MEDICINE & HEALTHA new study recently suggested that exercising in colder weather could burn off more fat than normal, at least in shorter bursts of more strenuous exercises.
Experts hope to find the deepest ice cores drilled from the continent of Antarctica. They aim to gather samples that are as much as 1.5 million years old.
Climate change is not just about the effect of greenhouse gas emissions, but natural events in the climate system as well. European researchers analyze the flow of Arctic sea ice as the possible trigger of the Little Ice Age.
New research which the journal, Nature recently published presents that glacier ice walls are essential for the climate. This is because they prevent the rising temperatures of the ocean, not to mention the melting of the glacier ice.
The recent study produced by scientists from UCL, opposes the convention of the warm little pond theory by saying life could have originated from deep-sea hydrothermal vents.
With the extreme weather conditions, plants and animals are striving to catch up and a new study shows a model that will help predict if an unprecedented change in the weather and an environment could drive an entire species into extinction.
By utilizing the methods of nanotechnology, the researchers transformed golden gold to black gold by changing the size and gaps between gold nanoparticles
A floating device that has been specifically to catch all plastic waste floating in the ocean has been deployed in the Great Pacific. Now, it is out there again in an attempt to clean up what looks like a huge island of plastic garbage swirling between the islands of Hawaii and California.
Constant rain showers has led to flooding that left farms in the Midwest to suffer. Infrastructure damages along with all the crops that had gone to waste -- all these have been the result of devastatingly strong rainfall that led to flooding.
Geothermal energy is seen as one of the most viable alternatives for energy source, but its continued use may trigger earthquakes, make them stronger and more destructible.
On the issue of climate change, the use of natural gas as a form of energy alternative isn’t actually middle ground. It is a climate disaster waiting to happen.
This research discovered that some of these deep waters have warmed nearly 9 degrees Fahrenheit since 2004, twice as much as the fastest warming waters at the surface
Though it was revealed in the study that there was a significant disruption to population, the research highlighted that indigenous people of South America were thriving before and after the middle Holocene
Climate extremes including hot and cold temperature extremes, drought, and heavy precipitation accounted for 18 percent to 43 percent of these interannual variations in crop yield
As the sea defences of East Anglia need to be replaced with something that is more resilient to fight off the adverse effects of global warming. Experts say that the Marsh could be the answer.
Deep-ocean monitoring and real-time accuracy must all be considered in hurricane forecasts in response to the every changing environment due to climate change.
