Antarctica, the ice-covered continent, is not resilient to climate change. A phenomenon known as the polar amplification effect causes temperature rise at high latitudes to be significantly stronger than that of the global mean temperature.
Climate change may expedite the release of “time-traveling” pathogens trapped in melting permafrost and ice for millennia. Their emergence raises the stakes for the global environment and even humanity.
Floods and landslides in Sri Lanka could be better predicted by applying weather forecasting techniques currently used in India, a study has found.
A new study carried out by Simon Fraser University researchers emphasizes the need for immediate measures to limit methane emissions if global climate change goals are to be met.
Recent research coming out of Pennsylvania State University reveals that all plants and lichens outlined as endangered under the Endangered Species Act are vulnerable to climate change, but little effort has been made to address this threat directly.
Important ocean currents that redistribute heat, cold and precipitation between the tropics and the northernmost parts of the Atlantic region will shut down around the year 2060 if current greenhouse gas emissions persist.
About 15 years ago, researchers reported that the timing of spring in high-Arctic Greenland had advanced at some of the fastest rates of change ever seen anywhere in the world.
The Bureau of Meteorology and CSIRO have unveiled a new name for their digital information product 'My Climate View', along with updates to help more farmers make informed decisions now to build climate resilience for decades to come.
Unlike what one imagines about the effect of climate change in Europe, a colder future may be coming in a few days. In recent research, scientists from the University of Copenhagen’s Niels Bohr Institute and Department of Mathematical Sciences forecast that the system of ocean currents that currently distribute heat and cold between the North Atlantic region and tropics will entirely stop if people keep emitting the same levels of greenhouse gases as they do right now.
A Chapman University scientist and his colleagues have determined how the Earth responds as it heats up due to climate change.
