What Caused Roman Empire's Collapse? Scientists May Finally Have The Answer
Ice age triggered by volcanic ash from three massive eruptions that lowered global temperatures may have caused the Roman Empire's collapse.

Global Temperatures At Historic Highs, Europe Records Hottest March Ever
Global temperatures hovered at historic highs in March, Europe's climate monitor said on Tuesday, prolonging an unprecedented heat streak that has pushed the bounds of scientific explanation.

Global Warming Will Make The Average Person 40% Poorer, Study Warns
A new study reveals global heating's economic impact will be far worse than previously expected, predicting a 40% wealth reduction with 4 degree Celsius warming and a 16% reduction in global GDP at 2 degree Celsius.

4 Degree Celsius Rise In Temperature May Cut Global GDP By 40%: Study
A team of Australian researchers on Tuesday said that 4-degree Celsius rise in global temperatures would cut world GDP by around 40 per cent by 2100 - a sharp increase from previous estimates of around 11 per cent.

As Glaciers Melt, Risk Of Catastrophic Flash Floods Rises For Millions
In mountain ranges around the world, glaciers are melting as global temperatures rise. Europe's Alps and Pyrenees lost 40% of their glacier volume from 2000 to 2023.

Record High Temperatures In 2024 Caused Ice Loss, Rise In Sea Levels: UN
The report said other factors could also have driven global temperature rises last year, including changes in the solar cycle, a massive volcanic eruption and a decrease in cooling aerosols.

'Climate Whiplash' Hitting World's Cities Amid Rising Temperatures: Study
The weather in some of the world's most densely populated cities is swinging from droughts to floods and back again as rising temperatures play havoc with the global water cycle, a study commissioned by the charity WaterAid showed on Wednesday.

Cooling La Nina Expected To Be "Short-Lived": UN
The cooling weather phenomenon La Nina that emerged late last year is weak and likely to be brief, the UN said Thursday, dashing hopes it could help rein in soaring global temperatures.

Global Sea Ice Cover At Record Low In February Amid Persistent Hot Streak
In February, temperatures spiked up to 11 degrees Celsius above average near the North Pole as the world continued its persistent heat streak, said Europe's climate monitor.

NASA Tests Advanced Infrared Technology to Improve Wildfire Monitoring
NASA tested its Compact Fire Infrared Radiance Spectral Tracker (c-FIRST) over California wildfires to improve real-time fire tracking. Managed by NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, the instrument captures high-resolution thermal infrared data, identifying temperature variations across wildfire-affected areas. Experts believe this could help firef...

Greenland's Ice Sheet Approaches Dangerous Tipping Point Amid Rapid Melting
Greenland’s massive ice sheet is losing ice at an accelerating rate, with scientists warning that a global temperature rise of just 2°C could trigger irreversible collapse. The loss of 230 gigatons of ice per year is the estimated threshold for this tipping point. If melting continues at current rates, sea levels could rise by approximately 7 me...

Scientists Discover Declining Global Ocean Evaporation Amid Rising Temperatures
Recent research has revealed a decline in global ocean evaporation since 2008, challenging traditional climate models. Despite increasing sea surface temperatures, evaporation rates have decreased across two-thirds of the world's oceans. Scientists attribute this unexpected trend to reduced wind speeds, or "wind stilling," and shifts in atmospheric...

New Superconductors Work at Higher Temperatures, No Pressure Needed
Scientists at Sustech have identified nickelate superconductors capable of conducting electricity without resistance at 45K under normal atmospheric pressure. Their findings could drive advances in superconductivity research, with potential applications in medical imaging and energy efficiency. The study strengthens global efforts to understand unc...

January 2025 Warmest On Record Globally: European Climate Agency
January 2025 was the warmest on record globally, with the average surface temperature 0.79 degrees Celsius above the 1991-2000 January average, the EU-funded Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) reported on Thursday.

Extreme Arctic Warming Sees North Pole Temperatures Rise Above Freezing
A sharp rise in Arctic temperatures saw the North Pole exceed freezing, with readings 20 degree Celsius above normal. Scientists warn of accelerating ice loss and climate change impacts. The event, attributed to a weather system near Iceland, has raised concerns about Arctic amplification, which causes the region to warm nearly four times faster th...
