How India's FGD Shift Will Cut Electricity Cost By 25-30 Paise Per Unit
The government's move to ease sulphur emission rules for most coal-fired power plants strikes a delicate balance between costs, climate and compliance and is expected to cut electricity costs by 25-30 paise per unit, officials said on Sunday.

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...

New Study Traces T-Rex’s Origins to Asia and Links Gigantic Size to Climate Shift
A new study led by UCL researchers reveals that Tyrannosaurus rex, one of the most iconic dinosaurs, evolved in North America but descended from ancestors that migrated from Asia over 70 million years ago. The study also connects T. rex's enormous size to global cooling after a major climatic peak 92 million years ago. As other predators died out, ...

Antarctic Ice Melt Weakens Strongest Ocean Current, Disrupting Global Circulation
The Antarctic Circumpolar Current, the planet’s most powerful ocean circulation system, could slow by 20 percent by 2050 due to melting Antarctic ice. Researchers suggest that the influx of fresh, cold water is disrupting convection, altering global ocean density. A weaker current may allow warm water to reach Antarctica, accelerating ice loss an...

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...

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...

Earth's Orbit and Tilt Linked to Ice Age Cycles, Next One Delayed by Climate Change
Scientists have discovered a strong link between Earth's tilt and past ice ages, predicting the next glacial period would have started in 11,000 years. However, rising greenhouse gas emissions are disrupting these natural cycles. The research, based on ocean sediment data, supports the theory that Earth's obliquity governs ice expansion while prece...

Solar System’s Journey Through Orion Complex May Have Altered Earth’s Climate
Scientists have studied the solar system’s passage through the Orion complex, a dense region in space, around 14 million years ago. According to researchers, this movement may have compressed the heliosphere and increased interstellar dust reaching Earth. This dust could have influenced the planet’s climate and left traces in geological records...

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...

Historical Records Unveil 16th Century Transylvania’s Climate Struggles
Centuries-old records from Transylvania offer insight into the extreme climate events of the 1500s. Researchers examined handwritten manuscripts in multiple languages to trace shifts in temperature, droughts, and floods. The study reveals how people endured environmental hardships, including famine and disease. Evidence suggests the Little Ice Age ...
