50-year-old climate models were still surprisingly accurate, research finds

Climate scientist Zeke Hausfather recently concluded a study where his team studied the predictions made by climate models stretching as far back as 1970, almost fifty years ago. They found that the models were incredibly accurate, with the oldest one having the highest accuracy, 91 percent, with the average accuracy score for each model at 69 percent. Hausfather hopes the study will ease criticisms of the inaccuracies of climate models.

Scientists discover fish migration route 4500 ft below sea level

A recently concluded study from a large number of collaborating groups in universities around the world has photographed evidence of a deep-sea fish migration route that was first theorized to exist when scientists noticed that deep-sea fish populations exhibited seasonal patterns. While the exact route is still unclear, scientists have managed to prove that the migration route exists 4,500 feet below sea level in the Atlantic Ocean.

Global CO2 emissions from the power sector experience the largest drop since 1990

Global Carbon Dioxide emissions from the power sector dropped by 2% last year, making it the largest drop since 1990. This dip occurred due to the reduction in coal usage in Europe and the United States. Although coal usage in China rose by a large amount as the country became responsible for half the world's coal-fired power generation.

Scientists find the largest explosion since the Big Bang

A collaboration of scientists operating telescopes in the US, Europe, India, and Australia have found what they believe to be the greatest explosion in the universe since the Big Bang. The explosion is believed to have been caused by a supermassive black hole in the Ophiuchus galaxy cluster containing thousands of galaxies. The black hole blew a one-and-a-half-million light-year hole in the middle of the cluster.
