It feels like every day we're seeing the kind of extreme weather events that are being referred to as the "most," the "worst," the "hottest," the "driest," the "wettest," flooding, fires, earthquakes, tornadoes... resulting in billions of dollars in damage and lives lost.

The American Southwest Enters its 3rd Year of “Megadrought” – the Worst in 1200 Years

A study published in Nature Climate Change in February found the period from 2000 to 2021 was the driest for the Southwestern United States region in 1,200 years. Last year's drought severity was "exceptional," researchers said, and all indications are the extreme conditions will continue through 2022. The human-caused climate crisis has made the megadrought 72% worse, the study noted. Burning fossil fuels is having a direct impact on water […]

Towering Ice Volcanoes identified on Geologically Vibrant Dwarf Planet Pluto

A batch of dome-shaped ice volcanoes that look unlike anything else known in our solar system and may still be active have been identified on Pluto using data from NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft, showing that this remote frigid world is more dynamic than previously known. Scientists said that these cryovolcanoes — numbering perhaps 10 or more — stand anywhere from six-tenths of a mile (1 km) to 4-1/2 miles (7 […]

Are We Headed for a “Year Without a Summer”?

The climate over the past few thousand years has been unusually stable, helping bring about the rise of modern civilization. However, ice core studies reveal that the “normal” climate for Earth is one of frequent extreme jumps – like a light switch flicking on and off. So it is incorrect to think that global warming will lead to a slow and steady increase in temperature that humans can readily adapt […]
