Key Atlantic current could collapse soon, ‘impacting the entire world for centuries to come,’ leading climate scientists warn
Climate scientists are raising the alarm over a potentially catastrophic event that could reshape the global climate for centuries to come—the collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a vital ocean current system responsible for regulating temperatures and weather patterns across the Northern Hemisphere. According to a recent open letter from 44 of … [Read more...] about Key Atlantic current could collapse soon, ‘impacting the entire world for centuries to come,’ leading climate scientists warn
Scientists looked deep beneath the Doomsday Glacier. What they found spells potential disaster for the planet
Scientists have recently made a chilling discovery deep beneath the Thwaites Glacier in Antarctica, a massive ice formation often dubbed the "Doomsday Glacier." Their findings paint a grim picture of the glacier's accelerating melting rate, raising serious concerns about the potential for catastrophic global sea level rise. The Accelerating Melt The International Thwaites … [Read more...] about Scientists looked deep beneath the Doomsday Glacier. What they found spells potential disaster for the planet
Unprecedented Heatwave: Summer 2023 Shatters 2,000-Year Record
The summer of 2023 was a stark reminder of the escalating climate crisis. New research has revealed that the Northern Hemisphere experienced its hottest summer in over 2,000 years. This unprecedented heatwave, fueled by a combination of global warming and the El Niño phenomenon, has set a new benchmark for extreme weather events. The Unprecedented Heatwave The study, … [Read more...] about Unprecedented Heatwave: Summer 2023 Shatters 2,000-Year Record
