Delhi Was Most Polluted City In 2024-25, Patna Close Second: Study
Delhi was the most polluted city during 2024-25, recording the highest annual PM2.5 levels and extended periods of "severe" air quality in winter while Patna was the second-most polluted city, according to a new analysis by Climate Trends.

What Happens If Moon Disappears? Scientists Say Earth's Closest Neighbour Is Slowly Shrinking
Without the Moon, researchers say Earth could experience far more extreme climate shifts, unstable seasons and dramatically weaker tides - fundamentally altering life on the planet.

Yogi Adityanath Says Delhi 'Like A Gas Chamber', Praises UP's Environment
Likening the air quality of the national capital to a 'gas chamber', Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath asserted that people in Uttar Pradesh enjoy a clean environment and are not being suffocated, despite all the developmental work.

Warning Signs On Climate Flashing Bright Red: Top Scientists
From carbon pollution to sea-level rise to global heating, the pace and level of key climate change indicators are all in unchartered territory, more than 60 top scientists warned Thursday.

Fossil Evidence Shows Plants Survived the End-Permian Mass Extinction in China
Fossils discovered in China indicate that the End-Permian mass extinction, which wiped out 80% of life on Earth, may not have been as devastating for plants as previously thought. Researchers found evidence of gymnosperm forests and ferns in rock layers from this period, suggesting that some ecosystems remained intact. This discovery challenges ass...

Scientists Warn of Alarming Rise in Marine Heat Waves and Its Impact on Oceans
Reports indicate a sharp rise in marine heat waves, with 2023–2024 experiencing a 240% increase compared to past years. Scientists warn of devastating effects on marine life, including mass die-offs, coral reef degradation, and increased storm intensity. Coastal communities are at risk as extreme weather events linked to warming oceans become mor...

Seafloor Spreading Slowdown May Have Caused 26–32m Sea Level Drop Over Millions of Years
Between 15 million and 6 million years ago, ocean crust production declined by 35 percent, leading to deeper ocean basins. This geological shift is believed to have caused a sea level drop of 26–32 meters. Research suggests that heat transfer from the mantle to the ocean decreased by 8 percent, potentially altering ocean chemistry. Some studies i...

Scientists Discover Declining Global Ocean Evaporation Amid Rising Temperatures
Recent research has revealed a decline in global ocean evaporation since 2008, challenging traditional climate models. Despite increasing sea surface temperatures, evaporation rates have decreased across two-thirds of the world's oceans. Scientists attribute this unexpected trend to reduced wind speeds, or "wind stilling," and shifts in atmospheric...

New Fossils Suggest Land Life Bounced Back Faster Than Expected After End-Permian Mass Extinction
Fossil findings from the Heshanggou Formation in North China indicate that land ecosystems recovered faster than expected following the end-Permian extinction. While previous estimates suggested a prolonged uninhabitable phase, new research shows riparian zones may have stabilised within a shorter timeframe. Burrowing activity and plant regrowth su...
