Wildfires are now continuing to burn through the overnight hours, and firefighters are finding these fires more difficult to fight. Drought conditions seem to be the cause for this problem.
The climate crisis has led to the invention of different mechanisms to try and slow down global warming. However, without proper regulation, these experiments could do more harm than good.
International flights were quick trips over the weekend with wind speeds in the jet stream reaching over 260 miles per hour. Flights reached speeds of over 800 miles per hour.
2023 saw an unexpected coral bleaching event, especially in Florida and the Caribbean. In fact, scientists had to make the scale larger to really show the effects of coral bleaching.

Nearby spiral galaxies in new Webb telescope images give insight as to how these galaxies form and what really makes up their composition. Webb is the only telescope able to do so.
Outbreaks of plagues have been linked to changes in climate during the Roman Empire. These changes in climate brought destabilisation to society, which is something that still hold true today with anthropogenic global warming.
Swirls of snow bands in a single line appeared on radar over Lake Michigan last week called mesovortexes, bringing heavy, localized snow to parts of northern Illinois and northern Indiana.
A new Webb image of our solar system’s seventh planet from the Sun shows the planet is more than a giant ball of ice. Uranus in infrared imaging shows the planet like we’ve never seen it before.
