Scientists have identified countries responsible for extreme weather changes. The deadly heatwave has been attributed to man-made climate change and now we know who is behind it. Researchers from the University of Oxford’s Environmental Change Institute (ECI) and CICERO in Oslo, Norway have combined new...

A giant, black wandering bog has suddenly appeared in North Long Lake, Minnesota and no-one knows why. Weighing 1,000 tons bog is roaming the waters of the 6,000-acre lake, smashing a dock and boat lifts in its path. No-one has ever seen a floating bog...

A giant hole almost the size of the state of Maine has re-opened in Antarctica’s winter sea ice cover and scientists don’t know why. The enormous hole is incredibly puzzling because of its odd behavior. The hole, known as a polynya, was discovered about a...

An unusual red aurora was observed in Kyoto, Japan during an extreme magnetic storm that occurred on 17 September 1770. Based on accessible historical documents, researchers have now gathered new evidence that the red aurora extended toward the zenith of Kyoto around midnight at northern...

A 1.5°C increase in global temperatures doesn’t sound like much, but the effects are significant changes to the length, intensity and frequency of heat waves in every part of the world. Scientists have measured temperatures around the globe and discovered that when all the regions...

A mass extinction will take place on our planet one day in the future, but when has not been clear. Now, by analyzing significant changes in the carbon cycle over the last 540 million years, including the five mass extinction events, scientists say they have...

On September 7, 2017, an 8.1-magnitude earthquake struck off the southern coast of Mexico. Soon afterwards mysterious, green lights were seen in the sky. The mysterious lights didn’t immediately have an explanation, but scientists say now the event was a result of Earthquake lights. It...

Researchers have identified a large vortex centered over the Karakoram, a large mountain range spanning the borders of Pakistan, India, and China. Nicknamed the Karakoram Anomaly, this vortex defies climate change. It’s responsible for anomalous cooling. In winter, the vortex affects the temperature over the...

Antarctica remains among the least studied regions on our planet. There is still so much we don’t know about this relatively unexplored continent that holes clues to the past, present and future. Not long ago, researchers reported they have discovered giant landforms as tall as...

Apparently, climate change does not affect all glaciers of Antarctica. This particular region is the western Ross Sea coast, in contrast to the rapidly shrinking glaciers in other parts of Antarctica. In the region of the western Ross Sea coast, the effects of these changes...
