The heat wave continues.

A team from UNIGE analyzed 56 million-year-old sediments to determine the rise in soil erosion due to global warming, which is associated with significant flooding. Around 56 million years ago, Earth underwent significant and swift climate warming, likely triggered by greenhouse gases emitted from

Speaking at a meeting of Pacific Island leaders in Tonga, Antonio Guterres warned the region was ‘uniquely exposed’.

Data suggests 2024 will likely surpass 2023 as the hottest year ever recorded. The Copernicus Climate Change Service says temperatures are close to topping the 2.7-degree rise that was set by the Paris Agreement. In the last month, heat-related deaths have been reported in Greece, Saudi Arabia, India and the United States. Research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says heat related deaths in the U.S. rose almost 47% from 2021 to 2023.

Forget what you learnt in elementary school geography, Earth apparently doesn’t have seven continents after all.From a young age, we’re taught that the world is made up of Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Oceania, Europe, North America, and South America, and yet, new research suggests that this isn’t, in ...

The Great Barrier Reef is vast and spectacular. But repeated mass coral bleachings, driven by high ocean temperatures, are threatening the survival of coral colonies which are the backbone of the reef.

Bedrock now exposed at the margins of four glaciers in the Andes Mountains has not seen the light of day since over 11,700 years ago.

Climate change doesn’t just mean more extreme weather – it also leads to billions of dollars in lost productivity, tourism, and stresses infrastructure.

"Good for them." China to build massive solar farm as part of multibillion-dollar project: 'I wish the US would be a bit more aggressive' first appeared on The Cool Down.

A new study has found that the Antarctic ice sheet is melting at a greater pace than expected, raising concerns about future sea level rise. Rising temperatures are causing warm water to gush through thick glaciers and ice sheets, which could lead to a tipping point. A tipping point is when a small sequence of events leads to an extreme change in an existing system, causing irreversible damage. British Antarctic Survey scientists found warm ocean water seeping beneath the grounding line, causing more melting than is visible on the surface. It doesn't specify when the tipping point might occur but suggests significant sea level rise, posing a future threat to coastal cities. "Our projections of sea level rise might be significant underestimates… with every small increase in ocean temperature, with every small increase in climate change, we get closer to these tipping points," explained Alex Bradley, an ice dynamic researcher at BAS. The Antarctic ice sheet currently sheds around 150 billion metric tons of ice every year and holds enough water to push the global sea level by 190ft.

There’s a new natural disaster in town. Sea levels have suddenly shot up by 500 meters and giant waves are headed in your direction.Global warming has been progressively melting our ice sheets and glaciers. Over the past 100 years, sea levels have increased by around 24 cm (9.5 in), but a spike this high in sea levels is unprecedented.Would your city be destroyed?
