The West Antarctic Peninsula is warming quickly, which is causing glaciers to melt and the fast-ice to disappear earlier. This study looked at how this warming affects the underwater conditions in Potter Cove, an Antarctic fjord. Over 30 years, scientists tracked air temperatures and found that warm
Brett Favre, a Green Bay Packers icon, has sparked a discussion about the recent Presidential Medal of Freedom awards. The White House announced that soccer star Lionel Messi and others, including Hillary Clinton and Magic Johnson, would receive the medal. However, Favre raised an eyebrow at this de
Climate change is shaking up water treatment plants, especially in places like Tehran. Scientists are worried about a green algae called chlorophyll-a, which can cause problems in water quality.
