Increased Number of Plant Species Responding to Global Warming
A new study from a team of biologists suggests that many wild plant species are feeling the effects of global warming, even the species that…
Many Mammals in Western Hemisphere are Unlikely to Outrun Climate Change
A new study from the University of Washington shows whether mammals in the Western Hemisphere will actually be able to move to new areas suitable…
Support for Climate Change Policies Dwindling
A new Stanford survey suggests that support for policies intended to reduce future climate change has dropped by 10 percent over the last two years….
Southern Ocean Research Shows Decrease in Dense Antarctic Bottom Water
The latest research from a team of scientists shows that the amount of dense Antarctic Bottom Water is roughly 40% of what it was when…
Particulate Pollution Created ‘Warming Hole’ that Delayed Climate Change
In what may seem like a strange twist on global warming and greenhouse gas effects, Harvard researchers discovered that particulate pollution created a “warming hole”…
Changes in Ocean Salinity and the Water Cycle Could Affect Food Supplies
While scientists continue to monitor climate change and the cause and effect on the environment, a new study from the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory looks…
Study Blames Warm Ocean Currents for Majority of Ice Loss in Antarctica
