The Science Behind Thermals: How Warm Air Rises And Creates Buoyancy
This effect wins out over warm air rising. The warm air in a thermal will cool as it rises, until it reaches the temperature of the air around it and is no longer buoyant.

Extreme Heat May Raise Risk Of Schizophrenia, Depression: Study
Rising temperatures may not only affect physical health, but could also increase the burden of mental and behavioural disorders (MBD) like schizophrenia and depression by almost 50 per cent by 2050, according to a new study.

What Caused Roman Empire's Collapse? Scientists May Finally Have The Answer
Ice age triggered by volcanic ash from three massive eruptions that lowered global temperatures may have caused the Roman Empire's collapse.

75,000 Snakes Swarm To Narcisse: Inside The World's Largest Snake Gathering
The Narcisse Snake Dens in Manitoba, Canada, are home to the world's largest concentration of snakes, where 75,000 red-sided garter snakes gather annually to escape extreme temperatures in limestone sinkholes.

Global Temperatures At Historic Highs, Europe Records Hottest March Ever
Global temperatures hovered at historic highs in March, Europe's climate monitor said on Tuesday, prolonging an unprecedented heat streak that has pushed the bounds of scientific explanation.

4 Degree Celsius Rise In Temperature May Cut Global GDP By 40%: Study
A team of Australian researchers on Tuesday said that 4-degree Celsius rise in global temperatures would cut world GDP by around 40 per cent by 2100 - a sharp increase from previous estimates of around 11 per cent.

Sandals vs. Boots: Is It Time To Break The Summer Footwear Rules?
As temperatures rise and days grow longer, the age-old summer shoe debate kicks into gear. Let's tread into the world of summer footwear, where fashion rebels, comfort seekers, and trendsetters are redefining the rules, one step at a time.

As Glaciers Melt, Risk Of Catastrophic Flash Floods Rises For Millions
In mountain ranges around the world, glaciers are melting as global temperatures rise. Europe's Alps and Pyrenees lost 40% of their glacier volume from 2000 to 2023.

Record High Temperatures In 2024 Caused Ice Loss, Rise In Sea Levels: UN
The report said other factors could also have driven global temperature rises last year, including changes in the solar cycle, a massive volcanic eruption and a decrease in cooling aerosols.

'Climate Whiplash' Hitting World's Cities Amid Rising Temperatures: Study
The weather in some of the world's most densely populated cities is swinging from droughts to floods and back again as rising temperatures play havoc with the global water cycle, a study commissioned by the charity WaterAid showed on Wednesday.

World’s First Modular Quantum Computer Operates at Room Temperature
A room-temperature quantum computer has been developed by Xanadu, addressing scalability and error correction challenges in the field. Named Aurora, the system uses photonic qubits and connects multiple modules via fibre optics, removing the need for extreme cooling. Published in Nature, the study highlights its potential for large-scale quantum da...

Cooling La Nina Expected To Be "Short-Lived": UN
The cooling weather phenomenon La Nina that emerged late last year is weak and likely to be brief, the UN said Thursday, dashing hopes it could help rein in soaring global temperatures.

Global Sea Ice Cover At Record Low In February Amid Persistent Hot Streak
In February, temperatures spiked up to 11 degrees Celsius above average near the North Pole as the world continued its persistent heat streak, said Europe's climate monitor.

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...
