Earth may respond to the huge quantities of carbon dioxide (CO2) that humans are pumping into the atmosphere by “overcorrecting” the imbalance, which could result in the next ice age arriving on time instead of being delayed by tens of thousands of years, as had previously been predicted. This is due to a newfound “thermostat” that buries mountains of carbon …

For nearly twenty years, satellites have quietly gauged the flow of sunlight and heat through the Earth’s atmosphere. Today, scientists say those measurements indicate a disturbing trend — the Northern Hemisphere is steadily getting darker compared to the Southern Hemisphere. The discrepancy could redefine wind patterns, ocean currents, and even global temperatures. Tracking the Planet’s Energy Flow The study relies …
