ENVIRONMENT & CLIMATEA new study based on 23 years of lake data near Rankin Inlet in Nunavut, Canada, reveals an unusual behavior on how these lakes respond to climate change.
A new study reveals how warmer global climates could create more serious mutations that have worse effects on organisms, affecting their prospects for survival in the future.
Researchers might have discovered why sea stars have been dying all around the world for the past seven years, with some species pushed to the brink of extinction.
Climate change is rapidly changing the Arctic region. As the snow is melting, it creates a new ecosystem different from what it was known as decades ago.
Solar geoengineering, or reflecting the Sun's radiation back to space, is one of many proposed solutions to global warming. However, cloud simulations revealed that in the long-term, there may be devastating consequences.
Scientists monitoring several glaciers in China reveal the consequences of climate change. For years, several research teams from the Chinese Academy of Sciences and other environmental groups have kept track of glaciers and mountains are affected by climate change.
Marine heatwaves, nicknamed "blobs" by the NOAA, have become alarmingly frequent in the past few years. The largest and warmest blob detected off the coast of California has grown to about the size of Canada.
Researchers believe that the spike in fatal shark attacks is due to climate change affecting the ocean's temperatures. The 7th fatal attack this year is the highest spike in cases in the past 50 years.
Climate change has been responsible for water-related events such as tropical storms, heaving rains, snowfall, flooding, and even drought. The NOAA recently announced their forecast for America's winter: colder temperatures in the north and a drier season in the south.
Global warming causes a phenomenon called the urban heat island effect. A recent study sheds light on the importance of urban planning involving vegetation to lower urban temperatures.
American pikas, small mammals mostly living in high-altitude and cool habitats, defy previous predictions that climate change will force them to move to higher and cooler places until there is no more and their species die out, according to a new study.
Human activities causing global warming comes with grave circumstances such as this year's wildfires, floods, droughts, and tropical storms. The World Meteorological Organization just released a report assessing how much international humanitarian aid may be needed in the coming years.
