Climate heating has reached even deepest parts of the Arctic Ocean
NegativeScience
Recent research indicates that the depths of the Arctic Ocean have warmed more than previously anticipated, primarily due to warmer water influx from Greenland. This unexpected temperature rise poses significant concerns for marine ecosystems and climate patterns in the region.
Kissing goes back 21 million years, to the common ancestor of humans and other large apes, study finds
NeutralScience
Scientists have traced the origins of kissing back to a primate ancestor that lived approximately 21 million years ago. This research sheds light on the evolutionary roots of this behavior, linking it to the common ancestor of humans and other large apes.
'Impossible' black hole collision pushed relativity to its breaking point — and scientists finally understand how
PositiveScience
In 2023, scientists detected gravitational waves from a seemingly impossible black hole collision. New research has provided insights into how this 'forbidden' black hole formed and what it reveals about these extreme cosmic objects.
Societies Are Unprepared for the Human Costs of Climate Overshoot
NegativeScience
Scientists are warning that societies are not adequately prepared for the humanitarian and social costs associated with climate overshoot. While there has been significant progress in understanding the physical impacts of climate change, the authors emphasize the urgent need to focus on the broader implications for human welfare and social structures. This lack of preparedness could exacerbate existing vulnerabilities and lead to severe consequences for communities worldwide.
