A warmer atmosphere can hold — and deliver — more moisture, something that the city has seen firsthand in recent years. But efforts to ensure it can handle modern storms has been "not enough."

Persistent drought in the region has dropped water levels in the Mississippi River to near-historic lows, allowing salt water from the Gulf of Mexico to reach farther inland than normal.

A widespread 3 to 5 inches of rain is forecast to fall over the tri-state area Friday, with 7 to 10 inches possible locally, causing crippling travel delays and severe flash flooding.

Researchers said they have demonstrated for the first time that antimatter responds to gravity the same way matter does — by falling.

False narratives about renewable energy are malleable and adapted to different languages after extreme weather events in different countries, the researchers found.

After a capsule was hit by space junk and lost all its coolant while docked to the International Space Station, what should have been a 180-day mission turned into a 371-day stay.

The lawyers representing the young adults and children claim the 32 European governments they’re suing have failed to adequately address global warming and therefore violated some of their fundamental rights.

Subways and buildings emit heat directly into the sublayers of the ground, which can deform the ground and cause city structures and infrastructure to crack.

“It’s not just a record-breaking year; it’s an extreme record-breaking year,” one scientist said.

Researchers at Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory first achieved successful nuclear fusion in December in a major breakthrough after decades of work.

Lingering drought conditions have kept the Mississippi River at abnormally low levels and significantly weakened its flow, allowing salt water to creep in.
