Study Finds Grey Seals Can Track Blood Oxygen to Prevent Drowning
A study has revealed that grey seals can monitor their blood oxygen levels to determine when they need to surface for air. Researchers tested seals in controlled environments, exposing them to different oxygen and carbon dioxide levels. The findings confirmed that higher oxygen led to longer dives, while reduced oxygen shortened them. Surprisingly,...

Atmospheric CO2 Levels Reach 8,00,000 Year-High In 2023: Report
The World Meteorological Organization's (WMO) State of the Climate report said the past 10 years (2015-2024) were the warmest on record, with each of the last eight years setting new highs for ocean heat content.

Solar System’s Journey Through Orion Complex May Have Altered Earth’s Climate
Scientists have studied the solar system’s passage through the Orion complex, a dense region in space, around 14 million years ago. According to researchers, this movement may have compressed the heliosphere and increased interstellar dust reaching Earth. This dust could have influenced the planet’s climate and left traces in geological records...

Antarctica Was Last Ice-Free 34 Million Years Ago: What Triggered This Climate Shift?
Antarctica, which is nearly four times the size of the United States, was not always covered in ice. The last time it was ice-free was 34 million years ago during the Eocene-Oligocene boundary. At that time, global temperatures were higher, and carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere were much higher than today. However, a significant drop in CO2 l...
