A new study is shedding light on just how much ice could be lost around Antarctica if the international community fails to urgently rein in planet-heating emissions, bolstering arguments for bolder…
Large-scale weather patterns and urban overheating are interacting to make Sydney’s inland suburbs up to 10°C warmer than coastal areas during extreme heat events.
‘Unimaginable amounts’ of water will flow into oceans if that temperature rise occurs and ice buffers vanish, warn UK scientists.
More than a third of the vast floating platforms of ice surrounding …
From 1880, the Earth's average surface temperature has risen by 0.07°C every decade.
Evidence shows that key historical developments such as industrial revolutions contributed significantly to…
If we want to understand global heating, we have to examine ocean temperature trends.

The impact of greenhouse gas emissions on global temperatures would have been even larger if were not for the cooling impact of air pollution, study finds.
A “human fingerprint” covers the global…
Abstract
Research reported during the past decade has shown that global warming is roughly proportional to the total amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. This makes it possible to…
Warmest temperatures since 1900 have all occurred within the past seven years, according to Noaa’s annual Arctic report card.
The Arctic’s rapid transformation into a less frozen, hotter and…
The change will take thousands of years, but we only have a century to stop it.
Antarctica contains more than half of the world's freshwater in its sprawling, frozen ice sheet, but humanity's…
A more stable ocean sounds idyllic, but it creates a dangerous feedback loop for our warming planet.
Humans have made the oceans more stable, and the result will be more extreme weather and the…
Global warming is deepening blankets of warmer water that alter ocean currents, hinder absorption of carbon, intensify storms and disrupt biological cycles.
Near the surface of the ocean, global…
It may be best near-term way to remove CO2, say scientists, but cutting fossil fuel use remains critical.
Spreading rock dust on farmland could suck billions of tonnes of carbon dioxide from the air…
Global inequality between countries has been decreasing over the last few decades, particularly due to rapid economic growth in India and China. In contrast, recent studies highlight the role of…
NOTE: Importantly, as we continue to be mindful of the well-being of ourselves and others during the coronavirus outbreak, gardening can be as solitary and calming a pursuit as you’re likely to find…
A growing number of studies show that warming temperatures are increasing mortality in creatures ranging from birds in the Mojave Desert, to mammals in Australia, to bumblebees in North America.…
