The claim: Global warming is occurring because of solar winds and changes in Earth's magnetic field. Solar winds consist of charged particles emitted by the sun.
Solar winds consist of charged particles emitted by the sun. Earth's magnetic field – generated by churning, molten iron in the planet's core – prevents most of these particles from ...
It experiences Earth's strongest winds and largest waves. It is home to city-sized icebergs and the biggest ocean current on the globe, as well as tiny turbulent flows that fit inside a teacup.
In short, the global warming induced by increased greenhouse gases changes the major wind systems on Earth. This in turn ...
In 2019, though, a group of researchers found that after 2010, global average wind speeds had actually increased — from 7 miles per hour to 7.4 miles per hour. Despite those conflicting data, the ...
As ocean temperatures increase and feed stronger hurricanes, it may be necessary to add a Category 6 to describe storms with winds of 192 mph (309 km/h) or higher, researchers said Feb. 5 in the ...
Launching a million tonnes of moon dust around Earth could dim sunlight across our planet by 1.8 per cent. This would reduce the global temperature, but whether it would be worth the resources ...
A 2021 satellite photo captured rare, wispy streaks of ice stretching across an ocean channel separating the Ronne Ice Shelf and a patch of multi-year sea ice in Antarctica.
