The Arctic Ocean may have crossed a dangerous tipping point. Scientists say the rapid disappearance of sea ice is triggering a hidden chemical shift that is stripping the ocean of nitrate — a nutrient essential for the tiny plankton that support Arctic…

Scientists have finally cracked the mystery behind one of climate change’s strangest fingerprints: while Earth’s surface heats up, the upper atmosphere is rapidly cooling.…

Humans may have returned to Britain far earlier than scientists once believed — not long after the last ice sheet began retreating. New evidence suggests people were already moving into the British Isles around 15,200 years ago, tracking herds of reindeer…

Researchers are pushing for more aggressive emissions reductions to minimize the threat of concurrent extreme weather events.

A volcanic eruption in the South Pacific cleaned up its own methane pollution, offering a potential mechanism for removing this potent greenhouse gas from the atmosphere.

A colossal underwater volcano in the South Pacific may have revealed a surprising new weapon against climate change. After the 2022 eruption of Hunga Tonga–Hunga Ha’apai, scientists detected enormous amounts of formaldehyde in the atmosphere — a telltale…

Scientists have uncovered strong evidence that a major Atlantic Ocean current system tied to global climate is weakening. The slowdown has been detected across a vast region of the North Atlantic over nearly two decades.…

Scientists have uncovered a hidden Antarctic threat that could accelerate global sea level rise far faster than expected. Deep beneath floating ice shelves, long channels carved into the ice appear to trap warmer ocean water, dramatically speeding up…

A generation that can cite the IPCC's sixth assessment report but cannot name its ward councillor has not yet begun to fight. That, more than the doomscrolling and the despair, is the real measure of where India's climate politics stands

Southern Alaska’s winter finale delivered a spectacular atmospheric display, captured by a NASA satellite. Cold Arctic air flowing over warmer ocean waters created long bands of clouds, swirling vortex patterns, and even a compact polar storm with…

The pioneering Climate TRACE database may be drastically underestimating CO2 emissions from vehicles, according to a new study.

When it comes to reducing atmospheric carbon, new research shows that renewable energy is a more cost-effective investment than direct air capture.

Greenland’s ice sheet is now melting in ways never seen before, with extreme events becoming more frequent, widespread, and intense. Since 1990, meltwater production has skyrocketed, and most record-breaking events have occurred in recent years.…

From Gizmodo RSS Feed: Scientists Identify Another Contributor to Global Warming—and It’s Everywhere

Australia’s famous Twelve Apostles didn’t just erode into existence—they were slowly pushed up from the ocean floor by powerful tectonic forces over millions of years, new research reveals.…

Deep beneath the Southern Ocean, a quiet but alarming shift is underway: warm water is creeping closer to Antarctica, and scientists are now seeing it clearly for the first time.…

For the first time, scientists have watched a subduction zone literally fall apart beneath the ocean floor. Using advanced seismic imaging, they found the Juan de Fuca plate splitting into fragments as it sinks beneath North America.…

New experiments suggest that freezing and thawing on early Earth may have helped primitive cell-like structures grow and evolve. Tiny lipid bubbles behaved very differently depending on their membrane makeup—some fused into larger compartments and…

It was the seventh consecutive year in which the trees flowered earlier than their 20-year average.

Scientists have uncovered a surprising new picture of human origins that challenges the long-held idea of a single ancestral population in Africa.…
