Climate Change Global Warming

Raising concern over climate change DGM, IMD, Dr Mrutyunjay Mohapatra said that an ice-melting process in polar regions is causing sea-level rise and coastal areas are facing problems, especially during cyclones.

New research shows that the human body's ability to tolerate heat and humidity is lower than previously thought, with a critical wet-bulb temperature threshold closer to 31 degrees Celsius.

Methane levels, which are 80 times more potent than CO2 in the short term, are rising at an unprecedented rate. Human activities, such as agriculture and fossil fuel extraction, contribute significantly to this surge. Despite global efforts, including the 2021 Global Methane Pledge, methane emissions continue to climb. This trend threatens climate ...

As global warming intensifies, the new travel trend "coolcation" emerges, reflecting a shift towards cooler destinations. With extreme heat impacting southern Europe, northern and central countries are becoming more attractive to tourists.

Snow disappeared completely for the first time ever from Uttarkahand's Om Parvat last week, leaving visitors wondering what was wrong.

This article delves into the specific health challenges they encounter and underscores the urgency of implementing targeted climate adaptation strategies.

Recent studies reveal that this year's sea surface temperatures around the Great Barrier Reef are the highest in over 400 years, driven by human-induced climate change.

In June 2024, 13 young people in Hawaii took on their state government in court and won the right to have greater input in climate policy.

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...

Prime Minister Modi has hailed India's contribution in the world's fight against climate change and global warming, declaring that India is the only G20 nation to have met - before the deadline - climate goals committed at the Paris climate meet.

The World Weather Attribution (WWA) study revealed that the devastating landslides in Wayanad, which resulted in more than 200 fatalities, were heavily influenced by human-induced climate change. On July 30, Wayanad received 140 mm of rainfall in a single day, marking it as the third heaviest one-day rainfall event in the district's history. The st...

Nearly half a billion children are facing twice as many days of extreme heat each year -- or more -- than their grandparents did, the UN said Tuesday, warning of deadly consequences.

The Great Barrier Reef, one of Earth's most significant natural treasures, is currently experiencing its hottest sea surface temperatures in four centuries. According to a study published in Nature, the first quarter of 2024 recorded a temperature rise of 0.19°C above the previous peak. This extreme warming is directly linked to extensive coral bl...

Since April, the world has seen record high ocean temperatures and that's bad news for the plants and animals that call the ocean home.

The prestigious Donnafugata vineyards, which span the Italian island from the slopes of Marsala to the mantle of Mount Etna, began their harvest on July 22, an unprecedented two weeks early.
