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 […]

California Declares State of Emergency as Mudslides and Heavy Rainfall Cause Destruction California has declared a state of emergency as the state experiences severe mudslides and heavy rain. The situation has become dire, with homes and cars being coated in mud, and the government is seeking federal support to deal with the crisis. President Joe […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 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. […]

The California coast is currently experiencing heavy rain from atmospheric rivers, which are essentially rivers in the sky that collect moisture from tropical areas and redistribute the water to higher latitudes. The current El Niño pattern is also contributing to multiple rounds of heavy rain and overall unsettled, rainy weather, according to forecasts. This relentless […]

Caribbean Sea Sponges Indicate Faster Than Expected Global Warming, Study Says A recent study has revealed that Caribbean sea sponges are providing crucial evidence of faster-than-expected global warming. The findings, published in the Financial Times, shed light on the impact of climate change on marine ecosystems. Scientists have long studied sea sponges as they serve […]

According to early data, January marked the ninth consecutive month of record-breaking warmth, highlighting the ongoing trend of climate change. This information sheds light on the urgent need for global action to address the issue. The data, which was recently released, reveals that January 2024 was among the warmest months recorded since records began. This […]
