Atmospheric turbulence accounts for 71% of in-flight weather-related injuries, and according to scientists at the University of Reading, U.K., turbulence is only worsening with global warming. While winter is typically the ...
A patch of ocean in the North Atlantic is stubbornly cooling while much of the planet warms. This anomaly—dubbed the "cold blob"—has been linked to changes in ocean circulation, but a new study found changes in large-scale ...
