New Research Suggests Mars Experienced Warm and Cold Periods Affecting Liquid Water
New research from Harvard University suggests that Mars experienced alternating warm and cold periods billions of years ago, affecting its climate and ability to sustain liquid water. These fluctuations, which lasted up to 100,000 years, may have influenced the planet’s potential for life. The study highlights the role of hydrogen in trapping hea...

Scientists Come Up With New Hack To Cool Down Warming Planet - By Reducing Atmospheric Vapour
Water vapour is also classified as a greenhouse gas, which is most abundant in the atmosphere, that amplifies the greenhouse effect.

How Heatwaves, Fueled By Climate Change, Affect People
Heatwaves across Asia and beyond have already broken records this year, while the arrival of the El Nino climate phenomenon will mean even more extreme temperatures.

In Breakthrough, 2 Indian Scientists Offer Answers To These Global Issues
In a first, researchers at Cambridge University have developed a system that can potentially resolve two of the biggest environmental challenges faced by the Earth - greenhouse gases and plastic waste - at the same time.

Ten Ways The Planet Could Tip Into "Hothouse Earth"
Even if humanity slashes greenhouse gas emissions in line with Paris climate treaty goals, the planet could overwhelm such efforts and irretrievably tip into a hellish 'hothouse' state, top scientists warned Monday.

New York City At Risk Of Flooding Every 2 Decades: Study
Hurricanes could start flooding New York City's coastline as often as every 20 years due to the effects of climate change on sea-level rise and hurricane activity, scientists said on Monday.

New Technique to Detect Magnetic Fields Inside Stars
Using a technique similar to medical ultrasound, astrophysicists have for the first time developed a way to determine the presence of strong magnetic fields deep inside pulsating giant stars.

Glaciers Melt to Lowest Level on Record: Study
Glaciers worldwide have shrunk to levels not seen in 120 years of record-keeping, with melt-off accelerating in the first decade of the 21st century, according to a study released Monday.

Earth's Capacity to Absorb Carbon Dioxide Has Gone Up: Study
Researchers have found that along with the rise in carbon emissions, the Earth's capacity to absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere has also gone up. But there is no guarantee that it would continue.

Invasive Plants May Accelerate Global Warming
Invasive plants, such as kudzu, can accelerate the greenhouse effect by releasing carbon stored in soil into the atmosphere, researchers, including one of Indian-origin, have found.
