Stay Cool In A Heat Wave Even Without Air Conditioning. Here's How
Evaporative or "swamp" coolers can help in dry heat, but they increase humidity and can make it more difficult to cool down. In humid places, just use a fan.

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 Study Suggests Yellowstone May Help Solve the World’s Helium Crisis
A new geological study reveals that Yellowstone National Park may harbor a valuable source of carbon-free helium, a gas crucial for medical devices, space missions, and quantum technologies. Traditionally extracted alongside fossil fuels, helium is in global shortage and poses environmental concerns when sourced conventionally. Scientists have iden...

Ocean Warming Rate Quadruples Over Four Decades, Accelerating Climate Change
New research highlights a troubling acceleration in ocean warming, with the rate of temperature rise quadrupling since the 1980s. According to a study in Environmental Research Letters, ocean surface temperatures now rise at 0.27°C per decade, up from 0.06°C. This rapid warming, driven by greenhouse gases like CO2 and methane, is worsening Earth'...

Underground Hydrogen Reserves Could Power Earth for 200 Years, Study Finds
Trillions of tons of hydrogen have been discovered beneath Earth's surface, offering a potential clean energy solution. A recent study estimates 6.2 trillion tons of hydrogen in rocks and reservoirs, capable of powering the planet for 200 years. While access and economic viability remain challenges, scientists see immense promise in these natural r...
