Arctic's Dramatic Changes: Worrying Trends In Snow, Ice, Wildfires And More
The Arctic can feel like a far-off place, disconnected from daily life if you aren't one of the 4 million people who live there. Yet, the changes underway in the Arctic as temperatures rise can profoundly affect lives around the world.

Researchers Points out Rapid Surge in Global Temperature Could be Due to Reduced Planetary Albedo
In a study by the Alfred Wegener Institute, scientists identified a sharp drop in planetary albedo as a primary factor in the 2023 temperature rise. This decline, particularly in low-altitude clouds, has been linked to a 0.23°C increase in global mean temperature. The study highlights that global warming itself may be reducing cloud cover, suggest...

Climate Change Causes Decline in Rice Quality Across East Asia, New Study Suggests
A recent study highlights a decline in rice quality across East Asia due to climate change. Using 35 years of data, researchers found that rising nighttime temperatures significantly reduce the head rice rate (HRR), especially in Japan and China. The study also identifies solar radiation, precipitation changes, and vapor pressure as contributing fa...

California Announces Plan to Protect Joshua Trees from Wildfires and Climate Change Threats
A new plan released by California's Department of Fish and Wildlife outlines strategies to protect Joshua trees from threats including wildfires, human development and climate change. The plan includes land conservation, wildfire management and relocation of trees where necessary. It aims to safeguard the species for the future amid rising temperat...

China Is Reportedly Trying to Protect Its Potatoes From Rising Temperatures and Climate Change Impact
In China, a major potato-producing nation, researchers are racing to develop heat-resistant potato varieties as global warming threatens crop yields. A study led by the International Potato Center (CIP) in Beijing indicates that higher temperatures, predicted by the end of the century, could accelerate tuber growth but lead to reduced harvests.

NASA Satellites Reveal Freshwater Decline as Global Droughts and Warming Persist
NASA’s GRACE satellites have recorded a significant decline in Earth’s freshwater reserves since 2014, revealing a loss of 1,200 cubic kilometres—two and a half times the volume of Lake Erie. This trend, highlighted in the journal Surveys in Geophysics, is attributed to persistent droughts and rising global temperatures, particularly in regio...

India’s Summer Maximum Temperature to See a Rise of 1.5 Degree Celsius by 2043, Claims New Climate Data
A new report highlights the growing climate crisis in India, predicting rising temperatures, increased extreme weather events, and food security threats. By 2057, maximum temperatures may rise by 1.5 degrees Celsius, with variations across regions. Changes in rainfall patterns could impact agriculture and rural livelihoods, particularly in the nort...

2024 Set to Become Hottest Year on Record, Claim EU Scientists
2024 is projected to become the world’s hottest year, surpassing previous temperature records. With global temperatures exceeding 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, the surge is mainly due to human-driven climate change, compounded by the El Niño weather pattern. Scientists warn that without decisive global action, further warming and extreme w...

Is it Safe to Use a Fan in Extreme Heat? Conflicting Guidelines from Experts
With extreme heat on the rise, experts disagree on safe temperature limits for fan use. The CDC advises against using fans over 32.2°C, citing risks in high temperatures. However, WHO sets the threshold at 40°C. Recent studies suggest humidity plays a key role in determining fan effectiveness, with fans aiding cooling in moist conditions. This ha...

Future Supercontinent Pangea Ultima Could Trigger Mass Extinction, Reveals New Study
A University of Bristol study warns that Earth’s future supercontinent, Pangea Ultima, may make the planet uninhabitable for humans and mammals. Due to a combination of rising CO₂ levels, increased solar radiation, and vast land area far from oceanic cooling, the supercontinent could experience widespread extreme temperatures. Though millions o...
