Different parts of America aren't warming up in the same way, according to new findings. While you might assume every place gets hotter as the planet heats up, this isn't always true. Some Southern states have actually stayed cooler than expected over time, creating what scientists call a "warming h
Pesticides are used more in Brazil than anywhere else, and this can hurt nature and the economy. One big problem is spray drift – tiny droplets that fly off the target area. Weather can make this worse. Scientists looked at temperature, humidity and wind from weather stations all over Brazil to fi
A group of about 65 people who call themselves “leading UK scientists” sent a letter asking the government to stop drilling for oil and gas in the North Sea. They say that the seas are almost empty, that more drilling would hurt people’s lives and that renewables already exist. The letter was
Scientists say a very powerful El Niño might hit this year, possibly the most intense in ten years. NOAA reports a one‑in‑four chance of an exceptionally strong event and a fifty‑percent chance of a strong one, with sea surface temperatures rising at least 1. 5 °C above normal. El Niño is a natura
The world faces long‑term wars, wild weather and shrinking budgets. When schools are shut in these times, the damage goes far beyond classrooms. Families may send children to work or pull girls out early; lost learning turns into a skills gap, then unemployment, and eventually social unrest. Beca
When people swap the bustling, humid streets of New York for the sunny, dry vibes of California, their expensive wood and leather furniture faces an unexpected enemy: the climate difference. Most folks worry about scratches or dings during the move, but the real danger comes from invisible changes.
Scientists have been studying how extreme temperatures impact urgent healthcare needs. Their findings suggest that while both extreme heat and cold can harm health, their effects aren't equal. The research looks at how often people end up in emergency rooms or need urgent care during these temperatu
Ocean temperatures along the equator in the Pacific Ocean are shifting in ways that could change weather patterns across North America. After a prolonged period of cooler-than-average water temperatures known as La Niña, the Pacific is now in a neutral phase where temperatures hover around average.
The continental United States just experienced a March that defied expectations in the worst way. Data shows this past month wasn’t just warm—it was the most unusually hot March in 132 years of tracking. The average temperature hit 50. 85°F, nearly 10 degrees above the usual March norm. For context,
The head of the Environmental Protection Agency recently told a group of climate change doubters to "celebrate" after scrapping a major rule that had shaped federal efforts to fight global warming for over a decade. Speaking at a conference run by a conservative think tank that questions mainstream
