These Climate Hacks to Save the Poles Could Totally Backfire

Last year, the United Nations predicted that Earth’s average temperature could rise more than 5.4 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius) by 2100 if we don’t reduce global emissions. That level of warming would cause catastrophic, irreversible damage to ecosystems, underscoring the urgent need to slow the pace of climate change. Still, the amount of greenhouse gases humans pump into the atmosphere continues to rise. Without sufficient progress on the emissions front, some scientists have suggest

Scientists Alarmed to Discover That Earth's Continents Are Drying Out

New research examining over 20 years of data captured by NASA's twin climate satellites, GRACE and GRACE-FO, has revealed an "unprecedented" level of water loss among the planet's continents, creating "mega-drying" regions across the northern hemisphere. One of these mega regions spans Europe, the Middle East, North Africa, and vast swaths of Asia. That should clue you in to the staggering scale of this phenomenon, which the scientists are calling terrestrial water storage (TWS) loss. Since 200

ChatGPT's new subscription costs less than $5, but it's not for everyone

OpenAI has begun updating its pricing page to include a new plan called 'ChatGPT Go.' It costs 399 INR (Indian Rupee) or roughly $4.55, but there’s a catch. The GPT Go plan will be limited to certain regions, likely developing countries like India. It’s unclear if OpenAI will expand the low-cost subscription to other regions, including the United States. The ChatGPT web app warns that the Go plan is "Only available in certain regions" at ₹399 INR/month, with everything in Free. But it also of

Hibernation’s Hidden Healing ‘Superpowers’ Could Be Locked in Our DNA

After spending months without eating, drinking, or moving, hibernating mammals must rebound from extreme physiological changes. Two new studies suggest that the genetic “superpowers” underlying this incredible resilience may also be present in the human genome. For these studies, published Thursday, July 31, in the journal Science, researchers at the University of Utah honed in on the specific DNA regions that help hibernators rapidly recover from muscle atrophy, insulin resistance, and brain d
