According to the folks over at Copernicus, the EU’s climate change service, this week the average daily global sea surface temp smashed the previous record set in 2016. It clocked in at a balmy 20.96C (69.73F), which is a lot hotter than usual for this time of year.
According to a new study as reported on Science Daily, a significant area of Greenland was once an ice-free tundra landscape, maybe with trees and roaming woolly mammoths, in the recent geologic past (approximately 416,000 years ago). The findings support an earlier hypothesis that a large portion of the Greenland ice sheet survived over the…
The capacity of animals to adapt to climate change can be the difference between survival and extinction on a warming planet. Researchers have now found that certain species are adjusting by changing their form. As the world’s temperatures have increased over time, their bodies have evolved. These modifications are simpler, smaller physical adaptations to deal…
Increasing numbers of visitors are prioritizing cooler climates or off-season travel to avoid spending their time away in stifling heat, which might accelerate a trend that is already emerging among vacationers as a result of the awful weather in southern Europe.

By 2100, the frequency of rainbows could increase by up to 5% worldwide, which would be one of the more peculiar effects of catastrophic climate change. The number of days in the year with weather conducive to seeing at least one rainbow is how researchers measuring the less evident consequences of climate change quantify this…
