Climate Change

Researchers from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Kharagpur have found highly erratic and localised temperature shifts across South Asia, revealing that the region is heavily deviating from typical global warming patterns. By analysing high-resolution climate data spanning over two decades, researchers Ishita Sharan Srivastava and Aditya Kumar Patra found that high-altitude mountainous areas are …

A new study suggests climate change is doing something few people would ever notice: it’s making the days on Earth slightly longer. Researchers say rising sea levels caused by melting ice are slowing the planet’s rotation, stretching the length of day by tiny fractions of a second. While the change is almost impossible to feel …
