Ice age triggered by volcanic ash from three massive eruptions that lowered global temperatures may have caused the Roman Empire's collapse.
Scientists warn that every fraction of a degree of global warming increases the intensity and frequency of extreme weather events such as heatwaves, heavy rainfall and droughts.
As the polar vortex fades, temperatures in Northern Europe, portions of Asia, and the eastern United States will be below average. Temperatures for the last week of March were pretty normal across the eastern U.S., but the latest forecasts do predict increased chances of below-normal temperatures for the next week.
Climate change deniers are pushing an AI-generated paper questioning human-induced warming, leading experts to warn against the rise of research that is inherently flawed but marketed as neutral and scrupulously logical.
Developing nations will struggle to meet climate targets without sufficient funding from developed countries and the success of this year's UN climate conference depends on whether the Global North fulfils its climate finance commitments, India has s
Brazilian Chief Raoni Metuktire's 1,600-strong community has a two-pronged approach to defending its ancestral homeland: conducting patrols against intruders and teaching Indigenous youth to resist the temptation of getting rich quick.
A new study reveals global heating's economic impact will be far worse than previously expected, predicting a 40% wealth reduction with 4 degree Celsius warming and a 16% reduction in global GDP at 2 degree Celsius.
A team of Australian researchers on Tuesday said that 4-degree Celsius rise in global temperatures would cut world GDP by around 40 per cent by 2100 - a sharp increase from previous estimates of around 11 per cent.
President Droupadi Murmu on Saturday asked people to adopt a lifestyle which is conscious and sensitive towards the environment so that it is not only protected but also made more vibrant.
The Arctic is heating up, not just in terms of Climate Change, but also in terms of geopolitics. With US President Donald Trump pressing to annex Greenland and Canada, Russia isn't to be left behind.
China's glaciers have shrunk by 26 percent over six decades, with nearly 7,000 small glaciers disappearing. Data from the Chinese Academy of Sciences reveals that glacier area dropped from 59,000 sq km in the 1960s to 46,000 sq km by 2020. Scientists warn that continued ice loss could worsen water shortages. Authorities are trying to slow the process using artificial ...
Out of the 89 mandals, 14 are from Srikakulam district, Vizianagaram (22 mandals), Parvathipuram Manyam (12), Alluri Sitarama Raju and Anakapalli (nine each), Kakinada (seven), East Godavari (eight), Eluru (five) and NTR (three).
China is staring at a water crisis in the mid-to-long term after the latest climate data showed a rapidly depleting glacial count. As many as 7,000 glaciers have disappeared completely, with the pace of glacial retreat accelerating year-on-year.
Over the past 20 years, Greenland’s glaciers have melted enough to expose 1,620 kilometres of new coastline, altering the Arctic’s geography. Satellite data from 2000 to 2020 tracked these changes, showing significant ice loss. The study also identified 35 newly exposed islands, some of which remain unclaimed on existing maps. Scientists warn of environmental cons...
A new study showed that India can avoid severe power shortages, save consumers up to Rs 2.2 lakh crore by doubling the energy efficiency of room air conditioners over next decade.
India is expected to add 130-150 million new room air conditioners (ACs) over the next decade which could increase the country's peak power demand by more than 180 gigawatts by 2035, straining the power system, according to new study.
In mountain ranges around the world, glaciers are melting as global temperatures rise. Europe's Alps and Pyrenees lost 40% of their glacier volume from 2000 to 2023.
Deadly wildfires in South Korea worsened overnight, officials said Tuesday, as dry, windy weather hampers efforts to contain one of the country's worst-ever fire outbreaks.
Brazil is home to 12 per cent of Earth's freshwater reserves, much of it in the Amazon, but is losing natural surface water as climate change and land conversion from forest to farming take their toll, a report said Friday.
Glacial melting can result in nuclear power plant shutdowns, agriculture and water resources being put at risk, and coastal cities being threatened by flooding.
All 19 of the world's glacier regions experienced a net loss of mass in 2024 for the third consecutive year, the United Nations said on Friday, warning that saving the planet's glaciers was now a matter of "survival".
The surface area of the ice on Mount Kenya was just 4.2 percent of the size compared with the first reliable observations in 1900.
