This is the time of year when meteorologists are on the lookout for hurricanes forming over the Atlantic Ocean. As Global News has previously reported, those hurricanes are increasingly super-sized because of warmer ocean waters, caused by climate change. Eric Sorensen reports on how the lack of hurricanes could be yet another signal our planet's climate systems are growing out of sync.
Fall is in full swing, but it’s not too soon to look ahead to winter, especially one that could feel considerably different than last year’s dominated by El Niño.

Researchers have found a thriving ecosystem of animal life in an unlikely place: beneath hydrothermal vents under the seafloor of the Pacific Ocean. A community of marine life was found below the East Pacific Rise, a volcanically active ridge located where two tectonic plates meet on the floor, according to a paper published Tuesday in Nature Communications. "It was once believed that only microbes and viruses inhabited the subseafloor crust beneath hydrothermal vents," the study states.
