Earth's Orbit and Tilt Linked to Ice Age Cycles, Next One Delayed by Climate Change
Scientists have discovered a strong link between Earth's tilt and past ice ages, predicting the next glacial period would have started in 11,000 years. However, rising greenhouse gas emissions are disrupting these natural cycles. The research, based on ocean sediment data, supports the theory that Earth's obliquity governs ice expansion while prece...

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'...

Microbes Uncovered in Amazon Peatlands Could Alter Global Carbon Dynamics
Microscopic organisms found in the tropical peatlands of Peru’s northwestern Amazon are helping regulate the carbon cycle, a key factor in Earth’s climate. These microbes, part of the Bathyarchaeia group, thrive in waterlogged, oxygen-deprived conditions and exhibit unique metabolic behaviours that either store or release carbon. Researchers wa...

Not Just Carbon Dioxide, Other Greenhouse Gases Are Too Warming The Planet
While carbon dioxide (CO2) is the best-known greenhouse gas, several others, including methane and nitrous oxide, are also driving global warming and altering the Earth's climate.

Tonga Eruption: Excess Water Vapour Blasted Into Atmosphere Could Warm Up the Planet for Years, Study Says
The Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai underwater volcano that erupted in the South Pacific in January injected 1,60,900 tonnes of additional water vapour into the stratosphere, according to researchers. The excess water vapour could heat up the planet for several years, a new study reveals.

Climate Change's Harsh Reality Is Making the Weather Worse for People Across Globe as Temperature Rises
Reports of bomb-like blizzards and scorching droughts provide a dreadful image of climate change's potential reality. In recent decades, modern data demonstrate an unnatural global warming trend that has taken control of the Earth's climate. Humans release heat-trapping carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, raising global t...

Man-Made Warming Dates Back Almost 200 Years: Study
Man-made greenhouse gases began to nudge up the Earth's temperatures almost 200 years ago as the Industrial Revolution gathered pace, far earlier than previously thought, scientists said on Wednesday.

May Goes Down As Earth's Hottest On Record: NASA
May's temperatures broke global records yet again, as the northern hemisphere finishes its hottest spring on record, statistics released on Tuesday by NASA showed.

Climate Change Will Impact the Tropics too: Study
Although greenhouse gases cause greater warming at the poles, few places on the earth will be immune to global warming and the tropics too will likely experience associated climate impacts, such as increased storm intensity, says a study.
