These mammoth storm systems take shape over warm ocean waters, marked by their spiraling arrangement of thunderstorms, strong winds, and torrential rain. As they gather strength, they can cause widespread devastation, their impacts felt […]
Greenland, known for its massive ice sheet, is a region of the planet that is in grave danger due to climate change. As a result of rising temperatures, Greenland is losing an average of 270 gigatons of ice annually. This significant loss is a stark reminder of the vulnerability of the earth’s cold regions to […]
The puffin chicks on Maine’s islands are making a remarkable comeback after two years of decline. This decline was largely attributed to unusual weather patterns, which were directly linked to climate change.
