Climate change is one of the most pressing issues of our time, with profound impacts on the environment, economy, and society as a whole. Our Climate Change category provides the latest news, research, and insights on this critical topic, including updates on greenhouse gas emissions, rising temperatures, extreme weather events, and the impacts of climate change on ecosystems and human health. We also cover the latest developments in climate policy, including international agreements, national policies, and local initiatives to mitigate and adapt to the effects of climate change. From the latest research on carbon capture and storage technologies to the development of renewable energy sources and sustainable agriculture practices, our coverage of Climate Change provides a comprehensive look at the latest advancements in climate science and technology. Whether you’re a scientist, policymaker, or just concerned about the future of our planet, our Climate Change category has everything you need to stay informed and engaged.
Claims that climate change occurs naturally conflict with recent trends in ocean temperatures, which are indicative of human influence. New oceanic research provides clear evidence…
Global warming is unlocking methane reserves, the size of which remains uncertain. A young researcher at the University of Copenhagen found significant amounts of this…
Typically viewed as unrelated problems, global warming and plastic pollution are instead inextricably trapped in a “vicious circle” where one feeds the other, researchers in…
Study indicates that changes in rainfall patterns, rather than shifts in temperature, account for trends in soil moisture. Soil moisture levels play a crucial role…
Experts highlight the connection between climate change and infectious diseases, urging medical professionals to prepare for new disease patterns and advocate for climate action. A…
Trees are struggling to sequester heat-trapping carbon dioxide (CO2) in warmer, drier climates, meaning that they may no longer serve as a solution for offsetting…
Critical infrastructure is threatened as sinking land amplifies global sea level rise. In many parts of the U.S. East Coast, rising seas driven by melting…
UC Irvine researchers suggest we may be underestimating the severity of sea level rise. Researchers at the University of California, Irvine and NASA’s Jet Propulsion…
A recent study has found that climate change is impacting the timing of river flows, especially in the higher northern regions. River flow patterns, which…
In the process of converting plants into fuel, the initial phase — decomposing the plant material — has consistently posed the greatest challenge. Recent research…
Mangroves and salt marshes capture significant quantities of carbon, thereby reducing the greenhouse effect. New research from the University of Gothenburg shows that these environments…
Scientists have discovered that terrestrial ecosystems are more prone to collapse from significant animal life loss than marine ecosystems, with the impacts lasting longer on…
Scientists at Tufts University state that soil, which contains 80 percent of the Earth’s carbon, emits more greenhouse gases as droughts cause soils to crack…
Sea ice coverage reached its seasonal minimum in February 2024, tying with 2022 for the second-lowest extent in the satellite record. In the waters around…
