A long time ago, around 252 million years, Earth faced its worst life crisis. The "Great Dying" wiped out nearly 90% of all species. After this disaster, the planet stayed extremely hot for 5 million years. Scientists have been trying to figure out why. Recently, a group of researchers made a big d
The Trump administration has taken down a key federal website that housed important climate science reports. These reports, known as National Climate Assessments, were created to help people understand and prepare for climate change. Without this website, access to these crucial reports has become m
Europe is feeling the heat, and it's not just a one-day thing. The continent is in the middle of its first big heat wave of the summer, and it's breaking records left and right. Barcelona, for example, just had its hottest June ever, with temperatures soaring to an average of 26 degrees Celsius. Tha
People often oppose climate policies even after they are implemented. This resistance can make it harder to tackle climate change effectively. To understand this better, researchers examined 27 climate policies in wealthy countries between 2009 and 2022. They gathered insights from experts and analy
Nepal is making strides in talking about how climate change and sexual health rights are connected. But there's a big issue that's often overlooked: menstrual discrimination. This unfair treatment is tied to power struggles and old-fashioned gender roles. It's a roadblock for fair climate and health
Southern Europe is feeling the heat, quite literally. Countries like Spain, France, Italy, and Greece are experiencing extreme temperatures that have become all too common. Spain saw a record high of 46C, while France had nearly its entire mainland under alert. The heat is not just uncomfortable; it
The U. S. military has decided to stop sharing weather satellite data with scientists and forecasters. This data has been crucial for tracking hurricanes and monitoring sea ice. The decision comes as hurricane season heats up and sea ice hits record lows. For decades, the Navy has been collecting w
Climate change is forcing people to leave their homes. This is a big deal. But how can we make sure these moves are fair and helpful? First, let's talk about consent. People should have a say in whether they move or not. No one should be forced out of their home without their agreement. But getting
The Gulf Stream is a massive ocean current that has been known for centuries. It was first noticed by Spanish sailors in the 1500s. Later, Benjamin Franklin created charts of it in the 1700s. In the 1900s, scientists like Stommel studied it more closely. Today, we use advanced technology to learn ab
Birds in the southwestern United States are changing their molting schedules. This is a big deal because molting is when birds replace their feathers. It's a key part of their yearly cycle. Researchers looked at data from bird banding over 13 years in southeastern Utah. They wanted to see if the ti
