Microplastics Could Be Changing Earth’s Climate, Reveals New Study
A Penn State University study published in Environmental Science & Technology: Air reveals that airborne microplastics may influence the climate by affecting cloud structures and weather patterns. The study found that microplastics act as ice nucleating agents in clouds, potentially altering precipitation. Professor Miriam Freedman highlights the n...

Rainfall Significantly Boosts Ocean Carbon Dioxide Absorption Rates, Claims New Study
A new study led by David Ho highlights that rainfall significantly increases the ocean's carbon dioxide absorption by 5% to 7%, adding up to 140 to 190 million metric tons of CO2 annually. This research identifies mechanisms like turbulence, dilution, and wet deposition as key contributors to enhanced carbon uptake. The findings are crucial for imp...

Ancient Humans Remained in Frigid Central Europe During Last Ice Age, New Study Reveals
A recent study has revealed that some ancient humans did not retreat from Central Europe during the last ice age. Instead, they adapted to the harsh conditions, similar to species like brown bears and wolves. Led by Oxala García-Rodríguez from Bournemouth University, the study utilised genetic data to show how humans thrived in frigid climates, w...

El Nino Drives Record Global Temperatures in 2023, Studies Reveal
New studies suggest the dramatic temperature increase seen in 2023 was largely influenced by the Pacific’s El Niño, which followed several years of cooling La Niña conditions. While researchers have ruled out some contributing factors, questions about this record-breaking year remain, particularly as temperatures exceeded typical El Niño patte...

Advanced Alien Civilisations Could Self-Destruct Through Climate Change, Claims New Study
A recent study by astrophysicists suggests that technologically advanced alien civilizations could self-destruct through climate change within just 1,000 years. The researchers, inspired by human energy use patterns, found that even renewable energy sources contribute to planetary overheating due to inevitable heat loss. The second law of thermodyn...

Extinct Walrus-like Mammal Discovered in Atlantics, Provides New Insights into Marine Evolution
Recent findings have unveiled Ontocetus posti, an extinct walrus-like mammal that lived 2.2 million years ago. Led by Dr. Mathieu Boisville from the University of Tsukuba, this discovery, made from fossils found in Norwich, UK, and Antwerp, Belgium, provides fresh insights into the evolutionary history of walruses. Initially misidentified, the foss...
