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 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.

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...

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...

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'...

Climate-Driven Changes Reduce Agricultural Productivity in Central Europe, Claims New Study
Climate change has significantly impacted Central Europe's farmland, with over 50 percent of highly productive agricultural land already affected. A study combining historical data and climate projections highlights that rising temperatures and dry conditions have shifted fertile zones northward and westward. Regions like Slovakia, Austria and the ...

2024 Marks Earth's Hottest Year Ever, Surpassing Critical 1.5 degree Celsius Warming Limit
In 2024, Earth recorded its hottest year ever, surpassing the critical 1.5 degree Celsius warming threshold for the first time in history. This significant temperature increase has been linked to intensified weather events, rising sea levels, and widespread environmental damage. The year saw an alarming rise in climate-related disasters, with the U...

2024, Hottest Year Ever, Sees World Breach 1.5C Global Warming Target
Scientists sounded the alarm long before last year ended that 2024 would become the hottest year on record and almost certainly the first to surpass the 1.5C limit.

2025 'Likely' To Be Among Top Three Warmest Years: UK Met Office
The UK weather service forecast Thursday that 2025 would likely be among the top three warmest years globally, falling just behind the record-breaking temperatures set in the past months.
