Climate models are essential tools for scientists, providing a glimpse into how our climate might change due to human-induced global warming. As global temperatures continue to rise, these models help us predict and prepare for the impacts of an imminent climate crisis. However, recent findings suggest that our trust in...

Climate models underestimate sea ice melt and global warming

Recent research shows that global warming may convert tundras from carbon sinks into sources, intensifying climate change. The study highlights the need for detailed climate models and further investigation into geographic and temporal variations in ecosystem responses. According to a recent study published in Nature, the rising temperatures are altering...

Tundra Turns Traitor: Warming Climate Shifts Carbon Sink To Source

Climate change is making days longer, as the melting of glaciers and polar ice sheets causes water to move closer to the equator, fattening the planet and slowing its rotation, according to a recent study.Research published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences used both observations and reconstructions to track variations of mass at Earth's surface since 1900.In the 20th century, researchers found that between 0.3 milliseconds per century   and 1 millisecond per century were added to the length of a day by climate-induced increases. Since 2000, they found that number accelerated to 1.3 milliseconds per...

Climate change is making days longer, according to new research

Despite facing regional threats like deforestation and wildfires, the world's forests continue to be a powerful weapon in the fight against climate change. A new study reveals these vital ecosystems have consistently absorbed carbon dioxide for the past three decades, even as disruptions chip away at their capacity. The study, based on long-term ground measurements combined with remote sensing data, found that forests take up an average of 3.5 ± 0.4 billion metric tons of carbon per year, which is nearly half of the carbon dioxide emissions from burning fossil fuels between 1990 and 2019.

Forests endure as carbon sink despite regional pressures

Researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution want to dump 6,600 gallons of sodium hydroxide, otherwise known as caustic soda or lye, into the ocean off the coast of Cape Cod in an effort to slow climate change. The unusual plan will likely face significant headwinds, not just from US...

A landmass which was once home to up to half a million people has been discovered off the coast of northern Australia.The now-submerged continental shelf was a vast, habitable landscape for much of the past 65,000 years, covering some 390,000 square kilometres (around 242,300 miles) – an area bigger than New Zealand The scientists who made the landmark find, led by Kasih Norman of Queensland’s Griffith University, said that the “complex landscape” that existed on the Northwest Shelf of Australia was “unlike any landscape found on our continent today”.And yet, the humans who lived there spoke similar languages and created...

The world's oceans are in hot water, and it's not just because of Earth's overheating. The world's oceans are confronting a "triple threat" of extreme heating, oxygen loss, and acidification. As reported by the Guardian, this alarming trend, driven by human activities such as pollution and deforestation, has escalated dramatically in recent decades.

Caitlin Tan wanted to breed her childhood horse, JP, because she’s been “amazing” — the type of animal any equestrian would be lucky to have once in a lifetime. Having access to coveted bloodlines increased the allure. Via the Miller Ranch, she could pair her 18-year-old mare with a stud descendent of Playboy’s Buck Fever.

CALIFORNIA – Starting July 1, landlords will only be allowed to collect one month’s rent for the security deposit on a rental property. Assembly Bill 12, signed into law last October, says regardless of whether the residential property is unfurnished or furnished, only one month’s rent can be charged in addition to any rent for the first month paid on or before initial occupancy.
