The Antarctic Canary — the human impact on climate change
As the UK attempts to move towards a low carbon economy, leading scientists and a world expert on sustainable energy in buildings this week discuss the evidence for climate change and possible solutions. view more (2006-09-05)
Some animals won't adapt to climate change
In a fascinating study appearing in the November issue of The American Naturalist, biologists investigated the response of small animals to climate change on a remote sub-Antarctic Island. view more (2006-11-14)
Tracking down abrupt climate changes
In an article in the scientific magazine Nature - Geosciences, the geoscientists Achim Brauer, Peter Dulski and Jörg Negendank, (emeritus Professor) from the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences, Gerald Haug from the DFG-Leibniz Center for Surface Processes and Climate Studies at the University of Potsdam and the ETH in Zurich, and... view more...

Global warming not responsible for malaria increase in East African Highlands
Recent increases in malaria in the East African Highlands cannot be attributed to global warming, researchers at the Department of Zoology at Oxford University have shown. It has long been known that malaria in highland areas is hindered by low temperatures which limit the development of the parasites in the mosquito. Recent upsurges of malaria in... view more...

Fossilized midges provide clues to future climate change
Fossilised midges have helped scientists at the University of Liverpool identify two episodes of abrupt climate change that suggest the UK climate is not as stable as previously thought. view more (2007-07-10)
Paleoecologists offer new insight into how climate change will affect organisms
An article in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Science written by a team of ecologists, including Robert Booth, assistant professor of earth and environmental science at Lehigh University, examines some of the potential problems with current prediction methods and calls for the use of a range of approaches when predicting the impact of... view more...

Man may have caused pre-historic extinctions
New research shows that pre-historic horses in Alaska may have been hunted into extinction by man, rather than by climate change as previously thought. view more (2006-05-05)
Yale report cites emerging carbon finance market
Climate change is an unprecedented global problem and an emerging carbon finance market will play a critical role in addressing it, asserts a newly published Yale report. view more (2008-11-07)
Forests - just how absorbing are they?
Forests form an integral part of the Kyoto Protocol on climate change because they act as terrestrial "sinks" to soak up the carbon emissions that are contributing to global warming. Countries that have ratified the protocol can offset their carbon emissions quota by planting trees, either at home or in developing countries. But how... view more... (2003-03-13)
Are Ice Age relics the next casualty of climate change?
The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) recently launched a four-year study to determine if climate change is affecting populations of a quintessential Arctic denizen: the rare musk ox. view more (2008-04-25)
Met Office appoints new Chief Scientist
Following an open competition, the Met Office announced today that John Mitchell will be its new Chief Scientist. He is expected to take up the appointment in December following Paul Mason`s retirement later this year. John, a world-renowned expert on climate change, and currently Head of Modelling Climate Change at the Hadley Centre has worked... view more... (2002-10-02)
Rapid temperature increases above the Antarctic
A new analysis of weather balloon observations from the last 30 years reveals that the Antarctic has the same 'global warming' signature as that seen across the whole Earth, but is three times larger than that observed globally. view more (2006-03-31)
Sowing a future for peas
New research from the John Innes Centre and the Central Science Laboratory could help breeders to develop pea varieties able to withstand drought stress and climate change. view more (2008-09-17)
Global Warming: changing climate of opinion
In the 1960s, scientists anticipated a `New Ice Age`. Later, they warned of humans triggering a 'Nuclear Winter'. Now, it's 'Global Warming'. Why this change in emphasis? And why did it take 100 years for the theory behind 'Global Warming' to take hold? New research by scientists from the University of Gloucestershire indicates that a remarkable... view more...

Calm before the spawn: Climate change and coral spawning
What's the point of setting up marine reserves to protect coral reefs from pollution, ship groundings and overfishing if climate change could cause far more damage? A study published this week in London in Proceedings of the Royal Society B provides the answer. view more (2009-11-04)
Federal funding gap cited for research on human health impacts due to climate change
Climate change will seriously impact public health, but the United States has yet to allocate adequate research funding to understand and prepare for these impacts, according to a report published in Environmental Health Perspectives, the journal of the U.S. National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences. view more (2009-03-27)
Riding the winds of change
The Inuit have spent thousands of years working and living in the Arctic. However, climate change is forcing them to change the traditional way of doing things. view more (2007-02-20)
Europe's largest climate change experiment launched
Scientists at the University of Liverpool have launched a large scale experiment to monitor the impact of climate change on freshwater systems. view more (2006-01-18)
Plants could override climate change effects on wildfires
The increase in warmer and drier climates predicted to occur under climate change scenarios has led many scientists to also predict a global increase in the number of wildfires. view more (2009-04-22)
Changing ocean conditions led to decline in Alaska's sea lion population
A new study out of Alaska points out the impacts of climate change on marine ecosystems, and the need for increased research and stronger science based management to address future concerns. view more (2007-03-23)
