According to researchers, more than 300 million people who live in low-lying river deltas mostly found in less developed nations are exposed to more flooding from global warming.

Climate Models Reveal Natural Causes of Little Ice Age

09.18.2020 07:50 AM

Climate change is not just about the effect of greenhouse gas emissions, but natural events in the climate system as well. European researchers analyze the flow of Arctic sea ice as the possible trigger of the Little Ice Age.

Google, Facebook, Microsoft to Go Carbon-Free by 2030

09.15.2020 08:20 AM

Google, Facebook, and Microsoft are just a few of the tech giants that have plants to run on carbon-free technologies by 2030. Google made new commitments following the recent wildfires in the West Coast.

Satellite Imaging Reveals Severe Damage in Two Antarctic Glaciers

09.14.2020 22:26 PM

International researchers have collaborated to analyze the severe damage of ice shelves in Antarctica. If the two major glaciers collapse and melt, it will affect sea rise levels globally.

Trees Grow Faster With Carbon Dioxide, but They Also Die Earlier

09.10.2020 08:00 AM

Forests absorb nearly 30 percent of the world's carbon gas emissions, making them natural carbon dioxide sinks. Researchers have recently analyzed why trees mature faster but die younger.

Arctic 'Zombie' Wildfires Release Megatons of Carbon Dioxide

09.07.2020 22:50 PM

The 'zombie' wildfires, not directly caused by human activity, in the Arctic have been the largest fires recorded over the last 17 years. The amount of carbon and methane emitted by these large fires are record-breaking and take several months to contain.

Alaska Salmon Grew Smaller Over the Past 60 Years

08.19.2020 08:37 AM

A new study found that salmon returning to rivers in Alaska has grown drastically smaller in the past 60 years - and their time at sea appears to be the reason.

Tropical Soils Are Highly Sensitive to Climate Change

08.13.2020 09:20 AM

Tropical soils play a significant role in the Earth's natural carbon cycle. Scientists measure how much worse carbon emissions have gotten in recent years by keeping track of soil temperatures.

West Nile Cases to Increase in L.A. Coastal Area Due to Climate Change

08.06.2020 06:40 AM

With temperatures getting significantly warmer each year due to global warming, mosquitoes carrying deadly viruses are thriving in areas like Los Angeles, California. The same pattern is happening on a global scale.

5 Strange Sounds No One Can Still Explain

08.02.2020 21:02 PM

Some of history's mysterious sounds have been solved, as the case with the infamous "Bloop" of the 90s, now known to be caused by Antarctic ice cracking and falling into the ocean, picked up a distance away. Here are four of the strange sounds picked up and no one can still explain.

New Guidelines Can Help Farmers Deal With Climate Change

07.30.2020 06:40 AM

A collaborative report identifies indicators that can help farmers in the agriculture sector under five major categories, such as temperature patterns and the welfare of livestock. Teaching farmers and land managers the effects of climate change can help with major decision-making.

40-Year Study Features Adaptability of Brittlebush to Warmer Environments

07.28.2020 07:20 AM

Long term observation has found that one native plant from the Mojave Desert, the brittlebush, has exhibited remarkable adaptation capabilities despite rising temperatures.

Atmosphere in Antarctica Is Cooling Ten Times Faster Due to Carbon Emissions

07.28.2020 06:40 AM

Scientists discovered that greenhouse gases do not have the same effect on the lower atmosphere as they are cooling the mesosphere while radiating the excess energy into the space.

An Active Methane Seep in Antarctica May Help Explain Climate Change

07.23.2020 10:20 AM

Scientists discover an active methane seep in Antarctica and have monitored its evolution. Its unique factors can help explain the role of methane-consuming microbes and how marine methane enters the atmosphere.

Polar Bears Could Be Extinct by 2100, Climate Change to Blame

07.20.2020 23:58 PM

Polar bears could inevitably face extinction by 2100, according to researchers. With climate change continually melting sea ice in the arctic, experts are worried that the species might not be able to survive.

Fossil Fuels and Cows Are Contributing to More Methane Emissions Than Previously Thought

07.16.2020 09:31 AM

Scientists are optimistic that controlling human activity and implementing guidelines for companies can make a significant impact on lowering the level of methane emissions.

Phytoplankton Are Causing a 'Significant Regime Shift' in the Arctic Ocean

07.10.2020 00:56 AM

Global warming is causing the Arctic Ocean to host phytoplankton blooms, the rapid growth of microalgae. This imbalance is causing a 'significant regime shift,' experts say.

New Study Sheds Light On 'Cold Blob' That Keeps Getting Colder Despite Global Warming

07.03.2020 08:54 AM

There's one place on Earth that does not seem to follow the trend of global warming because it keeps on getting colder rather than hotter. A new study sheds light on why this 'cold blob' resists the trend.

Why Is the South Pole Warming Faster Than the Rest of the World?, Details Explained in Study

06.30.2020 00:00 AM

A group of researchers has determined that the South Pole is warming at a rate three times faster than the rest of the world. They believe that human activity may have something to do with it and greenhouse gas emissions that could cover up the heating effect of carbon pollution all over the region.

Tiny Polynesian Islands May Not Be Threatened by Climate Change After All: New Study Gives Better Perspective

06.11.2020 06:45 AM

Scientists discover that coral reef islands naturally cope with sea-level rise, contrary to previous claims that these nations are the most vulnerable to climate change.
