Sperm counts rapidly declining on all continents, meta-analysis finds

March 08, 2023 -

The new meta-analysis, published in the journal Human Reproduction Update, analyzes sperm count data from 38 studies conducted on six continents. From 1972 to year 2000, sperm counts have decreased by an average of 1.16% every year. Since 2000, infertility rates have continued, at over twice that rate. Total sperm count has declined by 2.64% annually over the past 22 years! The male infertility epidemic spans North America, Europe, and Australia, and also South and Central ...

Study: New radioactivity model indicates lost continents of early Earth, challenging current models

March 12, 2020 -

Scientists at the University of Adelaide in Australia have published two studies that use models of rock radioactivity over billions of years. The new model shows that the Earth's continental crust may have been thicker, much earlier than current models suggest. This means that early continents could have formed as far back as four billion years ago.

“We use this model to understand the evolving processes from early Earth to the present, and suggest that the survival ...

Zuckerberg’s Meta unveils world’s longest subsea cable: Project Waterworth connects continents in AI revolution

Study: Plate tectonics that shifted continents across Earth started at least 2.5 billion years ago

May 25, 2020 -

Scientists have long debated about when the plates formed. Previous estimates have ranged from one to five billion years ago. A group of researchers from the U.S. and Australia suggest that the movement of the plates began around 2.5 billion years ago.

The researchers, whose findings were published in the scientific journal Nature, studied metamorphic rocks from all over the world to come to their conclusions. (Related: Mantle mystery: Geologists don't know what to make ...

A land before time: Continents found deep underground could have been formed nearly 4.5 billion years ago

August 31, 2020 - continents as old as Earth

Scientists have known about these underground blobs of hot, compressed rock for decades. Past imaging studies showed that they exist near the core-mantle boundary. One of the solid rocky bodies is under Africa while the other is under the Pacific Ocean.

Seismic waves move differently through these gigantic masses of rock. When an earthquake hits, seismic waves travel through the rest of the mantle uniformly but hit major speed bumps upon ...

Understanding the global carbon cycle: Most CO2 is bound up in Earth’s core, which is why CO2 levels rise when continents move

September 16, 2018 -

What most people do not realize is that a majority of the carbon found on Earth is bound to its core. Only one-hundred-thousandth of the carbon dioxide on our planet is observed in the atmosphere, biosphere, and oceans. Scientists once believed that deep carbon is released into the atmosphere at mid-oceanic ridges due to volcanic activity. The resulting process bursts out jets of carbon dioxide through a chemical reaction.

This process of degassing carbon dioxide ...

Africa’s great divide: Tectonic forces are slowly tearing the continent apart

November 24, 2025 - continents over billions of years, including the breakup of the supercontinent Pangea 130 million years ago, which created today's oceans.

BrightU.AI's Enoch explains that Pangea was the last supercontinent on Earth, existing approximately 250 to 175 million years ago during the late Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras. The supercontinent began to break apart around 175 million years ago, leading to the formation of the modern continents we see today. It is a ...

NASA study reveals Earth’s magnetic field and oxygen levels are deeply connected—Could this rewrite planetary science?

July 03, 2025 - continents.

Super continents like Pangea didn’t just rearrange landmasses—they altered heat flow from Earth’s core, which may have turbocharged the magnetic field. Simultaneously, their erosion and weathering could have unleashed massive oxygen pulses into the air.

But skeptics argue this might be coincidence—540 million years is but a snapshot of Earth’s 4.5-billion-year history. Still, the statistical odds of such a perfect correlation happening by ...

New satellite data from NASA show how carbon links everything on Earth

November 25, 2018 - continents of Asia, South America, and Africa releasing massive amounts of carbon, leading to carbon dioxide concentrations soaring.

Another paper noted that the eruption of carbon was due to how the plants from these continents reacted to the abrupt depletion of this crucial element. In Asia and Africa, for instance, drought and extreme heat brought about the rapid decomposition of plants, which released great amounts of carbon into the air. The spate ...

