According to Penn State researchers, climate change affects wild bees more than disturbances to their habitats. Their findings indicate that mitigating land-use issues alone will not be adequate to safeguard these vital pollinators.
New research by the New England Aquarium reveals that the warming of oceans due to climate change has made baby sharks be born smaller, exhausted, malnourished, and into environments already hard for them to thrive in.
In a new study, Stanford researchers report that intensifying precipitation contributed one-third of the financial costs of flooding in the United States over the past three decades, totaling almost $75 billion of the estimated $199 billion in flood damages from 1988 to 2017.
As the planet continues to warm, the twin challenges of diminishing water supply and growing energy demand are intensifying. But because water and energy are inextricably linked, as we try to adapt to one challenge - say, by getting more water via desalination or water recycling - we may be worsening the other challenge by choosing energy-intensive processes.
Researchers from Michigan State University (MSU) are heading an international effort to provide the first global view of the effect of climate change on drought severity and water availability in the upcoming years.
Britain has burned more coal in the last seven days than at any time in nearly a year, suggesting that progress toward one of the UK’s key climate goals is stalling. Figures from National Grid ESO show how fossil fuel use spiked in the last week with high demand in cold weather conditions. Gas and coal regularly hit 60% of electricity generation. Day-ahead prices reached £1,000/MWh last week, as National Grid issued repeated notices about power supplies.
Positive "tipping points" could spark cascading changes that accelerate action on climate change, experts say.
The number of "extreme streamflow" events observed in river systems have increased significantly across the United States and Canada over the last century, according to a study from Dartmouth College.
The coastline of Israel is one of the warmest areas in the Mediterranean Sea. Here, most marine species have been at the limits of their tolerance to high temperatures for a long time - and now they are already beyond those limits.
El Niño events have long been perceived as a driver for low rainfall in the winter and spring in Hawai'i, creating a six-month wet-season drought. However, a recent study by researchers in the University of Hawai'i at Manoa School of Ocean and Earth Science and Technology (SOEST) revealed the connection between Hawai'i winter rainfall and El Niño is not as straightforward as previously thought.
