New research has revealed that volcanic hotspots on Jupiter’s moon, Io, could be linked to global climate changes on Earth. Scientists at the University of Arizona have discovered that massive outbursts of lava from Io’s volcanoes can produce a powerful electrical current that can travel through the atmosphere and react with Earth’s atmosphere. This could result in changes in global temperatures and weather patterns that could last for centuries. The findings have been published in the journal Nature.
