Recent studies have shown that a doubling of CO2 levels in the atmosphere could lead to a significantly greater increase in global temperatures than previously estimated. This finding comes from an analysis of sediments from the Pacific Ocean near California conducted by researchers at the NIOZ Royal Netherlands Institute for Sea Research and the universities … Read more

A newly discovered exoplanet, estimated to have a remarkably moderate surface temperature, is suddenly one of the most intriguing objects in our immediate sky. This Venus-sized rocky world passes by a red dwarf star, offering astronomers a rare opportunity to investigate whether such planets can maintain their atmospheres and possibly support life. How will time … Read more
The belief that a heat pump is unable to heat a home in the dead of winter is becoming widespread, especially in Britain. A recent survey of more than 4,000 adults in Britain, Germany, France and the US last autumn found that 35% believed that air source heat pumps were not suitable for their work. … Read more
