Why Earth is losing its symmetry
Earth’s once-balanced energy budget between the Northern and Southern Hemispheres is shifting, according to 24 years of NASA CERES data. The Northern Hemisphere is now absorbing significantly more solar energy due to melting ice, reduced pollution and rising water vapour. With clouds failing to compensate, scientists warn this growing imbalance could reshape climate patterns and accelerate global warming.
