THIS past summer, the Group of 7 nations promised “urgent and concrete action” to limit climate change. What actions exactly? Activists hope for answers from the coming United Nations climat... Read more
Our oceans need an immediate and substantial reduction of anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions. If that doesn’t happen, we could see far-reaching and largely irreversible impacts on marine... Read more
Future global wheat harvest is likely to be reduced by six per cent per each degree Celsius of local temperature increase if no adaptation takes place. Worldwide this would correspond to 42... Read more
New data and assessments suggest that resilience of the planet is now at risk Almost half of the processes that are crucial to maintaining the stability of the planet have become dangerously... Read more
It’s widely known that the Earth’s average temperature has been rising. But research by an Indiana University geographer and colleagues finds that spatial patterns of extreme temperature ano... Read more
“This patch of ocean fixes about as much carbon as an equivalent patch of rainforest and then almost immediately turns much of it over” Algae might seem easy to ignore, but they... Read more
The average temperature on Earth has barely risen over the past 16 years. ETH researchers have now found out why. And they believe that global warming is likely to continue again soon. Globa... Read more
As a range of climate change mitigation scenarios are discussed, Univ. of Washington researchers have found that the injection of sulfate particles into the atmosphere to reflect sunlight an... Read more
The strongest trade winds have driven more of the heat from global warming into the oceans; but when those winds slow, that heat will rapidly return to the atmosphere causing an abrupt rise... Read more
Members of the public have a negative view of climate engineering, the deliberate large-scale manipulation of the environment to counteract climate change, according to a new study. The resu... Read more
An international team of climate and social scientists say a new approach to climate preparedness is essential to help people adjust to coming changes Changes are already happening to Earth... Read more
A statement by the U.N.-convened group suggests that tinkering with the atmosphere could be necessary to meet climate goals Attempts to counter global warming by modifying Earth’s atmo... Read more
SCIENTISTS at the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) have devised a novel method to identify suitable new homes for animals under threat from climate change. Conservation scientists used the... Read more
If current climate trends follow historical precedent, ocean ecosystems will be in state of flux for next 10,000 years, according to Scripps Oceanography researchers If history’s closest ana... Read more
Should climate change trigger the upsurge in heat and rainfall that scientists predict, people may face a threat just as perilous and volatile as extreme weather — each other. Researchers fr... Read more
