New representations of clouds are making models more sensitive to carbon dioxide. As scientists work to determine why some of the latest climate models suggest…
Mangrove trees – valuable coastal ecosystems found in Florida and other warm climates – won’t survive sea-level rise by 2050 if greenhouse gas emissions aren’t…
Rise of carbon dioxide unabated: Seasonal peak reaches 417 parts per million at Mauna Loa observatory Atmospheric carbon dioxide measured at Mauna Loa Observatory reached…
Warming events are increasing in magnitude and severity, threatening many ecosystems worldwide. As the global temperatures continue to climb, it also raises uncertainties as to…
Solar geoengineering proposals will weaken extratropical storm tracks in both hemispheres, scientists find. How can the world combat the continued rise in global temperatures? How…
Global warming is causing species to search for more temperate environments in which to migrate to, but it is marine species – according to the…
Multiple factors joined forces to devastate the Great Barrier Reef in 2016. A squad of climate-related factors is responsible for the massive Australian coral bleaching…
US Gulf Coast among regions hit with conditions not expected for decades. Most everyone knows that humid heat is harder to handle than the “dry”…
An international study led by Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTU Singapore) scientists found that the global mean sea-level rise could exceed 1 meter by 2100…
Greater tropical rainfall may increase microbes’ release of CO2 from soils into air. A study in the May 6, 2020, issue of Nature indicates the…
The lightness of water vapor buffers climate warming in the tropics. Conventional knowledge has it that warm air rises while cold air sinks. But a…
Using the most advanced Earth-observing laser instrument NASA has ever flown in space, a team of scientists led by the University of Washington has made…
Ice loss from Antarctica and Greenland account for roughly a half-inch of sea level rise between 2003 and 2019. Using the most advanced Earth-observing laser…
A new study from University of Michigan climate researchers concludes that some of the latest-generation climate models may be overly sensitive to carbon dioxide increases…
Climate change and warming seas are transforming tropical coral reefs and undoing decades of knowledge about how to protect these delicate and vital ecosystems. Many…
The Arctic Ocean in summer will very likely be ice free before 2050, at least temporally. The efficacy of climate-protection measures will determine how often…
UCI, NASA JPL project tracking Earth-sensing satellite turnover yields striking results. During the exceptionally warm Arctic summer of 2019, Greenland lost 600 billion tons of…
GRACE, GRACE-FO Satellite Data Track Ice Loss at the Poles Greenland and Antarctica are melting — but how quickly and which areas are most affected?…
