When audiences watched the film The Day After Tomorrow, they saw an exaggerated Hollywood depiction of abrupt climate disruption, but the underlying concept that Earth's climate can shift rapidly has a firm scientific basis. During the last Ice Age, Greenland temperatures jumped by as much as 16 degrees Celsius within decades and repeated surges of icebergs disrupted the North Atlantic, events k

Hydrogen cyanide is highly poisonous to humans, yet new work suggests it could have played a constructive role in the emergence of life on early Earth and in other cold environments in the solar system and beyond. At very low temperatures this molecule forms solid crystals, and those crystals can host chemistry that would normally be far too slow or even impossible under such frigid conditions.

Don't say the c-word.
Global temperatures soared in 2025, but a NASA statement published Wednesday alongside its latest benchmark annual report makes no reference to climate change, in line with President Donald Trump's push to deny the reality of planetary heating as a result of human activities.
