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...

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...

New Algorithm Uses Fiber Optic Cables to Improve Earthquake Detection Globally
Researchers have developed an algorithm that converts fiber optic cables into seismic sensors, improving earthquake detection and early warning systems. The method integrates fiber optic and traditional seismometer data, overcoming challenges in earthquake monitoring. The technology could also help detect seismic activity in volcanoes and glaciers....

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...

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...
