Climate Change Increases River Flow Volume, More Floods & Droughts Elsewhere

Hotter temperatures means more water is evaporated to the sky. Once the atmosphere releases the heavy load it absorbed, a downpour will occur delivering more flood in a rush and back again. The rushing of water back to the sea will cause water fro the soil to evaporate keaving it parched and dry, drought is in the air.

How the Opah Managed To Hide Its Warm Blood In Ocean Depths

This week scientists discovered the first known warm-blooded fish; except that this fish was already well-known to humans.

Up From the Depths: The First Warm-Blooded Fish

How's the Carbon Stacking Up? NOAA Says CO2 Has Passed Its Mark

The latest human first has chilling consequences for our species, and all others: for the first time since scientists began tracking global carbon dioxide concentrations in our atmosphere, we have surpassed 400 parts per million worldwide.

How Can The Pacific and a ‘Warm Blob’ Be the Cause of California’s Drought?

For several years now it has appeared that the climate in the West has been drastically changing. Naysayers might say that the illusion of “climate change” is all in our heads, but for those who had to ration water this past summer in California, the concept of climate change is certainly no longer a joke. But the conversation may not be entirely full of gloom and doom. In fact, thanks to our beloved Pacific Ocean and that nice coastal breeze that we love so dear, we may just see cooler temperatures after all, but we’re not like to get more rain.
