Mediterranean-type climates face immediate drops in rainfall when greenhouse gases rise, but this could be stopped quickly if emissions are cut. This is the finding…
Knowing where emissions are happening and what’s causing them brings us a step closer to being able to forecast the region’s impact on global climate….
Study finds Earth’s oceans contain just the right amount of iron; adding more may not improve their ability to absorb carbon dioxide. Historically, the oceans…
Renewable device could help mitigate climate change, power medical devices. Scientists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have developed a device that uses a natural…
Polar bears are spending more time on land than they did in the 1990s due to reduced sea ice, new University of Washington-led research shows….
Market Needs to Plan for Weather Risk, or Face Extreme Correction Physical climate risk from extreme weather events remains unaccounted for in financial markets. Without…
University of Arizona researchers studied recent extinctions from climate change to estimate the loss of plant and animal species by 2070. Accurately predicting biodiversity loss…
