Fossil Record

The towering, 11-foot-high behemoth, dubbed "Apex," was excavated just outside present-day Dinosaur, Colorado, in May 2022.

The study suggests these ancient creatures were thriving until the asteroid impact 66 million years ago.

Climate scientist James Hansen foresees this year as a pivotal moment, highlighting humanity's inadequacies in addressing the escalating climate crisis.

Following a year of record heat and drought, this year's UN climate summit will feature a contentious set of issues for countries working to find common ground in tackling climate change.

The high temperature is a result of burning of fossil fuels, which pumped in heat-trapping gases into the atmosphere.

Deep cuts in emissions, mainly from burning fossil fuels, will be needed over the coming years if targets to limit a global rise in temperatures and prevent runaway climate change are to be met, scientists have said.

Plying the subtropical seas that washed the coasts of the archipelago that made up Europe 83 million years ago was one of the largest turtles on record, a reptile the size of a small car - a Mini Cooper to be precise - that braved dangerous waters.

A group of scientists have identified that the fossil records of yunnanozoans, an extinct creature that lived 518 million years ago in the Cambrian Period, are the oldest known stem vertebrates. Stem vertebrates refer to creatures that were vertebrates, i.e. possessing a spinal column, but have now gone extinct though have closely related living ve...

Global CO2 emissions caused mainly by burning fossil fuels are set to rebound in 2021 to pre-Covid levels, with China's share increasing to nearly a third of the total, according to an assessment published Thursday.

Cryptocurrency mining is believed to be detrimental to the environment due to its high power consumption. But not all cryptocurrencies are the same. Find out which virtual currencies affect the environment more than others.

The study by Greenpeace Southeast Asia Analysis and Swiss firm IQAir measured air quality by recording the concentration of poisonous PM2.5 particles, which are less than 2.5 microns in diameter and can cause deadly diseases, including cancer and cardiac problems.

NASA has released a stunning picture of its Mars Rover Perseverance being lowered into the dusty red surface moments before a successful landing. NASA has promised more photos in the next few days and possibly also an audio recording of the descent.

Seeking to become the first nation to end the sale of petrol and diesel cars by 2025, oil-producing Norway exempts fully electric vehicles from taxes imposed on those relying on fossil fuels.

With petrol prices and diesel in India rising almost every single day and reaching new record highs, one would expect auto sales to slow down. In fact, auto sales in May 2018 have been on the increase with the likes of Maruti Suzuki and Toyota both showcasing growth in most segments. Car sales have also recently shown an upward trend due to the fac...

A human followed quite literally in the sloth's footsteps. "Given the arid environment, there is quite a narrow amount of time you can walk on that surface to record your footprint," said Matteo Belvedere, a scientist with Switzerland's Paleontology A16 project who specializes in trackways and was not involved with this research.
