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.

Google Weather in Search Reportedly Testing AI-Powered Summaries In Some Cities
Google Weather in Search is reportedly testing a new artificial intelligence (AI) feature that will show a short text summary of current weather conditions. As per the report, the feature currently shows up for some US cities, and describes local conditions such as wind, probability of rain, any pressure-system build-up, and temperature patterns.

Extreme Glaciers Could Lose Most Of Their Ice If Global Warming Continues: Study
More than twice as much global glacier mass will remain if countries restrict temperature rise to 1.5 degrees Celsius, compared to the warming level of 2.7 degrees Celsius resulting from the current policies, says a new study released.

Greenland's Ice Sheet Approaches Dangerous Tipping Point Amid Rapid Melting
Greenland’s massive ice sheet is losing ice at an accelerating rate, with scientists warning that a global temperature rise of just 2°C could trigger irreversible collapse. The loss of 230 gigatons of ice per year is the estimated threshold for this tipping point. If melting continues at current rates, sea levels could rise by approximately 7 me...

Denmark Strait Cataract: World's Largest Underwater Waterfall Discovered
The Denmark Strait cataract, the world’s largest underwater waterfall, is located between Iceland and Greenland. Plunging 11,500 feet from top to bottom, it plays a key role in the global ocean circulation system. The waterfall forms part of the thermohaline circulation, which helps regulate the Earth's climate. Despite its immense size, it remai...

Future Supercontinent Pangea Ultima Could Trigger Mass Extinction, Reveals New Study
A University of Bristol study warns that Earth’s future supercontinent, Pangea Ultima, may make the planet uninhabitable for humans and mammals. Due to a combination of rising CO₂ levels, increased solar radiation, and vast land area far from oceanic cooling, the supercontinent could experience widespread extreme temperatures. Though millions o...

Western Boundary Currents Affect Local Climate Variability, Claims New Study
A new study from Colorado State University indicates that western boundary currents, such as the Gulf Stream and Kuroshio, have a more significant role in local climate variability than previously thought. By analysing satellite data and sea surface temperature fluctuations, researchers James Larson, David Thompson, and James Hurrell found that the...

New Study Reveals Weaker Atlantic Current Could Mitigate Arctic Warming
Recent research from UC Riverside reveals that a weakening Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) could limit Arctic temperature increases by up to 2 degrees Celsius by the end of the century. While this slowdown may offer some relief, ongoing threats to Arctic wildlife and potential global weather disruptions remain a serious concern. ...

Study Warns Melting Arctic Ice Could Disrupt Ocean Currents in Europe
Scientists from UiT The Arctic University of Norway have issued a stark warning regarding the impact of melting Arctic sea ice on global ocean circulation patterns. Their recent study highlights that significant inflows of freshwater from melting sea ice into the Nordic Seas have historically led to dramatic cooling in northern Europe. By analysing...

Will Hurricanes Become Even Stronger as the Planet Warms?
Hurricanes derive their strength from warm ocean waters, with current theoretical wind speed limits around 200 mph. However, as global temperatures continue to rise due to climate change, experts predict hurricanes could intensify even further. This increase in ocean heat may push the limits, potentially resulting in stronger storms with winds exce...

Great Barrier Reef Faces Hottest Ocean Temperatures in 400 Years, Threatening Coral Survival
The Great Barrier Reef, one of Earth's most significant natural treasures, is currently experiencing its hottest sea surface temperatures in four centuries. According to a study published in Nature, the first quarter of 2024 recorded a temperature rise of 0.19°C above the previous peak. This extreme warming is directly linked to extensive coral bl...
