After weeks of scorching heat and dry conditions in the majority of the UK, with drought announced in parts of England, it seems that a big downpour is what we need. However, the heavy rainfall and thunderstorms predicted by the Met Office this week might be a threat. Researchers are warning that the storms can

The recently published Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on influences, adaptation, and vulnerability acknowledges that climate modification effects and dangers are becoming increasingly complex and more challenging to manage. Multiple weather dangers will happen together, and multiple climatic and non-climatic dangers will interact, resulting in worsening overall threats and dangers cascading across regions
The renowned snow-capped peaks of the Alps are fading quick and being replaced by vegetation cover– a procedure called “greening” that is predicted to increase climate change, a study said Thursday. The research, released in Science, was based on 38 years of satellite images throughout the entirety of the iconic European mountain range. “We were

Earth’s inside Structure received new attention from scientists. A new study led by a College of Cambridge is the first to take a detailed picture of an unusual pocket of rock at the border layer with the Planet’s core, some 3 thousand kilometers under the surface, giving new hope of understanding Earth’s Inside Structure. The
