  • We Found Oxygen Being Made in Total Darkness Without Plants

    We Found Oxygen Being Made in Total Darkness Without Plants

    For centuries, the story of oxygen on Earth has seemed settled. Plants, algae, and certain bacteria capture sunlight, split water, and release oxygen as a byproduct of photosynthesis. From school textbooks to university lectures, the message has been consistent: without sunlight, there is no natural production of oxygen. In the deepest parts of the ocean,…

  • The Antarctic Waterfall That Bleeds Red in the Coldest Place on Earth

    The Antarctic Waterfall That Bleeds Red in the Coldest Place on Earth

    At first glance, it looks like something torn from a nightmare rather than a place on Earth. In the middle of Antarctica’s frozen emptiness, a waterfall pours from a glacier in a deep, unsettling shade of red. It stains the ice below it, spreads across the snow, and slowly creeps toward a frozen lake. Against…

  • Earth’s Energy Imbalance Doubles Speeding Up Climate Change

    Earth’s Energy Imbalance Doubles Speeding Up Climate Change

    Climate scientists thought they understood the pace of global warming. Their sophisticated models, refined over decades of research, predicted how Earth’s energy balance would shift as greenhouse gas concentrations increased. Then the latest satellite data arrived, revealing something that caught the entire scientific community off guard. The numbers showed a pattern so dramatic that researchers…

  • AI Predicts That Most of the World Will See Temperatures Rise to 3°C Much Faster Than Previously Expected

    AI Predicts That Most of the World Will See Temperatures Rise to 3°C Much Faster Than Previously Expected

    New research using artificial intelligence (AI) suggests that many regions will experience higher temperatures sooner than expected. Three climate scientists combined AI-driven analysis with data from ten global climate models, revealing that warming thresholds may arrive decades earlier than earlier projections. Elizabeth Barnes from Colorado State University, Noah Diffenbaugh from Stanford University, and Sonia Seneviratne…
