New research reveals that only the oldest and fastest-sinking oceanic plates can transport water deep into Earth’s mantle, ...

Researchers have uncovered that both ocean currents and atmospheric changes contribute equally to a cold patch in the North Atlantic. While global temperatures continue to rise, one area in the ...

Due to the radiative thermal conductivity of the mineral olivine, only oceanic plates over 60 million years old and ...

A patch of the Atlantic Ocean just south of Greenland is cooling while much of the world warms. The origin of this "cold blob ...

After 12 consecutive months with temperatures 1.5 C above the 1850-1900 average, Earth's temperature has now fallen — thanks in part to the end of a natural cycle. According to Berkeley Earth, a ...

Our climate seems to be more sensitive to greenhouse gas emissions than some researchers had hoped, meaning the world will ...

The report predicts that society will have emitted enough carbon dioxide by early 2028 that crossing an important long-term temperature boundary will be ... and the climate monitoring group Berkeley ...

After 12 consecutive months with temperatures 1.5 C above the 1850-1900 average, Earth’s temperature has now fallen slightly.

This map depicts global temperature anomalies for meteorological summer in 2024 (June, July and August). It shows how much warmer or cooler different regions of Earth were compared to the baseline ...

Global warming today reveals a worrying phenomenon: entire regions are experiencing heatwaves so intense that they defy the predictions of current climate models. These extreme anomalies, detected ...

The only way for 2024 to not be the warmest year on Earth, scientists said, is if the average temperature anomaly dropped to almost zero for the remainder of the year — which is highly unlikely.
