Warm air from the southern Gulf states collides with colder northern air, creating the perfect environment for powerful storms. As the 2026 tornado season begins, forecasters say the pattern may look less active from the extreme tumult seen in 2025. […]
Microplastics are tiny pieces of plastic as large as a few millimeters or as small as nanoparticles. Scientists first identified them in the 1970s and as research continued, they are found to exist almost everywhere. They are present in water, soil, and air. Nanoparticles are commonly found in everyday use products like detergents and cosmetics. […]

A new international study presents a serious warning, greenhouse gas accumulation is increasing faster than scientists expected. This is pushing the planet toward dangerous levels of global warming. If current trends continue, the Earth will likely pass the key 1.5 degrees Celsius warming threshold by early 2028. A goal established in the 2015 Paris Agreement […]
As the world gets warmer, glaciers are melting. Scientists say this could cause some of the world’s most dangerous ice covered volcanoes to erupt. These volcanoes, quiet for thousands of years, are susceptable to changing surface conditions. As the ice melts, the pressure on the magma chamber below is reduced. Lower pressure allows for crustal […]
