…intense and destructive by climate change, like Maria and Irma. The Biden-Harris Administration’s response to climate change matches the magnitude of the threat: a whole of government, all-hands-on-deck approach to…
Climate change is causing a surge in intense, slow-moving storms, with scientists predicting they could increase 14-fold over land by the end of the century. Climate change is driving a…
…land-use and climate factors. “To really understand the effects of weather and climate, particularly as weather patterns become more variable with climate change, we need to use these very large,…
…from land use change and further accelerating the rate of climate change. Co-author of the paper, Professor James Clark from the University of York Department of Chemistry, said: “Biomass fuels…
…animals will respond to ongoing climate change. “We expect climate change to bring more extreme weather in the future. Animals will need to cope with this extreme weather as they…
…not increased as expected over arid and semi-arid regions of the world as the climate has warmed. The findings are particularly puzzling because climate models have been predicting that the…
…future climate change linked to the stratosphere, with important implications for life on Earth. Man-made climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing us today, but uncertainty in the…
…high potential climate change has for disrupting natural systems. It also underscores the challenges ecologists face in predicting the long-term consequences of climate change for many species simultaneously. Reference: “Tracking…
…climate engineers. “Creating false hope in the ability of charismatic species to be climate engineers may act to further delay the urgent behavioral change needed to avert catastrophic climate change…
…climate change impacts across different regions and seasons, revealing that the impact of climate change on forest loss varied greatly between different locations and seasons. Far greater forest losses were…
…before the climate gets hot enough for them to die from overheating.” Reference: “How does climate change cause extinction?” by Abigail E. Cahill, Matthew E. Aiello-Lammens, M. Caitlin Fisher-Reid, Xia…
A healthy coral reef in 2012 in the Northern Mariana Islands. A year later, the reef was dead. The reef is a symbol of how climate change is already transforming…
…data from climate simulations created by the international Fifth Coupled Model Intercomparison Project. These climate simulations used the best physical models of the climate system available to provide forecasts of…
…study dismisses climate change as the sole reason, emphasizing that human colonization significantly contributed to the megafauna’s decline. The entire endemic megafauna of Madagascar and the Mascarene islands was eliminated…
…ecosystem. The study is a reminder that as the future impacts of climate change are holistically assessed, feedback from changes in ecosystems must also be included. “We would expect climate…
…Earth science and climate change. ESA’s Acting Director of Earth Observation Programmes, Toni Tolker-Nielsen, said, “We are already witnessing the effects of climate change through rising temperatures, rising sea levels,…
…recent changes in average local temperatures, finding that public opinion of climate change may shift in response to the personal experience of climate change. Human beings around the world are…
…such as the wooly mammoth, took the last. “Whatever this was, it did not cause the extinctions,” Tankersley says. “Rather, this likely caused climate change. And climate change forced this…
