News Oxy: The shifting Earth axis is causing the northern pole to drift rapidly eastward, and it looks like climate change is to blame. The discovery may have major implications for studies of ice loss and drought, potentially improving our ability to predict such changes in the future. Earth turns around an axis like a giant spinning top, according to ABC News. The places where that invisible axis intersects with the planet`s surface are the north and south rotational poles. Due to Earth`s wobble on its...

New Scientist: The blistering afternoon sun beats down on my face. Normally by this time of day in May, dark clouds would be gathering, preparing for an almighty downpour. But there are no clouds in sight. The lush-green, perfectly manicured tea plants extend as far as my eyes can see. Women wearing woven bamboo hats are dotted around the plantation, plucking leaves and putting them in baskets attached to their backs. The work looks gruelling in this heat. And there's trouble brewing in the plantations of...
