Since 2014, Earth has warmed by 0.36°C per decade, which is twice as fast as before. This accelerated warming could push the planet past critical climate thresholds much sooner than anticipated, ...

A new modeling study suggests that salt left behind on sea ice could have made the planet even brighter and colder as global glaciation began.

Scientists discover that the Earth's magnetic poles can take up to 70,000 years to reverse, much longer than previously ...

Sixty-five per cent of the exploratory dives into the deep have taken place within 200 nautical miles of either the US, Japan ...

Gravity may seem constant, but it actually varies across the planet—and one of the strangest places is Antarctica, where gravity is slightly weaker than expected. Scientists have traced this “gravity ...

Underwater earthquakes in Antarctica can trigger massive phytoplankton blooms, linking deep-sea seismic activity to ocean ...

WASHINGTON (AP) — Heat waves that lead to sudden and damaging drought are spreading across the globe at an accelerating rate, highlighting how climate change-fueled extremes can build dangerously off ...

Our planet plunged into one of the most dramatic climate states in its long history, approximately 720–635 million years ago.

But by 2015, that changed—over the past ten years, the world has been heating at a rate of about 0.35°C per decade. All 10 of the hottest years on record have been since 2015. Recent years have broken ...

The pace of global warming has nearly doubled since 2015, a new study published today in Geophysical Research Letters has found—meaning that we could breach the Paris Agreement’s goal of limiting ...

Ocean temperatures may be quietly protecting the world from a global drought catastrophe. By analyzing more than a century of climate data, researchers discovered that droughts rarely spread across ...

The solar cycle: The Sun reached its solar maximum near the end of 2024, the peak of its energy output in an approximately 11-year cycle, and began declining in 2025. So, while the sun’s output was ...
