96% of Humanity has Felt the Impact of Global Warming

Whether they realize it or not, some 7.6 billion people - 96% of humanity - have felt the impact of global warming on temperatures in the past 12 months, researchers say.

But some regions have felt it much more strongly and more often than others, according to a report by Climate Central, a climate science think tank.

Lowest July Antarctic sea ice on record

Last month saw the lowest extent of Antarctic sea ice on record for July, according to the European Union's satellite monitoring group.

The Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) found Antarctic sea ice extent reached 15.3 million square kilometers - some 1.1 million km2, or seven percent, below the 1991-2020 average for July.

Relatively warm weather concerns experts

A relatively warm spell that has been pervading Istanbul and Turkey's western coasts for months, despite the fact that it's the middle of winter, concerns experts.

Amazon birds becoming smaller and longer winged

Even the wildest parts of the Amazon untouched by humanity are being impacted by anthropogenic climate change, according to new research.

Hotter, drier conditions over the past four decades are decreasing the rainforest birds' body size while increasing their wingspans, a study published in the journal Science Advances have said.

Three Scientists Share Nobel Prize in Physics

 

The 2021 Nobel Prize for physics has been shared between scientists working on models to predict global warming and the interplay of planetary systems.

One half of the prize is split between Syukuro Manabe and Klaus Hasselmann for their work in the 'physical modelling of Earth's climate, quantifying variability and reliably predicting global warming.'
