Arctic spring comes weeks earlier than a decade ago
In the Earth's cold and icy far north, the harsh winters are giving way to spring weeks earlier than they did just a decade ago, researchers have reported in the June 19th issue of Current Biology, published by Cell Press. view more (2007-06-19)
Marine Algae A Weapon Against Global Warming?
"Parforce" an EU-funded research project has discovered a new link between marine algae and climate change. Researchers working on the project found out that iodine vapours, released from algae or plankton, condense over oceans to form aerosols . These aerosols, which tend to counter "global warming", can have a significant impact on... view more... (2002-07-18)
Ice Age North Atlantic temperatures, tropical oceans linked
Sudden shifts in temperature over Greenland and tropical rainfall patterns during the last ice age have been linked for the first time to rapid changes in the salinity of the north Atlantic Ocean, according to research published Oct. 5 in the journal Nature. view more (2006-10-05)
Climate catastrophes in the Solar System
Earth sits between two worlds that have been devastated by climate catastrophes. In the effort to combat global warming, our neighbours can provide valuable insights into the way climate catastrophes affect planets. view more (2007-04-27)
Arctic, antarctic melting may raise sea levels faster than expected
Ice sheets across both the Arctic and Antarctic could melt more quickly than expected this century, according to two studies that blend computer modeling with paleoclimate records. view more (2006-03-24)
2005 Was the Warmest Year in a Century
The year 2005 may have been the warmest year in a century, according to NASA scientists studying temperature data from around the world. view more (2006-01-25)
Global sunscreen won't save corals
Emergency plans to counteract global warming by artificially shading the Earth from incoming sunlight might lower the planet's temperature a few degrees, but such "geoengineering" solutions would do little to stop the acidification of the world oceans that threatens coral reefs and other marine life. view more (2009-06-17)
Annual plants may cope with global warming better than long-living species
Countering Charles Darwin's view that evolution occurs gradually, UC Irvine scientists have discovered that plants with short life cycles can evolutionally adapt in just a few years to climate change. view more (2007-01-09)
A bumpy shift from ice house to greenhouse
The transition from an ice age to an ice-free planet 300 million years ago was highly unstable, marked by dips and rises in carbon dioxide, extreme swings in climate and drastic effects on tropical vegetation, according to a study published in the journal Science Jan. 5. view more (2007-01-05)
Climate change signal detected in the Indian Ocean
The signature of climate change over the past 40 years has been identified in temperatures of the Indian Ocean near Australia. view more (2007-05-31)
Future Risk of Hurricanes: The Role of Climate Change
Researchers are homing in on the hurricane-prone Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean Sea to assess the likely changes, between now and the middle of the century, in the frequency, intensity, and tracks of these powerful storms. Initial results are expected early next year. view more (2008-10-09)
Decline in greenhouse gas emissions would reduce sea-level rise, save Arctic Sea ice
The threat of global warming can still be greatly diminished if nations cut emissions of heat-trapping greenhouse gases by 70 percent this century, according to a new analysis. view more (2009-04-15)
Despite Awareness of Global Warming Americans Concerned More about Local Environment
Last week, British Prime Minister Gordon Brown declared climate change a top international threat, and Al Gore urged politicians to get involved to fight global warming. Results from a recent survey conducted by a University of Missouri professor reveal that the U.S. public, while aware of the deteriorating global environment, is concerned... view more...

Avoiding the hothouse and the icehouse
By controlling emissions of fossil fuels we may be able to greatly delay the start of the next ice age, new research from the Niels Bohr Institute at University of Copenhagen concludes. view more (2009-02-11)
Study helps clarify role of soil microbes in global warming
Current models of global climate change predict warmer temperatures will increase the rate that bacteria and other microbes decompose soil organic matter, a scenario that pumps even more heat-trapping carbon into the atmosphere. view more (2008-10-29)
Warming could free far more carbon from high Arctic soil than earlier thought
Scientists studying the effects of carbon on climate warming are very likely underestimating, by a vast amount, how much soil carbon is available in the high Arctic to be released into the atmosphere, new University of Washington research shows. view more (2005-12-06)
New model revises estimates of terrestrial carbon dioxide uptake
Researchers at the University of Illinois have developed a new model of global carbon and nitrogen cycling that will fundamentally transform the understanding of how plants and soils interact with a changing atmosphere and climate. view more (2007-12-12)
Americans support action on global warming despite economic crisis
Even in the midst of a growing economic crisis last fall, over 90 percent of Americans said that the United States should act to reduce global warming, according to a national survey released today by researchers at Yale and George Mason Universities. The results included 34 percent who said the United States should make a large-scale effort, even... view more... (2009-03-19)
Climate scientists spotlight Arctic warming, plight of polar bears
A climate scientist at the University of Chicago and 30 of her colleagues from across North America and Europe are urging the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to list the polar bear as a threatened species because global warming is melting its sea-ice habitat. view more (2006-06-19)
At Least Part of Climate Change is Man-Made
Humanity does seem to have been a major contributor to global warming after all. This has been demonstrated by new simulations carried out at the University of Bonn. The Bonn meteorologists used about 30 different models to investigate how the Earth's average annual temperature would have developed with and without the influence of climate gases.... view more...
