How Climate Change And Warming Oceans Led To Kolkata's Historic Downpour
As Kolkata begins to mop up after one of its worst deluges in recent memory, scientists warn that such extreme weather events are no longer anomalies - they are becoming the new normal.

Scientists Warn of Alarming Rise in Marine Heat Waves and Its Impact on Oceans
Reports indicate a sharp rise in marine heat waves, with 2023–2024 experiencing a 240% increase compared to past years. Scientists warn of devastating effects on marine life, including mass die-offs, coral reef degradation, and increased storm intensity. Coastal communities are at risk as extreme weather events linked to warming oceans become mor...

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'...

Climate Change Could Make Earth's Oldest Microorganisms Dominant in Oceans, Study Reveals
New research highlights a significant shift in marine ecosystems due to climate change. Prokaryotes, the oldest and smallest microorganisms on Earth, are expected to become more dominant as ocean temperatures rise. These microorganisms, which include bacteria and archaea, play a crucial role in marine nutrient cycles and food chains. However, their...

Indian Ocean Likely To See Near-Permanent Heatwave: Study
Sounding a warning, a study has revealed that the warming of the Indian Ocean is going to lead to the worsening of severe cyclones and heavy rainfall events and that the world's 3rd-largest water body is moving to a near-permanent heatwave state.

The Arctic Is 'Behaving So Bizarrely'
Last month, temperatures in the high Arctic spiked dramatically, some 36 degrees Fahrenheit above normal - a move that corresponded with record low levels of Arctic sea ice during a time of year when this ice is supposed to be expanding during the freezing polar night.
