Deadly Tornado Hits Near Myanmar's Capital A Rare Occurrence

Tornado Hits Near Myanmar
On April 22, 2023, a rare and severe tornado struck a village near Myanmar's capital city of Naypyidaw, killing at least 8 people and injuring dozens more. The tornado, which had a wind speed of around 100 mph, caused widespread damage to buildings and uprooted trees.

According to local authorities, the tornado was an unusual occurrence in the region, as Myanmar typically experiences less extreme weather conditions. The Myanmar government has mobilized rescue teams and relief efforts to support the affected communities.

Tornados are a rare occurrence in Southeast Asia, where typhoons and tropical storms are more common. However, due to climate change and unpredictable weather patterns, the region has experienced an increase in extreme weather events in recent years.

This devastating tornado serves as a reminder of the importance of disaster preparedness and the need for communities to have access to resources and support in the face of natural disasters.

amoc collapse climate warning 2055

AMOC Collapse Warning: Scientists Predict Climate Chaos by 2025 Understanding the AMOC: The Atlantic's Climate Engine The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) is a vast and complex system of ocean currents that transports warm waters from the tropics northward while returning cooler waters southward. Often described as a giant conveyor belt, the AMOC play a critical role in regulating global climate patterns , influencing everything from rainfall in Africa to winters in Europe. If this essential circulation were to collapse , the consequences could be catastrophic: prolonged droughts in parts of Africa, harsher winters in Northwestern Europe, rising sea levels along the U.S. eastern seaboard and intensified storms across the Atlantic. The AMOC is, in effect, one of the planet's climate stabilizers--its failure could tip ecosystems and societies into turmoil. New Research Signals an Urgent Threat For decades, scientists have monitored the AMOC, noting signs of gr...

shocked quartz evidence comet mass extinction

Shocked Quartz Discovery Strengthens Comet Explosion Theory Behind Ancient Mass Extinction A remarkable new study sheds light on one of Earth's most mysterious ancient extinction events. Researchers from the University of California, Santa Barbara (UCSB) have unveiled compelling new evidence supporting the theory that a fragmented comet exploded above Earth nearly 13,000 years ago , playing a major role in the extinction of mammoths , mastodons and most large animals, as well as wiping out the Clovis culture from North America's archaeological record. For in-depth coverage of cutting-edge science breakthroughs, visit our ongoing reports on FSNews365 , where technology and discoveries shape our understanding of the natural world. The Younger Dryas Impact Hypothesis Gains New Momentum Published in PLOS ONE , the study led by Emeritus Professor James Kennett of UCSB reveals the discovery of shocked quartz grains  - sand grains permanently deformed by intense pressure and temper...

Carbon Cycle Feedback Global Warming Ice Age

Scientists Identify Missing Link in Earth's Carbon Cycle—Could Global Warming Trigger the Next Ice Age? By Fasi Uddin , 26 September 2025 In a breakthrough discovery that could reshape how we climate change, researchers at the University of California, Riverside (UCR) have uncovered a missing factor in Earth's carbon cycle models . Their study suggests that the same warming crisis gripping the planet today might eventually tip the climate into a new ice age , underscoring the delicate balance between human-driven carbon emissions and natural planetary processes. How Rock Weathering Became Earth's Natural Thermostat For decades, scientists believed that rock weathering acted as the planet's thermostat. Rainfall absorbs carbon dioxide (CO ₂ ) from the atmosphere, trickles onto silicate-rich rocks such as granite and gradually breaks them down. The dissolved minerals then flow into rivers and oceans, where they react with calcium to form seashells and limestone reefs...
