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...

January 2025 Warmest On Record Globally: European Climate Agency
January 2025 was the warmest on record globally, with the average surface temperature 0.79 degrees Celsius above the 1991-2000 January average, the EU-funded Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) reported on Thursday.

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'...

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...

COVID-19 Lockdown Caused Moon’s Temperature to Drop by 8-10 Kelvin, Reveals Indian Study
Indian scientists found that during the COVID-19 lockdown of 2020, lunar temperatures dropped by 8-10 Kelvin. The study, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society: Letters, analysed data from NASA’s Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, comparing six sites on the Moon’s surface between 2017 and 2023. The temperature drop is lin...

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...
