New technique unexpectedly finds that black carbon in rivers and oceans differs significantly. In understanding the global carbon cycle, “black carbon” — decay-resistant carbon molecules…
Scientists have created an “artificial leaf” to fight climate change by inexpensively converting harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) into a useful alternative fuel. The new technology,…
A global coalition of scientists led by William J. Ripple and Christopher Wolf of Oregon State University says “untold human suffering” is unavoidable without deep…
Flexible jaws may help wombats better survive in a changing world by adapting to climate change’s effect on vegetation and new diets in conservation sanctuaries….
Almost 75% of 184 Paris Agreement pledges were judged insufficient to slow climate change; Only 28 European Union nations and 7 others will reduce emissions…
There’s no place like home: Many insects moving north in response to climate change find they have nowhere to go in Britain’s intensively managed landscapes,…
There’s a speed limit on the damage surface ponds can do to ice shelves, but that doesn’t mean they’re not dangerous. Dangers to ancient Antarctic…
Models offer guidance for state and national policymakers designing climate action plans. A new Harvard study shows that to achieve the biggest improvements in public…

Did an extraterrestrial impact trigger the extinction of ice-age animals? University of South Carolina archaeologist finds evidence in South Carolina to support controversial theory. A…
Current approaches to carbon capture can increase air pollution and are not efficient at reducing carbon in the atmosphere, according to research from Mark Z….
UC Riverside-led team’s discovery keeps plants plump and offers hope for crops despite drought. A University of California Riverside-led team has created a chemical to…
For the first time, an EPFL-led team of scientists has measured the total amount of CO2 emissions from mountain streams worldwide. This research builds on…
The process could work on the gas at any concentrations, from power plant emissions to open air. A new way of removing carbon dioxide from…
Scientists have discovered why climate change may be contributing to the decline of some British butterflies and moths, such as Silver-studded Blue and High Brown…
We must wake up to devastating impact of nitrogen, say scientists. Dozens of international experts write open letter to UN Secretary-General. More than 150 top…
Study finds even the tallest ice cliffs should support their own weight rather than collapsing catastrophically. Antarctica’s ice sheet spans close to twice the area…
Greenhouse gases may get more attention, but aerosols — from car exhaust to volcanic eruptions — also have a major impact on the Earth’s climate….
