Antarctic penguins could experience a ‘population boom’ due to global warming as melting sea ice means they have to spend less time foraging for food. Japanese scientists describe the Adélie species of penguin, which is native to Antarctica, as a ‘rare global warming winner’ thanks to melting ice. In low-ice conditions, penguins are able travel more … Read more
Global warming has unleashed an early summer in Alaska, triggering a landslide on Yudikench Peak, a mountain near Anchorage. Temperatures reached 69 degrees Fahrenheit near the mountain this month that sparked a ‘wedge failure’ – a type of land slide that occurs along multiple planes.

El Niño is the name of a current recurring climate phenomenon across the tropical Pacific, which shifts back and forth irregularly every two to seven years, and triggers disruptions of … Read more
The world is now regularly getting so hot and humid during heatwaves that some locations surpass the ‘theoretical human survivability limit’. Doomsday predictions made by scientists expected this to happen due to global warming, but not for several decades. But a study found parts of the world have already become so hot and humid during heatwaves that … Read more
Wolf spiders are resorting to CANNIBALISM as warming Arctic causes population to rise and sparks more competition for food Wolf Spiders in the Alaskan Arctic are turning to cannibalism to survive Rising temperatures cause females to grow larger and produce more offspring Because this creates competition for food, the females are eating juveniles By Stacy Liberatore … Read more
