Scientists from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) found in a new study that Greenland may be ice-free in future. The limit for a complete melting of the ice sheet is in the range between 0.8 and 3.2 degrees. For the study, numerous simulations have been made. It is not only possible variants of the [...]

Continue reading …An international research team has uncovered a potentially habitable”super-Earth” in another solar system. The planet orbits a dwarf sun there at the right distance for moderate temperatures at which water would be liquid, as the researchers write in the journal ”The Astrophysical Journal Letters.” Liquid water is considered essential for life, comparable to ours. Evidence for the existence of water or even life, the researchers on the so-called exoplanets have not so far found. But lead author Guillem Anglada-Escude of the Carnegie Institution in Washington is certain: “This planet is the new best candidate for the conditions, the liquid water and perhaps allow life as we know it,” [...]
