Carbon is the elemental backbone of life on Earth and, increasingly, of our biggest climate challenge. The sixth element in the periodic table, carbon, forms the structure of every organic molecule - from DNA to proteins to fossil fuels.

Researchers warn that free-living amoebas, microscopic organisms thriving in soil and water, are spreading globally due to climate change and ageing water systems. These pose serious health risks.

Betrayal, anger, humiliation, then a fleeting sense of hope, clouded by overwhelming uncertainty.

The Doomsday Clock's movement serves as a stark warning as it emphasises the urgent need for global leaders to address threats.

Greenland ranks eighth globally in rare earth reserves, hosting two of the world's largest known deposits.

Frizzy hair is India's most common hair woe, after dandruff and hair fall. Here are the health hacks that can help you tackle frizzy hair during seasonal changes.

Nearly half of the world's population could be living under conditions of extreme heat by the middle of this century if current fossil fuel use continues, according to new research from the University of Oxford.

Donald Trump took a dig at global warming fears amid forecasts of a winter storm for two-thirds of America. Taking to Truth Social, Trump questioned the reality of global warming in the wake of 40 US states being expected to be hit by a cold wave.

Scientists have solved a 66-million-year climate mystery, explaining how Earth cooled from a tropical greenhouse to an ice-capped world. New research reveals ocean calcium levels dropped by more than half, reshaping marine chemistry. As calcium declined, oceans locked away more carbon dioxide, lowering atmospheric CO2. The study links deep-Earth processes, ocean evolu...

Since inauguration day, Trump has issued 228 executive orders, implemented hardline immigration crackdowns with hundreds of thousands deported, and imposed broad tariffs affecting global trade.

Our planet has experienced dramatic climate shifts throughout its history, oscillating between freezing "icehouse" periods and warm "greenhouse" states.

Penguins are bringing forward their breeding season at record rates as Antarctica rapidly warms due to climate change, according to research published by a global team of scientists on Tuesday.

Students engage hands-on with topics like climate change, natural resource management, and sustainability through activities such as residential teacher training, student nature camps.

A sub-zero elastocaloric freezer by HKUST achieves -12℃ with zero emissions, offering sustainable, energy-efficient cooling for the global freezing market.

Previous research on deep-sea sediments had suggested that Mars might influence Earth's climate, but the magnitude of this influence had not been clearly established.

NASA’s latest global temperature analysis shows Earth remained extremely warm in 2025, nearly matching 2023 levels. Although cooler than record-setting 2024, last year ranked as the third warmest since 1880. Independent climate agencies worldwide reported similar results, reinforcing evidence of a persistent and long-term global warming trend.

NASA scientists are closely tracking iceberg A-23A as vivid blue meltwater pools spread across its surface, signalling rapid decay. Once covering nearly 4,000 square kilometres, the Antarctic megaberg has shrunk to about 1,180 square kilometres and is fragmenting in warmer South Atlantic waters, offering valuable insight into how rising temperatures accelerate iceberg...

Analysts say that technology and stricter emission controls may help, but the economic and climate feasibility of exploiting Venezuelan oil may remain a thorn in the flesh.

Coffee, the aromatic beloved beverage that fuels millions every morning, is facing an unprecedented challenge. Climate change and global warming are shaking the very roots of coffee plantations worldwide.

The free-living amoebae, also known as brain-eating amoeba, are becoming a growing global public health threat, warned a new study.

The Arctic is warming faster than anywhere on Earth, and new research reveals why. Using aircraft and ground measurements, scientists found that openings in sea ice boost cloud formation while pollution from oil fields alters Arctic chemistry. Together, these processes form powerful feedback loops that trap heat and speed ice loss. The findings highlight how local Arc...

The Aravalli Hills one of the world's oldest mountain ranges and an ecologically sensitive zone that supports biodiversity, recharges groundwater, and regulates climate across northern India is at the centre of a legal and political storm.

Temperatures remained high despite the presence of a La Nina, the occasional natural cooling of Pacific Ocean waters that influences weather worldwide. Researchers cited the continued burning of fossil fuels that send greenhouse gases into atmosphere

Deep in Iraq's southern desert, bulldozers and earthmovers spread layers of moist clay over sand dunes as part of a broader effort to fight increasingly frequent sandstorms.
