A jury will determine the outcome of a defamation lawsuit filed by a former climate scientist from Penn State University who was compared to a child molester.

It has been over a decade since two conservative writers compared a prominent climate scientist to a convicted child molester due to his depiction of global warming. Now, a jury is set to determine whether these comments were defamatory. Closing arguments were expected to take place on Wednesday in the lawsuit filed by Michael Mann. […]

The world is ill-equipped to handle climate disasters following the warmest January on record, exposing the severity of the climate crisis.

Scientists Warn World is Ill-Prepared for Increasing Climate Disasters Scientists are sounding the alarm that the world is unprepared for the escalating frequency of climate disasters, as human-driven global heating continues to set new records. From deadly floods in California to devastating fires in Chile, the impacts of climate change are becoming more severe and […]

Scientists are revisiting classification systems due to the impact of climate-enhanced hurricanes on Category 6 storms.

A new study suggests that the current classification system for hurricanes may need to be revised to better reflect the increasing strength and destructiveness of storms caused by climate change. The research, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, questions whether the existing Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale, which ranks hurricanes from 1 […]

A 20-year study reveals that Apex predators are not a simple solution for ecosystem restoration.

A long-term experiment conducted by Colorado State University (CSU) has revealed that the removal of apex predators from an ecosystem can have lasting effects that are not reversed even after their reintroduction. The study, published in Ecological Monographs, challenges the commonly held belief that the reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park restored the ecosystem […]

An Unusual Cooling Pattern Noticed on Glaciers of Mount Everest

Climate scientists have observed a peculiar cooling trend in Himalayan glaciers over the past 15 years. This surprising finding contradicts the overall trend of rising global average temperatures due to climate change. The research, published in the peer-reviewed journal Nature Geoscience, suggests that intensifying winds, known as katabatic winds, are responsible for the cooling trend. […]

As climate change continues, scientists put forth the idea of introducing a new Category 6 to classify hurricanes due to their escalating intensity.

A new research study suggests that a sixth category should be added to the Saffir Simpson hurricane wind scale to account for the increasing intensity of storms caused by climate change. The study, published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, argues that the current scale is inadequate in reflecting the true intensity […]

A recent study suggests that hurricanes have reached such unprecedented levels of strength that a new category is required to accurately classify them.

A new study suggests that hurricanes are becoming so powerful due to the climate crisis that a new category, known as “category 6,” should be added to the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale. Currently, the scale ranges from category 1 to category 5, with category 5 representing the strongest hurricanes with sustained winds of 157mph or more. […]
