Climate change and their impact on our planet

Southern Ocean 'Burp' May Reverse Global Cooling, Study Warns Edited by: FSNews365 Climate Desk Oceans: The Silent Guardians of Global Warming The world's oceans have played a vital role in curbing global warming, absorbing roughly a quarter of human-produced carbon dioxide and over 90% of the excess heat it creates. Numerous studies, including those by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), have explore how oceans help offset rising emissions and global warming. Yet, few have considered the reverse scenario — how oceans might respond if emissions and atmospheric heat were to decline due to net negative emissions.

Investigating the Southern Ocean's Role in Climate Recovery In a recent study published in AGU Advances, Ivy Frenger and her team investigated the potential changes in the Southern Ocean following over a century of human-i...

Climate Change Fuels Fourfold Rise in World's Most Destructive Wildfires Edited by: Fasi Uddin Wildfires Growing Deadlier and Costlier The planet is entering an era of megafires , with the most destructive blazes now occurring 4.4 times more often than in the 1980s, according to a groundbreaking study published in Science. Unlike previous research that measured wildfires mainly by land burned , this study focused on economic damages and human costs . The findings highlight a " climate driven escalation of societally disastrous wildfires, " said lead author Calum Cunningham , a pyrogeographer at the University of Tasmania's Fire Center.

How the Study Was Conducted Beyond Scorched Acres: Measuring Human Tall The research team assessed the 200 most damaging wildfires since 1980 in Australia, the United States and Germany . Losses were calculated as a share of national GDP , adjusted for inflat...
