(Natural News) Many skeptics have been speculating over the past several years about Earth undergoing some major changes in the very near future – mainly with regards to the “flipping” of its magnetic field. And new research out of New York claims to have uncovered precisely where “ground zero” of this major event will take […]

(Natural News) As the search for alien life and potentially habitable planets outside of the solar system continues, some experts now believe that they have found the perfect candidate: a densely packed family of planets that is part of what is called the TRAPPIST-1 system. Located some 40 light years away from Earth, the system could […]

(Natural News) There’s no denying that our planet is in trouble. Between deforestation, pollution, species extinction and soil degradation – to name just a few – there are plenty of crises to keep humankind busy for the foreseeable future. And as if we don’t already have enough to cope with, respected scientists are warning that […]

(Natural News) Sir David Attenborough, an English veteran broadcaster and naturalist who recently made a documentary on plastic and its harmful effects on the environment, said that the Earth’s oceans are slowly becoming a toxic depository due to the evil deeds of the planet’s dwellers. Describing one scene from the documentary, Attenborough said, “In it, […]

(Natural News) The increasing levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) brought about by climate change resulted in an increase in flower production in remote tropical forests across of the globe, according to a study published in the journal Global Change Biology. A team of researchers at Florida State University examined plant materials obtained from tropical forests of Panama’s Barro Colorado […]

(Natural News) The ice sheet in Greenland is melting, but it turns out that the culprit is not global warming, as some people would like to have you believe. Instead, researchers have now found proof that a hidden heat source deep inside the planet is behind this melting that is pushing glaciers into the ocean. […]

(Natural News) Thirty-some-odd years ago, scientists first became aware of a hole in the ozone layer, which had formed over Antarctica. But thanks to a global ban on hazardous chemicals known as chloro-fluorocarbons, officials at NASA now say that the hole discovered in the 1980s is now closing up. It seems time really can heal […]

(Natural News) As if the conflicting information and endless debates about climate change and carbon dioxide levels were not confusing enough, a new study has found that carbon dioxide levels were actually much lower than previously believed during the last “warm” period on the planet, illustrating just how difficult it is to make conclusive statements […]

(Natural News) As the global warming parade eagerly waits in anticipation for Earth’s temperatures to rise, a group of scientists warn that one of the world’s largest super volcanoes could erupt, setting off a chain of events that would actually cause wide scale cooling of the Earth’s climate. Centuries ago, the volcanic caldera known as […]

(Natural News) A new research suggested that molecules brought to Earth in meteor showers could potentially be converted into the building blocks of DNA, according to a Science Daily report. Researchers from the University of York found that amino nitriles, the molecular precursors to amino acids, were able to use molecules present in interstellar ice […]
