Many coastal cities are already prone to flooding, but what if the situation became direr within the next century? This could very well be the case, and it’s all depending on Antarctica. A new study published in Nature recently looked at Antarctica’s ice loss, and discovered that if it continues to melt at the rate …
Many people are aware of the ice melting in some of the world’s coldest climates, but how is Antarctica doing? To find out, NASA recently conducted a study to find out how the ice is holding up at the end of the earth. To conduct their research, the scientists developed software that could process hundreds …
What if we could blanket the planet and shelter it from the Sun? Would it help Earth maintain a cool, comfortable temperature and reduce the impact of global warming? This is what a group of scientists recently wanted to figure out. The theory of geoengineering involves spraying sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere to form clouds. …
What will happen when Greenland’s Petermann glacier finally begins melting at a rapid rate? What about portions of Antarctica? The natural assumption is that sea levels will begin to rise, but now, scientists believe that there are strong variances in how cities will be affected. Researchers Eric Larour, Erik Ivins and Surendra Adhikari recently came …
Carbon dioxide doesn’t have to be a bad thing – in moderate doses – but our planet is simply getting too much of it. Thanks to manmade activities, we now have to think about how carbon dioxide is going to affect everything from wildlife to the longevity of our planet in its entirety. Now, scientists …
If you’ve been enjoying spring weather in your region, you might have forgotten all about climate change. A new study reveals that you’re not alone — many people are experiencing warm, comfortable weather, and it’s due to our shifting climate. However, the conditions aren’t going to last, according to scientists. A piece published in Nature has found …

Have you ever wondered where your pet fish lived before you plopped them in your aquarium? As it turns out, they might’ve come from Hawaii. When the Hawaii Department of Land and Natural Resources recently …
If you’ve taken a look at the smog hovering over cities like Los Angeles and Beijing, you know that greenhouse gas emissions are a real problem. Now, we have the numbers to prove it. Data presented at the World Meteorological Organization showed that carbon dioxide levels were exceeding 400 parts per million in the beginning of …
