Acceleration of Water Cycle Could Have Significant Consequences on the Global Climate

Researchers at the Institut de Ciències del Mar (ICM-CSIC) in Barcelona have found that global warming is accelerating the water cycle, which could have significant consequences on the global climate system, according to an article published recently in the journal Scientific Reports.

Earth’s Oceans Could Face a Mass Extinction if Climate Change Continues Unabated

According to a new study performed, if climate change continues to be persistent, life in Earth’s oceans could experience mass destruction—a loss in biodiversity that could compete with the planet’s past great extinctions.

Climate Change Likely to Trigger the Possibility of the Next Pandemic

As continuous warming occurs in the Earth’s climate, scientists forecast wild animals will be compelled to shift their habitat, probably to areas with large human populations. This considerably increases the threat of a viral jump to humans that could result in the next pandemic.

Sea Ice Loss Has a Long-Lasting Climatic Impact in the Arctic and Beyond

As the impacts of climate change are felt around the world, no area is experiencing more drastic changes than the northern polar region. Studies have shown the Arctic is warming at two to three times as fast as the rest of the planet, resulting in a rapid loss of its sea ice volume.
