A new study published in the journal Nature reveals the alarming impact of rising temperatures on extreme rainfall events in mountainous regions. The research found that for every degree Celsius of warming, the density of major downpours above 2,000 meters increases by 15%. Additionally, every additional 1,000 meters of altitude adds another 1% of rainfall.  […]

Climate change has posed serious challenges in various parts of the world, including the Arctic region. In a recent study published in the journal Nature Geoscience, scientists have uncovered a new phenomenon resulting from global warming: shrinking glaciers in the Arctic are revealing a new source of methane emissions. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) announced that the ocean warming known as El Nino could extend until 2024. It was informed that the El Nino phenomenon happens every two to seven years and is defined by warmer-than-average sea surface temperatures in the Central and Eastern Pacific Oceans around the equator. Michelle L’Heureux, scientist

Independent data shows that the Earth’s average surface temperature has warmed by about 1.1°C since the Industrial Revolution in 1850. This global warming is becoming a clear sign that human emissions of greenhouse gasses are changing the planet’s climate. Besides from human activities affecting the climate, large amounts of energy are transferred naturally within the

Deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon fell 33.6% in the first six months of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s term compared to the same period in 2022, the government said. On Thursday, June 7, 2023, the Brazilian government reported a 33.6% decrease, based on satellite images taken by the Space Research Institute. From January to

Man-made climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing us today, but uncertainty in the exact magnitude of global change hampers effective policy responses. New research led by the University of East Anglia (UEA) reduces uncertainty in future climate change linked to the stratosphere, with important implications for life on Earth. About The Stratosphere

Coral lives in a symbiotic relationship with photosynthetic algae, which dwell in its tissues and supply critical sustenance. However, high temperatures and other pressures can cause algae to become hazardous. Because the coral’s clear tissue and white calcium carbonate skeleton are revealed, the algae may die or be ejected by the coral, a process known

Scientists of George Mason University located in Virginia predicted that almost half of Earth will go through a new climate zone because of climate change. The journal of study was published under the title “CMIP6 Earth System Models Project Greater Acceleration of Climate Zone Change Due To Stronger Warming Rates”. The result of the study

Extreme heat is defined from a baseline of average temperatures at a single location, which vary widely around the world. Temperatures of 25 degrees Celsius (77 degrees Fahrenheit) could be record-breaking in parts of Canada in the spring, but may be below the average for the same period in the Middle East. Gasses such as

This week, delegates from 175 shipping nations will gather in London to discuss the schedule for fully decarbonizing their industry. The meeting will be under the control of the UN’s International Maritime Organisation (IMO). According to observers, the London meeting may be crucial for combating climate change since the Paris Agreement. The shipping industry is
