In which Hank details the five scariest things that will likely happen because of climate change.

SciShow gives you latest in science news, including what "unstoppable" melting in Antarctica really means, and how you can help scientists increase the awesome through the 2014 Longitude Prize.

In which Hank details the five scariest things that will likely happen because of climate change.

A straightforward explanation of Climate Change: the heat from human emissions is roughly equal to exploding 400,000 Hiroshima atomic bombs every day. Historically, every time carbon dioxide levels increase in Earth's atmosphere, the...

These are the top 10 countries threatened by the 6 meter sea level rise we are almost guaranteed to see in the not-too-distant future, according to the projected pace of global warming and ice melt in Greenland and Antarctica.

Hurricane Helene and Milton are painful reminders that our oceans are changing. Warmer ocean waters are acting on higher sea levels, causing catastrophic damage to our coastal communities. And what’s scarier is that the sea level rise...

Warming ocean water is weakening a major current system called the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), which helps regulate global weather. Melting ice in Greenland and freshwater from rivers are making the ocean less...

As the planet warms, there's more water vapor in the air, which makes storms stronger and causes heavier rain and snow. This extra heat and humidity can also make it dangerous to live in some places, especially at night when bodies can’t...

The Arctic is warming quickly, and this is changing the jet stream—a strong wind high in the sky that affects weather. The jet stream is becoming slower and more wavy, which causes extreme weather to last longer, like very cold winters...

The oceans are very important in climate change because they take in almost 90% of the heat trapped by greenhouse gases and a lot of carbon dioxide. This makes the oceans warmer and more acidic, which has led to record-low sea ice,...

Polynesia and the South Pacific island countries are incredibly beautiful. And these islands are often thought of first when travelers begin yearning for a tropical holiday. Unfortunately, these very same islands are also facing an...

A “tipping point” is when a system, with just a small amount of additional energy, is pushed from one stable state to another suddenly and dramatically. This can be a chair falling backwards. Or it can be a major earth system collapsing....

Climate scientists are clear that we need to reach net zero carbon emissions by 2050. And in order to do this, we’re going to need to electrify everything and green the grid. But what will this clean, green future look like? Can we pull...

Arctic air is warming, causing scientists to worry that melting arctic ice and snow could also lead to a sudden permafrost thaw and release of carbon dioxide (CO2) and methane (CH4) that forms a climate tipping point or feedback loop....

As our seas rise and hurricanes get stronger, it is important that we understand more about storm surge – the most dangerous part of a hurricane. In this episode of Weathered we tell the story behind the best video we’ve ever seen of...

Sea level rise is a problem that is garnishing increasing attention among both scientists and the media. And as climate change continues to warm the earth, the current rate of 1.4 inches per decade is projected to increase, with NOAA...

For decades, Antarctic sea ice trends seemed to defy climate change, until…they didn’t. In just two years, Antarctica lost as much sea ice as the Arctic lost in three decades. Statistics say that the record low sea ice in 2023 was a 1 in...

Remember the 2008 Financial Crisis? Experts warn that the same thing may be happening again, but this time, CLIMATE CHANGE is the culprit. Increasing natural hazards, from wildfires and hurricanes to rising sea levels and catastrophic...

For this episode we wanted to see where we are in terms of “business as usual,” and if we are still headed towards an apocalypse of sorts. Or if, perhaps, all of the technological innovations in renewables and EVs along with new climate...

We look at many hazards from temperature, storms, drought, farming, wildfire, polar vortex, hurricanes, sea-level rise, crop failure, extreme heat, and even economics. We look at the effect of climate on future migration patterns in the...

Climate Change is increasing the frequency and severity of natural disasters all around the world. And in the United States, more and more people seem to be moving to the places that are projected to be most impacted by climate change,...

This film explores how the world's climate has changed over time and how human activities have accelerated this natural process.

This video explores how climate change impacts ecosystems, focusing on the effects of rising sea levels, ocean acidification, and coral bleaching. Learn how changes in the climate disrupt marine life, threaten animal habitats, and...

Today, we delve into a crucial aspect of climate change - the melting of ice caps and how they impact sea levels.

In this hands-on science experiment, we simulate how melting land ice (ice on pebbles) and sea ice (ice in water)...
