The global average temperature for 2023 was 1.48°C warmer than the 1850-1900 pre-industrial average, putting the world on the brink of the Paris Agreement limit The global average temperature for 2023 was 1.48°C warmer than the 1850-1900 pre-industrial average, putting the world on the brink of the Paris Agreement limit The global average temperature for 2023 …
It may be easier than researchers thought to form diamonds inside giant planets, which means that it might rain diamonds on up to a third of the planets we have discovered so far It may be easier than researchers thought to form diamonds inside giant planets, which means that it might rain diamonds on up …

Measuring airborne grass allergen levels instead of pollen counts will be more beneficial for hay fever sufferers as new research shows grass allergen levels are more consistently associated with hay fever symptoms than grass pollen counts.

As climate change fuels sea level rise, younger people will migrate inland, leaving aging coastal populations — and a host of consequences — in their wake, a study finds. While destination cities will work to sustainably accommodate swelling populations, aging coastal communities will confront stark new challenges, including an outflow of vital human infrastructure such …
Coastal populations set to age sharply in the face of climate migration Read More »
By investigating a molecule in the brain tied to cellular communication, scientists uncover important information about the proteins that do — and do not — influence alcohol drinking behavior.

A global study shows that the effects of extreme drought — which is expected to increase in frequency with climate change — has been greatly underestimated for grasslands and shrublands. The findings quantify the impact of extreme short-term drought on grassland and shrubland ecosystems across six continents with a level of detail that was not …
