Ice Age Plot Twist: Greenland Unfazed by Titanic Iceberg Discharges
Massive iceberg discharges during the last ice age had no impact on nearby Greenland, raising new questions about climate dynamics. Heinrich Events, massive iceberg discharges…
Unprecedented Retreat – Once Stable Glacier Now Rapidly Receding at an Alarming Rate
A recent study has revealed that the rising temperatures of the Atlantic Ocean are putting previously stable glaciers at risk. According to a recent study,…
Decade of the Worst: Polar Ice Sheet Melting Shatters Records
The past decade has seen the worst years for polar ice sheet melting, with 2019 being the record year. Ice sheet melting now accounts for…
The “New Normal”: Climate Changing Is Causing a Shift To Flash Droughts
According to recent research conducted by the University of Southampton, flash droughts have become more frequent as a result of human-induced climate change, and this…
A Cost-Effective Solution to Climate Change: Burying Biomass in Dry Landfills
Storing biomass in dry landfills by salting and burying it can economically preserve greenhouse gases for thousands of years. Lowering the worldwide greenhouse gas emissions…
Meltdown Alert: Greenland Ice Sheet Nearing the Point of No Return
Once we emit about 1000 gigatons of carbon, much of the massive ice sheet will melt irreversibly. We’ve emitted 500 gigatons so far. The Greenland…
Hidden Glacier Meltdown: Satellites Miss Underwater Ice Loss in Himalayas
The mass loss of lake-terminating glaciers in the greater Himalayas has been significantly underestimated due to satellite limitations, with major implications for projections of glacier…
Baking Soda Saves the World: New Additive in Concrete Mix Could Slash Carbon Emissions
MIT engineers discover new carbonation pathways for creating more environmentally friendly concrete. Concrete’s carbon footprint could be reduced by 15% if sodium bicarbonate is introduced…
The Himalayas’ Vanishing Act: Underestimated Glacier Loss Unveiled
New research reveals that ice being lost from glaciers that flow into lakes in the Himalayas has been significantly underestimated. This discovery has critical implications…
From Steroids to Climate: Baseball’s Newest Performance Enhancer Is Global Warming
More than 500 home runs since 2010 due to warmer, thinner air caused by global warming. A Dartmouth study found that climate change is impacting…
Preventing Extinction: Predicting the Future to Save Our Wildlife
A new study suggests using conservation data to proactively predict and prevent species from becoming threatened, potentially benefiting up to 20% of land mammals by…
Gone for Good? California’s Carbon-Storing Pine Forests May Not Come Back
Due to lower tree-stand density, it is unlikely that massive infestations fueled by climate change will reoccur. The Sierra Nevada’s Ponderosa pine forests, which were…
Troubled Waters: Record-Breaking Rates of Sea-Level Rise Found Along the U.S. Southeast and Gulf Coasts
Researchers found rates of sea-level rise of about a half an inch per year since 2010 — three times higher than the global average over…
Climate Science Shock: Methane’s Unexpected Cooling Impact Unveiled
Impacts of potent greenhouse gas: a bit lower than previously thought. UC Riverside researchers found that methane not only traps heat in the atmosphere but…
20 Times Quicker – Ice Sheets Can Collapse Far Faster Than Previously Thought Possible
Scientists discover that during periods of global warming, ice sheets can retreat at a pace of up to 600 meters per day, which is 20…
Deep Trouble: New Study Reveals Marine Heat Waves Reach the Ocean Floor
First assessment of bottom marine heat waves opens a window on the deep. The 2013-2016 marine heat wave known as “The Blob” warmed a vast…
Drought Alert: Europe’s Second Warmest Winter Threatens Water, Agriculture, and Energy
Europe has just endured its second warmest winter on record. Much of southern and western Europe has been affected by substantial anomalies of soil moisture…
