An international team of over 60 scientists has generated new estimates that increasing temperatures and rapidly melting ice sheets could add 15 inches to sea level by 2100. The pace at which Greenland and Antarctica’s ice sheets could together contribute over a foot of global
Climate change has left all of us worried – the rapidly increasing temperatures, fluctuating rain patterns and the rising sea level have endangered numerous species on the planet. A recent study finds that climate change is affecting water flow in the Hindu Kush Himalayan (HKH)
A recent study has discovered that global warming can make viruses resistant to disinfectants, hence harder to eliminate. Conducted by Swiss scientists, the study found that increasing global temperatures may facilitate diseases caused by viruses that are difficult to eliminate. Enteroviruses – that can cause
Air pollution is present worldwide, irrespective of its severity. From California to Delhi, Kabul to Cairo – every small and large city of the world is suffering from polluted air. While it was believed that emissions from vehicles and fossil fuel combustion are the major
With each passing day, the earth is moving toward its doom. Man’s actions have induced natural calamities that are escalating, endangering the planet’s biodiversity. In a shocking revelation, a group of British scientists has discovered that about 28 trillion tonnes of ice have melted from
Isn’t it ironic, how mankind creates a problem and then races against time to find a solution? Be it plastic pollution, climate change or global warming, all are human-caused, to which mankind has been trying desperately to find a potent solution. According to a recent
The whole world is grappling with climatic crisis that has triggered many disasters across the planet. Be it floods, droughts or wildfires, these calamities uproot many beings from their natural habitat and take many lives. The recent Siberian heat wave has triggered catastrophic wildfires and
With the rapidly changing climatic patterns and global warming, glaciers are melting at a fast pace. A new study has revealed that the blanket of rock debris covering glaciers can offer more protection from climate change, literally slowing the glacier melts. This factor has been
Earth has been a wintry land and a hotbed at different times in the past centuries. However, with time, such climatic patterns have begun to fluctuate more than often. The increasing carbon emissions from human activities, which are raising the global temperature since pre-industrial times,
Global climatic patterns have been changing for a long time now. Various places across the globe have been bearing the brunt of this change through heavy rains, flash-floods, and scorching heat. A recent study by researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), has revealed
