The clues that hint our planet might be heating faster than we realised
Scientists increasingly believe declining sulphur pollution from cleaner air is accelerating global warming by removing a cooling effect, contributing to record temperatures alongside rising carbon dioxide emissions.
Simpler, older version of Stonehenge found three miles from famous site
Archaeologists discovered a simpler, earlier version of Stonehenge about 3 miles away, consisting of two wooden posts aligned with solar solstices and dating back approximately 5,000 years.
Antarctica’s first ever dinosaur bone discovered in a drawer
A dinosaur tail bone discovered in Antarctica in 1985 and stored in a drawer for 40 years has been confirmed as the continent’s first dinosaur fossil, belonging to a long-necked Titanosaur species.
The clues that hint our planet might be heating faster than we realised
Scientists suggest Earth may be warming faster than previously thought due to declining sulphur pollution from clean-air policies, which had previously helped offset carbon dioxide’s warming effects.
This summer was hot. August shattered global heat records
Global temperatures in August shattered records, tying as the hottest month on record and exceeding a key climate threshold, according to international climate agencies.
