New Study Shows Antarctic Waters Unleashed Ancient Carbon at the Ice Age’s End
New research shows that shifting Antarctic circulation after the last Ice Age released ancient deep-ocean carbon into the atmosphere. Using Southern Ocean sediment cores, scientists traced how expanding Antarctic Bottom Water mixed long-isolated, carbon-rich waters upward. The findings reveal a major but underappreciated driver of early Holocene wa...

Scientists Warn Southern Ocean Could ‘Burp’ Stored Heat, Delaying Global Cooling for 100 Years
New modelling suggests the Southern Ocean could one day release the vast heat it has stored from greenhouse gas pollution. If CO₂ levels were pushed to net-negative, deep convection may trigger a sudden “thermal burp” that warms the planet for decades. Though idealised, the study shows how Antarctica’s surrounding seas could shape long-term...

Mountains Experience Warming 50% Faster Than Global Average: Study
Warming at high elevations in mountains, including the Himalayas, could be about 50 per cent faster than the global average since 1950, which can have potentially devastating consequences for over a billion people depending on the regions.

World On Track To Add 57 Superhot Days A Year By 2100: Study
The study defines superhot days for each location as days that are warmer than 90% of the comparable dates between 1991 and 2020.

Antarctica Sees Similar Climate Change Effects As Greenland: Study
The planet's warming climate is having effects in Antarctica that increasingly resemble those observed in the Arctic, meaning global sea levels could rise faster that previously predicted, Danish researchers warned.

Are You A Nervous Flyer? Turbulence In Planes Set To Worsen, Study Warns
Planes are more likely to encounter severe turbulence when they fly through the jet stream, the study warned.

'Silent Killer': The Science Of Tracing Climate Deaths In Heatwaves
A heatwave scorching Europe had barely subsided in early July when scientists published estimates that 2,300 people may have died across a dozen major cities during the extreme, climate-fuelled episode.

World's Biggest Polluter? It's The US Military, Says Shocking Study
The study reveals that the US military is the single largest institutional emitter of greenhouse gases in the world. Researchers suggest that reducing military spending could significantly lower energy use and help combat climate change.

Global Warming Clouds Changes Are Making Earth More Even Hotter: Study
At any given time, about two-thirds of Earth's surface is covered by clouds. Overall, they make the planet much cooler than it would be without them.

Rise In Greenhouse Gas Release Causing More Extreme Weather, Scientists Warn
Humans are on track to release so much greenhouse gas in less than three years that a key threshold for limiting global warming will be nearly unavoidable, according to a study to be released Thursday.

Emperor Penguin Population Declining At Alarming Rate In Antarctica: Study
Emperor penguin populations in Antarctica have shrunk by almost a quarter as global warming transforms their icy habitat, according to new research on Tuesday that warned the losses were far worse than previously imagined.

Climate Change Added Extra Month Of Extreme Heat For Half The World: Study
The findings underscore how the continued burning of fossil fuels is harming health and well-being on every continent, with the effects especially under-recognized in developing countries.

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.

Global Warming Could Be Making Cancer In Women More Common And Deadly: Study
Global warming could be making cancer in women more common and deadly, according to a study conducted in the Middle East and North Africa.

Major Ice Sheets May Already Be Past The Point Of No Return: Study
The Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets are melting fast, and the process may be impossible to stop, a new study has warned.
