Could a daring experiment help our planet or is it a dangerous distraction?
To the editor: Coincidentally, your article about the hastened demise of Arctic Ocean sea ice appeared in the print edition the day after I finished rereading a favorite classic, Mary Shelly's "Frankenstein." Those who know the tale will remember that it begins as the scientist Victor Frankenstein is chasing his hideous, unnamed creation across giant plains of Arctic ice to avenge the murders of Frankenstein's family members. Rescued by a passing ship, Frankenstein narrates his story to the...
Melting ice is slowing the Earth's rotation, affecting how time is calculated, a new study says.
Struggle to wrap your head around daylight savings? Spare a thought for the world's timekeepers, who are trying to work out how climate change is affecting Earth's rotation—and in turn, how we keep track of time.
You’re not alone when it comes to understanding the language of climate change and what different words and phrases mean. There are a lot of terms brands and companies can use that can greenwash consumers into thinking they’re making climate pledges or cutting down their emissions when they might not be. Greenwashing in itself is when brands mislead or misinform consumers into thinking they’ve got an environmentally friendly public image when they might be selling a very harmful product but use...

Climate zealots do not want solutions to the problems they claim are going to kill us all. They just want control of your everyday life, from the car you drive to the food you eat. Harvard University is no longer continuing its solar geoengineering research experiment. The gist of solar geoengineering is that spraying particles […]
The intertwining of global warming and plastic pollution has been revealed through a study conducted by researchers in Sweden.
Climate change is not just an environmental issue; it is a global health challenge, with far-reaching implications for communities worldwide.
Images of neighborhoods devastated by natural disasters have become commonplace in recent years, but a new study finds that properties in some U.S. cities are especially imperiled.
Turkey’s eighth national Antarctic science expedition is seeking answers to questions about the future of the world with 22 different projects on the continent. Anadolu Agency’s photojournalist Sebnem Coskun is documenting the expedition’s scientific research, climate change impacts and life in the region to share the findings with the world.The expedition involves uncovering concealed data within the ice, gathered from years of research on crucial topics like sea ice and glacier dynamics....
Batteries are hot right now—like really, really hot. Long-lasting, durable, and lightweight storage devices will be an essential part of the global energy transition, yet the tendency of lithium-ion cells to catch fire and explode is only one issue with our most ubiquitous battery technology. A pile of other problems—long charging times, limited life between charges, vulnerability to heat and cold, and the risks around the supply chain of critical metals—has led investors and governments on a...
