In the coming days, the eastern half of the United States will experience some of the hottest temperatures of the year. This intense heat is caused by a powerful weather pattern known as a heat dome, which is expected to develop over the weekend. The National Weather Service has issued a level 4-of-4 extreme heat risk alert for tens of millions of people from the Mid...

Khaliajuri Haor, a shallow wetland in Northeast Bangladesh, is facing serious issues. Climate change and human activities are taking a toll on this bowl-shaped wetland. To understand what's going on, a study was conducted to look at fish populations and the threats they face. The study collected data on water quality and fish species every month from July 2020 to Ju...

Weather patterns are changing. This is a fact. The way these changes affect fire danger in Sweden is a bit more complex. For the past seven decades, weather observations have been collected. This data helps scientists understand how fire risks have evolved over time. The data comes from nine weather stations spread across Sweden, from north to south. These stations ...

Climate change is making weather patterns go haywire. This isn't just about hotter summers or colder winters. It's about how these changes mess with our bodies. One big question is how unusual temperatures impact the fats in our blood. This isn't something that's been studied a lot. So, a big study was done to figure out the connection between weird temperatures and ...

In Chicago, a heat dome is bringing a week of intense, humid heat. This isn't just about high temperatures; it's the humidity that makes it dangerous. Daytime highs will reach the low to mid-90s, but with humidity, it will feel like 100 degrees or more. Nights won't offer much relief, staying in the 70s and feeling like 90 degrees.

The world's food supply is in trouble. Climate change is messing with it big time. How much damage it will do is still up for debate. Some experts think farmers will adapt quickly and keep losses small. Others warn that changes will be hard to make and losses will be huge. It's a tough call. A lot of studies use scenarios to guess how climate change will affect farm...

The Horro Guduru Wallaga Zone in Northwestern Ethiopia has been experiencing notable changes in weather patterns. This region, heavily dependent on rain-fed agriculture, has seen significant shifts in rainfall and temperature over the past four decades. The data from seven weather stations reveal some interesting trends. The spring and winter seasons have shown the ...

Climate change is not a new phenomenon. The late 19th century saw significant shifts in atmospheric temperatures. These changes were driven by the rapid increase in carbon dioxide levels. This was due to the burning of fossil fuels. The science behind how CO2 traps heat was already understood in the mid-19th century. However, the tools to detect climate change were n...

The world is warming up, and it's not doing so evenly. By 2050, the tropics will feel the brunt of climate change, while northern regions might even see some benefits. This isn't just about temperature. It's about how global warming affects water, food, weather, and health. These effects, called stressors, are already here and will get worse. The tropics are in for ...