Vehicle use of roadways linked to majority of microplastics in the air

May 03, 2021 - continents

The atmospheric modeling showed that microplastics can linger in the atmosphere for up to a week at times. That may be more than enough time for the particles to be blown across continents.

Scientists have already discovered microplastic pollution in Antarctica, the most remote continent on Earth. So it is very likely that microplastics were carried there by the wind from the sea or even other continents.

Overall, the findings suggest ...

Climate change myth debunked: Pacific and Indian Ocean sea levels rising much slower than model predictions

January 05, 2022 - continents absorb much of the water from the oceans

This is not the first study to point out the slow rise in sea levels. In 2016, scientists said that parched land is absorbing trillions of tons of water from the melting glaciers, stopping them from ending up in the oceans.

A pair of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) satellites launched in 2002, collectively known as the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE), measured changes in gravity ...

Human activity is causing wildlife to become more nocturnal

August 28, 2018 - continents. According to the findings of the global study, human presence had a significant impact on wildlife activity. In fact, the nocturnality of animals increased by an average factor of 1.36 due to human disturbance.

By way of illustration, an animal that often split its activity 50/50 between day and night would react to human disturbance by increasing its nocturnal activity to a whopping 68 percent of its total activity.

The meta-analysis confirmed ...

June 14, 2023 -

"The WHO is partnering with key countries on all continents and private entities … to form a new global organization to monitor, identify and track diseases," she remarked during the June 5 episode of her program "Right Now with Ann Vandersteel" on Brighteon.TV.

Vandersteel disclosed that the Rockefeller Foundation is one of the entities involved. However, she also noted that it remains unclear whether the London-based Wellcome Trust is a partner. The website for ...

Billions of microplastics particles are swirling around in the atmosphere

April 26, 2021 -

Now, a study led by researchers from Utah State University (USU) and Cornell University revealed that microplastics "spiral around the globe" in the atmosphere.

In fact, microplastics can linger in the air for up to a week, which is more than enough time for them to "travel" across entire continents. "The atmosphere is one of the reasons why microplastics are so widespread," said study lead author Janice Brahney, an assistant professor of natural resources at ...

Other planets may be home to more diverse life forms than Earth, suggest scientists

August 27, 2020 - continents and a slow rotation rate all pointed to a great potential for life.Distant exoplanets could be more habitable than Earth

Earth might seem like the optimal hub for life, but Olson and her colleagues suggest that other planets could, in fact, host oceans that are far more hospitable than those on Earth.

In the past, astronomers had focused on planets located in the so-called Habitable Zone, or the orbital region around a star. It is thought that planets ...

Ancient “mosaic” fossils found in Morocco challenge the timeline of human evolution

2 months ago - continents

The find directly challenges the traditional "out-of-Africa" model, which holds that anatomically modern humans evolved in Africa around 200,000 years ago before migrating and replacing other hominin species. Instead, it supports a more complex picture where early human populations left Africa well before fully modern traits had evolved, with differentiation happening across continents.

"The fossils show a mosaic of primitive and derived traits, ...

Study shows COVID-19 injections have so far caused a staggering 17 MILLION deaths

December 11, 2023 - continents in Latin America and the equatorial region, which provided them with a representative sample of the world.

"We calculate the toxicity of the vaccine for all ages given the number of doses given worldwide to conclude that 17 million people would have been killed by this vaccine," stated Dr. Rancourt.

The 17 equatorial and Southern Hemisphere countries studied include Argentina, Australia, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Malaysia, New ...

Sperm counts continue to PLUMMET worldwide as assault on men rages

February 24, 2023 -

An international team of researchers reviewed 2,936 scholarly abstracts and 868 full articles about the subject, as well as analyzed data from 38 sperm count studies conducted on six continents. They published their findings in this latest report, which is an update to an earlier one they published in 2017.

That 2017 study found that sperm counts had fallen in North America, Europe, and Australia by over 50 percent in 50 years. This latest study also includes ...
