Declines in Alaska's Chinook Salmon Populations are Partly Tied to Climate-Driven Changes

A new University of Alaska-led study provides the first evidence that declines in many of Alaska's chinook salmon populations can be attributed in part to climate-driven changes in their freshwater habitats.

Current Pandemic Shares Similarities with Global Heating, Species Extinction

The dynamics of the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic share "striking similarities" with the twin environmental crises of global heating and species extinction, argue a team of scientists and policy experts from the UK and US.

Melting Snow is Triggering Fresh CO2 at Higher Rates than Previously Assumed

Studies have shown the Arctic is warming roughly twice as fast as the rest of the world, and its soil holds twice the amount of carbon dioxide as the atmosphere.

Tropical Plants Closer to Equator are at Greater Risk from Climate Change

Tropical plants closer to the equator are most at risk from climate change because it is expected to become too hot for many species to germinate in the next 50 years, UNSW researchers have found.

Accelerating Greenhouse Gas Emissions Contribute to Global Average Temperatures

Over the past 150 years, global warming has more than undone the global cooling that occurred over the past six millennia, according to a major study published June 30 in Nature Research's Scientific Data, "Holocene global mean surface temperature, a multi-method reconstruction approach."
