Washington (AFP) - Climate skeptics are scapegoating a weather modification technique known as cloud seeding to deny the role of global warming in historic floods that have recently devastated countries from Brazil to Kenya. Record rainfall brought to some regions by the natural weather cycle El Nino matches an expected increase in extreme events, experts say. But online, claims have repeatedly been made that geoengineering –- not carbon emissions –- is to blame. "Dubai airport looks like an apocalyptic movie. Videos of the flooding are insane," said Robby Starbuck, a conservative American com...

According to new research, satellite images of cyclones on Jupiter captured by NASA have revealed that they are fueled by processes similar to those on Earth. Knewz.com has learned that the common geophysical factors between Earth and Jupiter can lead to a better understanding of the processes that charge cyclones on our planet. The latest research is being led by Lia Siegelman, a physical oceanographer at UC San Diego’s Scripps Institution of Oceanography, who found that the cyclones in the polar regions of Jupiter are powered by processes that physicists studying Earth’s oceans and atmospher...

The World Meteorological Organization (WMO) is predicting an 80 per cent chance that average global temperatures will surpass the 1.5 Celsius target laid out in the landmark Paris climate accord within the next five years. It is also likely - an 86 per cent chance - that at least one of these years will set a new temperature record, beating 2023 which is currently the warmest year. The UN weather agency said Wednesday that the global mean near-surface temperature for each year from 2024 to 2028 is expected to range between 1.1 and 1.9 degrees Celsius hotter than at the start of the industrial ...

Paris (AFP) - Global warming has accelerated at an "unprecedented" pace as the window to limit rising temperatures within internationally-set targets closes, over 50 leading scientists warned in a study published on Wednesday. Looking at decade averages, temperatures climbed 0.26 degrees Celsius from 2014 to 2023, said the study published in the journal Earth System Science Data. In that same period, average global surface temperatures reached 1.19C above the 1850-1900 pre-industrial benchmark for measuring a warming world. It marks an increase from the 1.14C reported last year for the decad...
