New Study Finds Scientists Have Been Underestimating Global Sea Level Rise
Scientists recently discovered that studies have been significantly underestimating global sea level rise across the world, highlighting possibly deadly consequences. The new study highlights the misinterpretation of global sea levels by scientists over the last few decades. According to their research, less than 1% of recent studies have correctly estimated current sea levels due to their reliance on an old satellite mapping model. The old model, which combines satellite map

Emperor Penguins in Grave Danger as Sea Ice Melts Early Due to Climate Change
Antarctica's famed emperor penguins are in grave danger due to melting sea ice, leaving them frozen in the icy waters around the South Pole. Emperor penguins go through an annual molting process where they must stay on sea ice for long enough to shed their old feathers and grow new, waterproof ones.

Bomb Cyclone Brings Whiteout, Blizzard Conditions to Northeast US
The northeastern US was slammed by a powerful bomb cyclone this past weekend, dropping as much as three feet of snow in some areas of the region. A bomb cyclone is a strong, mid-latitude storm that drops at least 24 millibars in pressure in under 24 hours– a process known as 'bombogenesis.' This system, named Winter Storm Hernando, achieved that 24-millibar drop in just nine hours, dropping a total of 40 millibars over just 12 hours. This meant that the storm wasn't just bri
