A giant asteroid is credited for killing off the dinosaurs, but it wasn’t the rock alone – the cascading effects of the impact destroyed Earth’s livability for millennia. Now scientists have identified a new factor, in fine silicate dust that hung in t… Continue reading Scientists identify new accomplice in death of the dinosaurs – dust
With a continuing hot streak felt across the Earth, 2023 is now on track to be the warmest year on record. And September was no exception; in fact, it broke existing records by a large margin, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO).Co… Continue reading Monthly temperature for September hits another record high
About 66 million years ago, the reign of the reptiles came to a dramatic end as a huge asteroid slammed into Earth. Scientists have now predicted that mammals will meet their maker in a similar cataclysm in about 250 million years’ time, as the contine… Continue reading Future supercontinent predicted to trigger a mammal Armageddon
