Nuclear bomb testing in the 1950’s charged the atmosphere and caused changes in weather patterns thousands of miles from the test sites.

Scientists say that nuclear bomb testing during the Cold War changed rainfall patterns. The electric charge released by nuclear radiation impacted rainclouds, causing them to thicken and produce 24% more rain.

As climate change continues, we’ll likely see animal habitats adjust and shift around the country. Right now scientists think the animal movement will be more pronounced in northern areas of the world.

The jet stream is a strong wind current flowing about 10 miles above the ground. In the Northern Hemisphere, it almost always blows from west to east and always in a fairly straight line. The jet stream is extremely important to weather systems – it drives the weather patterns throughout the year.

Black snow falls in Siberia – and it’s toxic and dangerous to the people who live there.

In early 2019, black snow fell from the sky in several towns in the Siberian region of Kuzbass. About 2.6 million people live in the area. Most work in the area’s coal fields which are the world’s largest.

Science will help reverse climate damage but there are still lots of things you can do to battle climate change. Together we can beat climate change and become the generation that literally saves the world! Let’s become #ClimateHeroes! Here’s how.

The geeks at NASA released a time-lapse photo revealing how our planet has changed over the past two decades. The photos were taken from NASA satellites that continuously monitor populations of plant life on land and in the oceans. If it looks like the planet is breathing – well it is!

Water, frozen into a solid state – we see it on the ground in the winter, on top of mountains, and in our refrigerators – but how often have you thought about how marvelous ice is? In our Solar System, ice is abundant and found naturally on most of the planets. On Earth, it plays…

Scientists this week admit that they goofed (again) when estimating the increasing sea levels that result from global warming. If you live in any of the eleven of the fifteen largest cities in the world, you might want to make sure you have a bathing suit handy.

If the satellite image above doesn’t make your skin crawl then you’ve got eh, skin made of steel. A very rare meteorological event occurred on Saturday when three Category 4 hurricanes plowed through the Pacific Ocean at the same time. The three hurricanes, Hurricane Kilo, Hurricane Ignacio, and Hurricane Jimena [cricket] had all reached sustained…

Global warming is a serious problem and if we wait for governments to propose a solution, it may be too late. In fact, it may already be too late to stop the unnatural warming of our planet. Many think the solution to the global warming problem lies in someone else’s hands but there are things…

Nuclear bomb testing in the 1950’s charged the atmosphere and caused changes in weather patterns thousands of miles from the test sites.

With climate change, US ecosystems have shifted hundreds of miles north.

How does global warming change our weather patterns?

NASA’s 20-year satellite-time-lapse of the planet shows an earth breathing as the climate changes

Wonderful, beautiful, striking pictures of ice that look like works of art

Grab your bathing suits and sunscreen – ocean levels are rising much faster than we thought!

What a sight! Three Category 4 hurricanes pass through Pacific at the same time! (Very rare event)

50 things you can do to help stop global warming (or 50 things you can do to guarantee seaside property after all the icebergs melt).
