New Permafrost Climate Model Aligns with Global Patterns

New research published in Science Advances indicates that northern permafrost regions will transition from a carbon sink to a carbon source as early as the 2050s. This shift contradicts previous Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) projections, which relied on models assuming these lands would continue to sequester carbon through 2100. The findings suggest that … Read more

Ancient Gulf Stream Shifts: A Warning for Future Climate Change

Researchers studying seabed sediment off Nova Scotia found that waters off Atlantic Canada warmed by 4°C to 5°C approximately 13,000 years ago. This warming occurred as the Gulf Stream shifted northward during the Younger Dryas, providing direct evidence that Atlantic Ocean circulation can reorganize abruptly during major climate shifts. Why did the North Atlantic experience … Read more
