Japan Launches Final H-2A Rocket with GOSAT-GW Satellite to Monitor Climate and Oceans
Japan concluded the H-2A rocket program with the launch of the GOSAT-GW satellite, dedicated to monitoring greenhouse gases and sea temperatures. The mission strengthens Japan’s long-term commitment to climate research and marks a transition to the more cost-effective H3 launch system. Over its 25-year lifespan, H-2A recorded 49 successes out of ...

How Restoring River Catchments Can Minimise Drought And Flood Risks
As Britains first heatwave of 2025 hits with temperatures climbing above 30C, Yorkshire has joined the northwest in official drought status.

Study Explains How Climate Change May Be Causing Minor Tremors In Alps
A new study links climate change-induced glacier melt in the Alps to a surge in minor earthquakes, warning that seismic risk may rise globally as glaciers continue to shrink.

Ancient Humans Nearly Went Extinct With Only 1,280 People Left, Study Finds
Almost 99 per cent of our human ancestors were lost 900,000 years ago, according to a study.

Global Warming Is Changing Cloud Patterns. That Means More Global Warming
At any given time, about two-thirds of Earths surface is covered by clouds. Overall, they make the planet much cooler than it would be without them.

China’s Dragon Man Skull Found to Belong to Denisovan Lineage
A 146,000-year-old skull discovered in Harbin, China, has been confirmed as Denisovan using ancient DNA and protein analysis. Named “Dragon Man,” the fossil is the most complete Denisovan specimen to date, offering a new understanding of human evolution and Denisovan presence across Ice Age Asia.

World May Exhaust 1.5 Degree Celsius Carbon Budget In 3 Years: Scientists
If the world continues to release carbon dioxide at the current rate, the carbon budget for limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius will be exhausted in just over three years, according to an international group of scientists.

Astronomers Discover "New Kind Of Climate" On Pluto
The astronomers noted that the haze is not just a visual oddity, but something that controls Pluto's climate.

Supernovas May Have Triggered Deadly Ancient Climate Shifts, and They Could Happen Again
New research links nearby supernovas to drastic shifts in Earth’s ancient climate. These cosmic explosions may have eroded the ozone layer, triggered global cooling, and even caused mass extinctions. Tree ring data supports the theory, raising concerns that future stellar events, like the expected Betelgeuse explosion, could again pose serious at...

JWST Reveals Pluto’s Haze Cools Atmosphere, Paints Charon’s Poles Red
Pluto's thin haze of organic particles, confirmed by JWST’s mid-infrared observations, plays a crucial role in both cooling its mesosphere and launching methane into space. This methane escapes Pluto’s gravity, landing on Charon’s poles where radiation transforms it into reddish tholins. The study highlights how Pluto’s haze shapes not only...

Earth’s Oceans Enter Danger Zone Due to Rising Acidification, New Study Warns
A new 2025 study published in Global Change Biology shows Earth’s oceans may have entered a dangerous acidification zone in 2020. As CO₂ emissions increase, marine ecosystems are degrading, threatening biodiversity, food security, and coastal economies. Scientists call it a ticking time bomb for the environment and society.

New Island Forms in Caspian Sea as Water Levels Drop, Russian Scientists Confirm
Russian scientists have verified the existence of a new island in the northern Caspian Sea, first spotted via satellite in late 2024. Located 30 km from Maly Zhemchuzhny Island, the islet appeared as sea levels reached historic lows due to climate change and tectonic shifts. Although researchers couldn’t land due to shallow water, drone images ...

Russian Scientists Find New Island In Caspian Sea But Couldn't Land On It, Here's Why
The island appeared because of a fall in the water level of the sea due to climate change.

How Pregnant Women's Exposure To Climate Change May Affect Babies Brains
Climate disasters are known for damaging homes, disrupting power and displacing residents. But even after the lights come back on and people return to their homes, their effects can linger.

Seismic Mystery Solved: NASA’s SWOT Satellite Detects Greenland Mega-Tsunamis
In September 2023, a global seismic mystery puzzled scientists for nine days. New research now confirms it was caused by two mega-tsunamis triggered by landslides in East Greenland. The waves became trapped in a fjord, forming seiches that shook the Earth. Using cutting-edge data from NASA’s SWOT satellite, scientists detected these hidden waves ...
