ENVIRONMENT & CLIMATEMegafaunal animals like mammoths and saber-toothed cats may have been extinct because of receiving too much moisture as a result of climate change, a new study suggests.
Ice age is a period where the majority of the Earth's water freezes into ice by recurring glacial expansion. An ice age lasts for millions of years and till now earth has experienced 5 major Ice ages.
The Natural Thermostat may have prevented the Earth to be a giant "snowball." During the time of the Ice Age, natural thermostat prevented the Earth to be frozen.
Massive beasts like mammoth, mastodon and saber-toothed tiger suddenly vanished around 10,000 BC together with Clovis people at the end of the last ice age - nobody knows why.
A mummified corpse known as the Iceman, otherwise Oetzi, is giving researchers an insight on stomach infection as well as its possible migration route.
Instead of just clearing the way for construction, archaeologists uncovered thousands of stone tools that are at least 10,000 years old in Redmond, Washington.
Surviving an Ice Age may sound like an easy task for a penguin. However, a new study of how climate change has affected emperor penguins over the last 30,000 years found that only three different populations of penguins survived during the last ice age, and the Ross Sea in Antarctica was likely the refuge for one of the populations.
John Coleman, meteorologist and co-founder of the Weather Channel recently appeared on Fox News to reiterate his belief that man-made climate change is not only not happening, but those who claim the contrary are doing so based on "bad science."
