New research proves that the Peruvian glacier is shrinking due to climate change.

Instead of 'climate change' or 'global warming,' new research finds another term might be more effective in capturing people's attention.

A new analysis reveals that greenhouse gas emissions in 2010 surpassed even the worst-case scenario envisioned by scientists four years ago.

Using agricultural waste to make biochar has the potential to reduce 12% of global CO2 emissions annually.

For Earth Day, observers weigh in on the Evangelical Climate Initiative, a program that began as a frustrated response to the National Association of Evangelicals' reluctance to adopt a position on global warming. The initiative hopes to motivate evangelicals to be more Earth-friendly and use their political clout to influence environmental policy.

By 2060 Phoenix Arizona will have 132 days a year over 100F. Dallas will 55 and Pecos Texas 101 days. My view about problems: We should solve them. If the Earth really does heat up substantially then we should pull the CO2 back out of the atmosphere while also releasing cooling gases. If its practical we should also raise the albedo (surface reflectivity) of the planet. Right now cities should change their zoning laws and roads policies to make buildings, roads, and other surfaces more reflective. No more dark buildings. Use light colors of concrete, white shingles, and other surfaces that reflect more light. That would be beneficial even if the Earth was not heating up. Hot cities are unpleasant...

A two-decade-long dry spell that has parched much of the western United States is turning into one of the deepest 'megadroughts' of the past 1,200 years.

Do you know which main gases are contained in the composition of air? Under climate change and global warming, carbon dioxide ...

(Virginia Institute of Marine Science) New study indicates the increase in rainfall forecast by global climate models is likely to hasten the release of carbon dioxide from tropical soils, further intensifying global warming by adding to human emissions of this greenhouse gas into Earth's atmosphere.

A new scientific study published Monday found that global warming is fueling a destructive algal bloom that is disrupting fisheries in the Arabian sea.

As the tropics get wetter, soils are likely experience greater rates of respiration and decomposition, limiting the carbon storage abilities of tropical soils and intensifying global warming.

By Jesse Singal. Study fails to replicate 2011 result, suggesting that word choice matters less as issue has become more politicised.

The advantage of Economic Decarbonisation is that it intertwines with the modernization of all industries. Excessive dependence on fossil fuels does more damage than good, it may guarantee temporary energy security but the side-effects are way too disastrous to continue using this as ‘energy- steroids’.

Emission of the green house at the current levels will cause catastrophe in most parts of the world with some ecosystems expected to collapse by 2030.

For years, climate contrarians have pointed to snowfall and cold weather to question the scientific reality of human-induced climate change.

More than 100 world leaders converged upon New York City today to discuss international efforts to reduce carbon emissions and combat climate change. The list of speakers at the UN Climate Summit included U.S. President Barack Obama, UK Prime Minister David Cameron, Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, French President François Hollande, and Chinese Vice Premier Zhang Gaoli.

There could be a planetary threshold beyond which the earth will keep warming even if we stop pumping out more fossil fuels - the so-called 'Hothouse Earth' scenario

Mountainsides are becoming less stable as glaciers retreat, leading to more landslides that can trigger massive - but localised - tsunamis

Lessons from the deep past reveal that human-induced warming could create more extreme conditions than Earth has ever experienced

We now know that past periods when Earth cooled and warmed were only regional. The finding rebuffs the myth that today's planet-wide warming is a natural blip

2019 was the hottest year on record for Europe as global warming trends continue, major analysis has shown.

Meltwater caused a 500-metre slab of ice to cascade down an Alaskan valley — and researchers say warmer summers are making similar events more likely

A 1 degree Celsius rise corresponded to a 1.4 percent increase in suicides

Talk about a lose-lose situation: On one hand, not taking any action to repair the hole would allow harmful UV radiation to percolate through; on the other hand, helping to accelerate its recovery could strengthen global warming by

Hosed by this theory or greenwashed? Photo by Tony Stl via Flickr On ABC's 20/20 last Friday, Nathan Myhrvold, Microsoft's former chief technology officer, and founder/CEO of Intellectual Ventures (IV), resurrected the idea of stretching a 2-inch

Another report on another geoengineering method that is likely too risky to try and utterly not cost-effective: Injecting aerosols into the atmosphere to slow warming (which would do absolutely nothing about ocean acidification, by the way).

The United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) was expected to delivery its fifth Assessment Report (AR5) next month, but over the past weekend, a draft of that report was leaked to Reuters, which reported the early findings.

This rapper nails it, imho.

That's what a lot of people are saying as new pollution rules for 2020 get closer.

The harshest snowstorms along the Eastern Seaboard will remain as frequent in a warming world.

The vase designed and named after Finnish designer Alvar Aalto is an icon among the design-savvy. The now-classic piece was released in 1937 at the World Fair in Paris. Today, the vase is produced by Iittala, which has slightly changed the size and

This little boy looks like he might be blogging over spilled milk, in fact he's concerned about the future of his environment. The Global Warming Rug by Mexican design cooperative NEL, featuring Emiliano Godoy, has created quite a

Small changes in weather can have big consequences for many animals, including the beautiful Magellanic penguin found at the tip of South-America.

Big bucks go to the teams that come up with an air conditioner that's five times as good.

When 16-year-old Sam Allen realized his devotion to fashion and the fight against global warming could potentially work wonders together he enlisted the help of a few friends and set out to create a line of clothing that would make a difference… Enter

Will the real Marco Rubio please stand up? Political no-man's land has left the Florida senator with few options other than running directly at Obama and throwing few stones inside his own party.

Computer simulations reveal climate change could awaken an ancient Indian Ocean El Niño by 2100, but the phenomenon could occur as early as 2050 if the current warming trends continue.

A damning study found global warming is driving temperatures and humidity to levels exceeding what the human body can deal with.

This week we have stories on ancient hominids that may have coexisted with early modern humans, methane seeps in the Arctic that could slow global warming, and understanding color without words with Online News Intern Lindzi Wessel. John McGann joins Sarah Crespi to discuss long-standing myths about our ability to smell. It turns out people are probably a lot better at detecting odors than scientists thought!
