The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) has uncovered the coldest temperature ever recorded in the Northern Hemisphere. Based on historical readings from an automatic weather station in Greenland, on December 22, 1991, Klinck, located on the summit… Continue reading 1991 data reveals Northern Hemisphere’s coldest recorded temperature
The Arctic is one place that’s been hit particularly hard by climate change. Now a new study has shown that the Arctic is beginning to transition into an entirely new climate state, leaving its predominantly frozen state behind.Continue ReadingCategory… Continue reading Arctic entering entirely new climate state, concludes new study
What would Earth’s climate naturally be doing if it weren’t for human intervention? Researchers at Northern Arizona University have now analyzed over 12,000 years of climate data, and found that human-induced warming interrupted and reversed a long-ter… Continue reading Human-induced climate change reversed 6,500-year global cooling trend

The fall of the Roman Republic may have been helped along by an unlikely factor – a colossal volcanic eruption that took place on the opposite side of the Earth. The eruption was the largest in the northern hemisphere for the last 2,500 years, and the … Continue reading Massive volcanic eruption may have contributed to rise of Roman Empire
An international team of scientists led by Takeshi Horinouchi of Hokkaido University suggests that an atmospheric equivalent of tidal waves may be responsible for the super-rotation of the atmosphere of Venus. Based on data returned by JAXA’s Akatsuki … Continue reading “Tidal waves” power super-fast rotation of Venus’ atmosphere
The United Nations and the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) have released the Statement on the State of the Global Climate in 2019. This annual report confirms that last year was another record-breaker, continuing a worrying trend that indicates… Continue reading UN annual climate report shows 2019 was another record-breaking year
Time isn’t as constant as we might think. The Earth’s rotation is changing, which affects how many hours are in a day and how many days in a year. Now palaeontologists have managed to precisely measure how long days and years were back in the age of th… Continue reading Dinosaurs saw shorter days and longer years, says fossil shell study
With global temperatures continuing to break records in recent years, it’s important to cast an eye towards the future. While efforts to reduce emissions remain in a political quagmire, time is running out to arrest the slide into catastrophe.
Further compounding the issue are a variety of positive feedback loops …read more

The melting of Antarctic ice sheets is one of the most visceral consequences of climate change, but the full extent of their impact on the cycle remains mostly unknown. Now, researchers from the US and South Korea have run climate simulations… Continue reading Melting icebergs could play significant role in slowing down warming
