Researchers have recently discovered that tropical forests in Australia have become the first of their kind to emit more carbon than they absorb.
Scientists are working on finding the causes of this new anomaly in cancer research. The rate of early-onset cancers—cancer which affects those under 50—has exponentially increased since the 1990s.
Researchers studying Earth’s climate have made a grim discovery about the reality of its climate. The planet has passed its first climate tipping point, with relentlessly rising heat temperatures in the oceans pushing corals around the world past their limit.
