Rates of climate change in the world’s ocean depths could be seven times higher than current levels by the second half of this century even if emissions of greenhouse gases were cut dramatically, according to new research.Different global heating at different depths could have major impacts on ocean wildlife, causing disconnects as species that rely…

In a first, biologists were able to create a large-scale map of microscopic algae on Antarctic coastal snow, which has been melting due to global warming.In order to successfully map the surface of the coldest continent, the scientists worked extensively for six years with remote sensing technology — a combination of satellite data and ground…

Parts of the Antarctic Peninsula will change color as “green snow” caused by blooming algae is expected to spread with increases in global temperatures, research showed Wednesday. Although often considered devoid of plant life, Antarctica is home to several types of algae, which grow on slushy snow and suck carbon dioxide from the air. Researchers from the…

By Martyn HermanLONDON (Reuters) – Antarctica conjures images of an unbroken white wilderness but blooms of algae are giving parts of the frozen continent an increasingly green tinge.Warming temperatures due to climate change are helping the formation and spread of “green snow” and it is becoming so prolific in places that it is even visible…

Cyclones are becoming stronger as Earth’s climate continues to warm.The probability of major cyclones has increased in the last 40 years.Tropical cyclone intensity across the globe rose significantly between 1979 to 2017.Climate change is making tropical cyclones more intense with stronger maximum sustained winds, according to a new study led by scientists at NOAA and…
