A mass extinction event wiped out around 90% of life. What followed has long puzzled scientists: The planet became lethally hot for 5 million years. Researchers say they have figured out why using a ...

Is this just a temporary blip in our climate system or is this a long-term shift? And to answer it, scientists have to crack the mystery of the Pacific cold tongue.

The official numbers are in: 2024 is the hottest year on record. Climate change is the main culprit. But there might be something else going on, too.

Get ready for several years of even more record-breaking heat that pushes Earth to more deadly, fiery and uncomfortable extremes, two of the world's top weather agencies forecast.

To understand how Earth's magnetic field has evolved over its history, geophysicists use models that simulate the thermal state of the core and mantle. These models help us understand how heat is ...

Scientists have long wondered how Earth’s continents first formed. Now, a team of geologists from the University of Hong Kong ...

Understanding how wildfires influence our planet's climate is a daunting challenge. Although fire occurs nearly everywhere on ...

06 January 2025 Earth shattered heat records in 2023 and 2024: is global warming speeding up? Nature examines whether the temperature spike is a blip or an enduring — and concerning — trend.
