Melting glaciers release methane
Geologists studied gas fluxes from groundwater springs uncovered by melting Arctic glaciers. They estimated that these springs release over…
Volcanism warmed past Earth
Geologists dated a global warming event about 180 million years ago. They found it lasted between 169,000 and 417,000 years and was linked…
Rising soil temperatures could stop forests spreading
Researchers found higher soil surface temperatures prevented seedling survival and forest expansion in low-elevation forests.
Global warming could impact bumblebees’ senses
Researchers showed that rising temperatures make it harder for bumblebees to detect their sugary food sources.
How will the melting Greenland Ice Sheet affect ocean currents?
Researchers found the melting Greenland Ice Sheet is releasing tons of icebergs into the North Atlantic Ocean that could further disrupt…
What’s making Earth’s atmosphere drier?
Scientists investigated humidity patterns in tree rings across Europe to test whether recently drier air is natural or caused by global…
Scientists reevaluate global methane emissions
Researchers used high-resolution satellite data to show the amount of methane entering the atmosphere currently surpasses the amount removed…
Is global warming affecting home runs in baseball?
Researchers analyzed more than 200,000 balls hit in Major League Baseball games played between 1962 and 2019. They estimated global warming…
Cyanobacteria can teach us about climate adaptation
