How a volcano may have hidden sea level rise all this time.
Silly trees, can't they set the thermostat lower, like the rest of us?
Developing countries, yet again, will be the most vulnerable in the face of such risks.
DiCaprio absolutely killed it -- and we now have the numbers to prove it.
These risks will become serious in a couple of decades, but we need to act now.
A long-standing assumption that as the planet warms, the biosphere releases more CO2 in a positive feedback loop was confirmed by researchers.
The main cause lies in the lack of available data from the Arctic.
The findings could have implications for the survival of modern animals in the face of global warming.
The UK seems hell bent on making unfortunate decissions.
Turning air into rock.
By limiting the growth of their roots, grassy crops conserve soil water during drought.
These movements could in turn help speed up global warming.
Antartica's penguins are in trouble.
An open letter to U.S. policy makers signed by 31 leading nonpartisan scientific societies reaffirms the reality of man-made climate change.
Global warming is greening the planet, but there's only so much CO2 plants can absorb.
2016 will go in history as the first year carbon emission stay above 400ppm all year round. I don't think anyone's proud about this.
It was a cute rodent, off the northern coast of Australia, on an island by the Great Barrier Reef. Now it's gone, because of us.
You can only postpone the inevitable.
No later than October, Climeworks expects to open the first ever commercial carbon dioxide capture plant in the world, near Zurich.
A startling report by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) says food crops like wheat and maize are generating toxins to protect themselves from extreme weather. Ingesting food made from toxic crops can lead to neurological diseases, but the greatest concern is cancer says Alex Ezeh, executive director of the African Population Health and Research Center.
Australia's government wants to stick its head in the sand and simply ignore reality instead of making actual efforts to protect the reef.
A study of 84 reefs along the Great Barrier Reef revealed one-third of the coral reefs of the central and northern regions have died due to a huge bleaching event. Corals to the north of Cairns, which account for two-thirds of the Great Barrier Reef, are also massively affected with 35 percent dead or dying.
A hot topic for a reason, global warming and climate change will play a major role in the entrepreneurial future of aspiring business Millennials.
In the past decade, ice extent at the two poles couldn't be more different. The Arctic has seen its 13 smallest maximum ice extents in the last 13 years, and since 1979 lost 620,000 square miles of winter sea ice cover, an area more than twice the size of Texas. Meanwhile, in Antarctica, ice cover has actually increased despite warming trends
On May 8, Germany generated a record high amount of renewable energy. Solar, wind, hydro and biomass plants together generated 55 GW of power or 87% of the demand thanks to unusually good winds and sunny conditions.
One energy expert from the U.K. made headlines with his bold comments. He says oil companies have only 10 years to adapt and make a shift away from fossil fuels -- their primary business, after all -- otherwise these will collapse. The market will not be forgiving.
The Isle de Jean Charles that lies on the Gulf coast of Louisiana is sinking. In less than 70 years, over the 90 percent of its landmass has washed away from erosion triggered by industry, as well public works which redirected rivers. Then there were the hurricanes.
Climate refugees may become more and more common.
If you're old enough, you might remember how some flowers around where you live blossom earlier or that summers and winters are unusually harsh. In short, freak weather is more common to the point it's becoming the new norm. Human memory is fallible, which is why we keep records of things like temperature, humidity, concentration of gases in the atmosphere and so on. These record don't go back that long though -- maybe only a century. Some, however, go way back and scientists are using these to keep track of climate change over the centuries.
Scientists have also quantified the effects of climate change as they relate to oxygen depletion. Their analysis suggests that by 2030 oxygen dissolved due to climate change will overpower the natural variability in the ocean, putting further stress on marine life.
As CO2 builds up in the atmosphere, this warms the planet, acidifies the ocean and melts glaciers. It also promotes plant growth -- after all, that's why it's called the "greenhouse gas effect". A huge collaborative effort spanning 32 authors from 24 institutions in eight countries found that in the last 33 years the area occupied by vegetation has significantly increased.
At a high-level signing ceremony in New York, more than 170 countries signed up to the landmark COP21 climate changed deal first adopted last December in Paris. Many media outlets praised the signing event, where 60 heads of state were in attendance as well as celebrities, like Leonardo DiCaprio. It is indeed a great achievement in fighting climate change on a global level, but only a small step in many yet to come.
A new study suggests that in the United States, residents might experience three to nine more days of unhealthy ozone levels by 2050.
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin falsely claimed she is “as much a scientist” as Bill Nye. She's not.
