United States Fish and Wildlife Services has listed the Emperer penguins of Antarctica as "endangered species". According to a study, 98% of Emperor penguins may become extinct by 2100 due to the sudden and fast climate change activities on earth. Scientists have estimated that at this rate, at least two-third of penguin-occupied colonies (70%) would go extinct by 2050.

Eight eastern states - Jharkhand, Mizoram, Odisha, Chhattisgarh, Assam, Bihar, Arunachal and West Bengal are extremely susceptible to the increasing effects of climate change. According to a report released by IIT-Guwahati, Mandi and IISc-Bangalore, these states need to be prioritized for funding and preparation for upcoming risks. The study revealed, approximately 90% districts in Assam, 80% in Bihar, and 60% in Jharkhand are among the 153… read-more

According to a study by journal Geophysical Research Letters, South Asian countries are exposed to a higher risk of heatwaves. Reportedly, with global warming increasing by 2 degrees, the temperature will rise by three times compared to the recent years. Moreover, Scientists also said that the increased temperatures will disrupt labour conditions in agricultural regions of the country. However, the situation can be kept under check by… read-more

Observing the seasonal changes transpiring globally, researchers have revealed a shocking discovery in the journal 'Geophysical Research Letters'. Citing the greenhouse gas emissions, the study said the Northern Hemisphere may witness 6-month long summers and 2-month long winters alongside shorter autumn and spring seasons by the end of the 21st century. The researchers opined that the dramatic shift will have far-reaching ramifications for … read-more

A joint study by China, US and Italy pointed that despite a drop in carbon emissions, the global oceanic temperature in 2020 was recorded as the warmest in history. The report mentioned that the above 2,000 metres of oceans absorbed relatively greater heat than 2019. Moreover, the study chief Cheng Lijing said that due to the delayed response, the climate change might last for long by manifesting typhoons, hurricanes and extreme rainfall.
