How Human Error Causes Extreme Heatwaves

The hottest day ever documented in the United Kingdom was July 19, with temperatures exceeding 40 °C (104 °F). The heatwave is an early preview of what meteorologists predict will be typical summer weather in the United Kingdom in 2050.

Marine and Terrestrial Extinction Caused By Global Climate Change

A Tohoku University professor emeritus has found proof referring to a significant connection between the magnitude of mass extinctions and global temperature changes throughout geologic time.

Cutting down Carbon Emissions Could Reduce Heat-Related Child Mortality in Africa

The annual death rate of children under five years old could double to about 38,000 by 2049 compared with the decade 2005–2014, without cuts to rising carbon emissions, a study estimates.

Earth’s Oceans with High Marine Biodiversity Threatened by Future Warming

An international team of scientists led by researchers from the University of Adelaide has revealed that rates of future warming threaten marine life in more than 70 per cent of the most biodiverse-rich areas of Earth's oceans.

Study Assesses Effects of Climate Warming and Water Management on West Florida's Continental Shelf

The continental shelf is the submerged extension of a continent and as such it is at the crossroad of terrestrial, oceanic and atmospheric influences. This confluence is the lead driver of the high biological productivity that often characterizes the continental shelf regions. Their productivity is not only critical to the ecosystems that it sustains but also to the livelihood of coastal communities such as tourism, fishing, aquaculture and more.

CSU Researchers Report Direct Observations of Size-Resolved Ice Nucleating Particles in the Central Arctic

While climate change is taking effect everywhere on Earth, the Arctic Circle is feeling those effects most of all, in the form of glacial melt, permafrost thaw and sea ice decline.

Global Warming Makes Pine Trees More Susceptible to Disease

The high heat and low water conditions produced by global warming weaken pine trees' resistance to disease by hindering their ability to mount an effective defense at the same time that pathogenic fungi in their tissues become more aggressive, new research suggests.

The Arctic is Heating Up Four Times Faster than Global Warming Rate, Analysis Shows

A new analysis of observed temperatures shows the Arctic is heating up more than four times faster than the rate of global warming. The trend has stepped upward steeply twice in the last 50 years, a finding missed by all but four of 39 climate models.
