. As the average global temperature increases, extreme weather events like prolonged droughts and heavy…
Antarctic Glaciers Are Melting Away at the Fastest Rate in 5,500 Years
A study finds that two major glaciers in the West Antarctic Ice Sheet (WAIS) are losing ice at the fastest rate for at least 5,500…
Evidence of Unprecedented Modern Sea-Level Rise Found in Ancient Caves
A geology professor at the University of South Florida has uncovered the influence of the industrial boom on global warming. The early 1900s were a…
30% Less Than Average: Antarctic Sea Ice Levels Lowest Ever Recorded
The ice levels were measured at almost 30% less than the average over the previous ten years. The Antarctic sea ice extent was the lowest…
In Case of Climate Emergency: Deploying Space Bubbles To Block Out the Sun

An Avoidable Disaster: Experts Believe That Climate Change Threatens the Health of Billions
Climate change poses a significant danger to people’s health, yet solutions are within reach Climate change is thought to have a vast range of impacts…
Tropical Trees Are Dying Twice As Fast Due to Climate Change
According to new research, climate change may have caused rainforest trees to die more quickly starting in the 1980s. The results of a long-term international…
Study Shows Siberian Tundra Could Virtually Disappear by Mid-Millennium
Research shows that only ambitious climate protection measures can still save a third of the tundra. Temperatures in the Arctic are climbing rapidly as a…
More Damaging Than Previously Thought: Glaciers Might Not Be Able To Recover From Climate Change
Ice shelves are floating extensions of glaciers. A new study, published in Nature Communications, found that if Greenland’s second-largest ice shelf breaks up, it may…
Super Cyclones Will Be Even More Devastating in the Future
A new study has revealed super cyclones, the most intense form of tropical storms, are likely to have a much more devastating impact on people…
Study Finds That Climate Change Will Negatively Impact Human Sleep Around the World
Most research looking at the impact of climate change on human life has focused on how extreme weather events affect economic and societal health outcomes…
Startling Consequences of Global Warming: Oceans Are Losing Their Memory
Using future projections from the latest generation of Earth System Models, a recent study published in Science Advances found that most of the world’s ocean…
Temperature Records and Chemical “Tracers” Show Deep Ocean Warming As Climate Changes
Much of the “excess heat” stored in the subtropical North Atlantic is in the deep ocean (below 700 meters / 2300 feet), new research suggests….
