Today's sea level rise is significant enough to slow the rotation of the planet by just over a millisecond per century.

Scientists say a record-smashing March heat wave in the U.S. Southwest shows climate change is already driving more dangerous ...

Melting ice sheets and rising seas are redistributing enough mass across the planet to measurably slow Earth’s rotation, stretching the length of each day at a rate not seen in 3.6 million years. A ...

Rising sea levels are slowing Earth’s rotation, lengthening how long an average day lasts. Incredibly, climate change is ...

Scientists discovered massive volcanic rubble, breccia, on the South Atlantic seabed. This porous rock traps far more carbon ...

A seemingly small planetary neighbor may play a larger role in Earth’s climate than previously thought. Mars is only about ...

"The current rapid rise in day length can thus be attributed primarily to human influences," said professor Benedikt Soja.

If global warming surpasses 1.5°C, vast regions could lose critical crop diversity, heightening the risk to worldwide food security.

A mysterious spike of platinum buried deep in Greenland’s ice has long fueled theories of a catastrophic comet or asteroid strike 12,800 years ago—possibly triggering a sudden return to icy conditions ...

A climate scientist explains why Earth is 'running a fever' and how climate change impacts health, the economy, and daily ...

Climate change is lengthening our days because rising sea levels slow Earth's rotation. Researchers from the University of Vienna and ETH Zurich now show that the current increase in day length—1.33 ...

Ancient rocks in Sweden are acting like a “rock clock,” helping scientists finally pin down when major Cambrian climate changes happened.
