Here’s an unexpected ways climate change may impact species’ survival: their ability (or inability) to mate in extreme weather.

The year 2023 ended in California with massive waves that caused concerns over flooding, erosion, and forced evacuations.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service latest research into the status of polar bears show that the species is still threatened.

Waves off California have grown a foot taller due to climate change. Waters and storms increasing, threatening the California coast.

Groundwater depletion has had a profound impact on Earth, causing a measurable shift in its axis of rotation, according to recent research. From 1993 to 2010, humans displaced more than 2 trillion tons of water by removing them from underground reservoirs, which has caused the geographic North Pole to shift approximately 4 centimeters per year.

A new computer model that combines artificial intelligence (AI) and NASA satellite data could soon act as Earth’s early warning system for hazardous space storms.  The model, called DAGGER, has the potential to analyze measurements of solar wind. It can then accurately (and quickly) predict where an impending solar storm will strike on Earth. This crucial notice could allow humanity [...]

During his 2020 presidential campaign, Joe Biden had a slogan: “No more drilling on federal lands, period.” This week, he reneged on that promise, green-lighting a ConocoPhillips project to clear-cut vegetation, build roads, and install more than 200 oil wells in the Western Arctic. So, how did we get here? For many voters, Biden felt [...]

Planting trees is great and all, but a recent study suggests it’s time to try some wild new tech if we really want to stop global warming. Some of the solutions will blow your mind. The study in question is a new, first-of-its-kind report led by the University of Oxford’s Smith School of Enterprise and [...]

Just last week, two backcountry tourers narrowly escaped an avalanche on Mt. Washington. A few days later, a 46-year-old skier was killed by an avalanche in Deschutes County, Oregon. His death brought this season’s avalanche fatality count to 14, shocking the local community and leaving many to wonder: Are deadly avalanches are getting more frequent? [...]

Over the past few years, millions of people have either moved to Salt Lake City, Utah, or visited to hike and ride the region’s world-class trails. But now the Great Salt Lake is drying up, releasing chemicals so toxic that it may soon be unsafe to hike or bike at all.  The Great Salt Lake [...]
