Scientists have long feared the release of a potentially catastrophic amount of methane from thawing wetlands in Siberia’s permafrost. However, a recent study has discovered that the recent heatwave in Siberia has contributed to a surge in methane release “potentially in much higher amounts” from
After devastating floods in Western Europe, ravaging wildfires have spread across parts of southern Europe, tearing through the Spanish and Greek countryside. After Southern Turkey, wildfires are raging in Spain, Greece and Italy where thousands of people are fleeing from their homes amid a rise
With the rising global temperatures, the frozen lands are melting at a faster pace than ever before. A study has indicated that the Greenland Ice Sheet is losing ice mass at an alarming rate amid heat and rain. Moreover, enough ice has melted toward the
A heatwave in one of the world’s coldest regions has sparked forest fires and threatened the Siberian city of Yakutsk with a thick blanket of toxic smoke. Siberia has always had a wildfire season, but the past two years have been especially severe. In Siberia,
China experiences severe floods every year, causing death and destruction. However, over the years, the impact of flooding has exacerbated with climate change and rapid urban expansion. Heavy torrential rains in the past couple of days have caused deadly floods in China. A video of
Climate change has resulted in growing concern about how our planet would look like in 2050. By understanding the change over a period, it is possible to make foundational predictions and create estimated growth patterns for the future. Esri has developed a map of the
The more and more we look into the future of the planet, the grimmer it gets. Climate change, human impact and other factors are pushing the planet toward an ultimate crisis. Geneva-based World Meteorological Organization (WMO) recently predicted that extreme weather events and natural disasters
It is no news that changing climatic patterns have been affecting every nook and cranny on the planet. Ice caps are melting, wildfires are devouring forests and natural wonders are being threatened by this phenomenon. Rising sea levels and more dramatic weather events amid climate
In a mass die-off, many marine animals that live on the beaches of Western Canada, including mussels and clams, were found dead. The devastating heatwave that ravaged British Columbia a few days ago has possibly baked over a billion marine animals to death along the
Making a shocking revelation, a study has stated that the ice shelf supporting Pine Island Glacier could collapse within a decade. Unlike other Antarctic glaciers, it is quite susceptible to ocean warming. The Pine Island Glacier is known as “the weak underbelly” of West Antarctica,
