Like a magnifying glass on an anthill, excessive emissions from burning fossil fuels is melting the Antarctic ice sheet. The faster it liquefies, the more we're faced with the dire prospect of extreme sea level rise. Scientists have debated whether a "tipping point" exists for this ice sheet, or a moment when the effects of this melting would be suddenly both irreversible and catastrophic.

Cutting greenhouse gas emissions isn't enough. We have to start sucking CO2 from the atmosphere and companies like Equatic are leading the charge.

It’s strange that our planet is called Earth, because 70 percent of it isn’t earth. It’s water. The oceans, however, are changing, and a recent post from NASA is an alarming wake up call. “The seas are important drivers of Earth’s global climate,’ NASA wrote. “Yet, increasing...

NASA Visualization Shows How Much Ocean Currents Are Changing

A heavily populated area may experience compounding effects of shaking. A recent study published in Nature Communications reveals that a massive earthquake 2,500 years ago dramatically shifted the course of one of the world’s largest rivers. This previously undocumented seismic event rerouted the main channel of the Ganges River into present-day, densely populated Bangladesh, an area that continues to be at high risk for significant earthquakes.

A crater in Siberia is expanding faster than anticipated due to climate change, scientists have discovered, saying it now poses problems for the surrounding habitat.  

The Batagaika slump, known as the “Gateway to Hell” and located in the freezing Yana Highlands, currently covers about 200 acres of land and can be seen in satellite images captured from space. 

The crater was first detected on images taken in 1991 and has been growing in both width and depth since that time as global warming causes permafrost (frozen soil sediment) to melt.

We've received a strange signal from across the galaxy, and astronomers are struggling to understand what it means.
They know what's emitting the signals. It's a  neutron star named ASKAP J193505.1+214841.0 (ASKAP J1935+2148 for short), located in the plane of the Milky Way, some 15,820 light-years from Earth.



					
			

But the signals themselves are like none we've ever seen before. The star goes through periods of strong pulses, periods of weak pulses, and periods of no pulses at all.
What we don't know, according to a team led by astrophysicist Manisha Caleb of the University of Sydney in Australia, is why. The strange object...

Strange Radio Signal From Deep Space Baffles Scientists

From "runaway" black holes shooting across the cosmos to secret planets in our own backyard, space is overrun with mysterious objects that scientists are clamoring to explain. Here are five of the strangest sights in the universe, as well as their possible origins.

This planet is orbiting a small star approximately 40 light-years away. Two teams of scientists discovered a potentially habitable planet orbiting a small star approximately 40 light-years away. The exoplanet is called Gliese 12b, and its size is a bit smaller than Earth but larger than Venus. Orbiting a cool...

Scientists Have Found an Earth-Sized Planet that’s Potentially Habitable

A collection of new species discovered lurking on the seafloor exemplifies exactly how alien this strange world is. In the Clarion-Clipperton Zone of the Pacific Ocean between Mexico and Hawaii, marine scientists have discovered animals humanity has never seen before: creatures who live very different lives, in the permanent darkness of the abyssopelagic.

Alien-Looking Species Seen For First Time Ever in Ocean's Darkest Depths

Approximately 3 million years ago, during the Pliocene epoch, atmospheric carbon dioxide levels were similar to today. Global temperatures averaged about 2 to 3 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels (a temperature increase we’re on track for in coming decades, unless we significantly reduce global greenhouse gas emissions). And the global mean sea level was upwards of 65 feet higher than present, thanks to ice melt. That’s right: 65 feet higher, an increase that would submerge most of the state of Florida, and nearly all of New York City.

Scientists Have Found a New Climate Tipping Point

Researchers using global robotic telescopes discovered an Earth-sized planet, SPECULOOS-3 b, orbiting an ultra-cool red dwarf within the Milky Way. This planet, tidally locked and likely lacking an atmosphere due to intense radiation, offers new insights into long-lived red dwarfs, which are anticipated to be among the last stars burning in the universe.

Do you know anyone who has dual nature? Such two-faced zodiac signs are friendly but they gossip about others behind their backs. They can lie to you without batting an eyelid. However, detecting a two-faced person isn’t easy for everyone. They often compliment their friends when they achieve a goal or change their wardrobe. But they will make negative remarks about you to someone else. What other traits do two-faced people have?

The biggest ice shelf in Antarctica is slipping — a first-of-its-kind discovery related to our warming world. A study published in Geophysical Research Letters in March showed that the Ross Ice Shelf slips daily, reported Washington University in St. Louis, in a story posted by SciTechDaily. According to Britannica, the ice shelf is the largest in Antarctica at about 182,000 square miles, which is nearly the size of France (around 212,000 square miles), per the CIA's The World Factbook. These slips can precipitate icequakes, which are similar to earthquakes, and fractures.

"Finding even a single animal becomes a search for the proverbial 'needle in a haystack.'" A whale of a tale, indeed. On May 24, scientists were shocked and excited to spot a North Pacific right whale — one of the rarest whale species in the world — off the coast of Marin County, California.

Seas might seem endless but they have waterfalls, rivers, and gigantic blobs for long stretches beneath them which often go undetected. Scientists have found a massive blob in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean which stretches from the tip of Brazil to the Gulf of Guinea, near West Africa, reported Live Science. It is a water mass that has been discovered for the first time in the Atlantic. The researchers published this discovery in the journal, "Geophysical Research Letters" on October 28, 2023.
