Arctic Ocean Likely to Experience Ice-Free Day by 2027, Study Warns
A study published in Nature Communications predicts the Arctic Ocean could face its first ice-free day as early as 2027, marking a critical environmental milestone. Conducted using 11 climate models and 366 simulations, the research highlights the urgent need for emission reductions. The loss of sea ice in the Arctic exacerbates global warming thro...

NASA's Twin Mini Satellites Captures Far-Infrared Radiation from Polar Regions
NASA’s PREFIRE mission, launched in 2024, is utilizing CubeSats to capture groundbreaking data on far-infrared radiation emitted from polar regions. These measurements, which track heat escaping from the Arctic and Antarctic, provide critical insights into Earth’s energy balance, a key component in understanding climate change. Despite encounte...

Will Hurricanes Become Even Stronger as the Planet Warms?
Hurricanes derive their strength from warm ocean waters, with current theoretical wind speed limits around 200 mph. However, as global temperatures continue to rise due to climate change, experts predict hurricanes could intensify even further. This increase in ocean heat may push the limits, potentially resulting in stronger storms with winds exce...
