Impact of global warming on weather patterns underestimated
The impact of global warming on European weather patterns has been underestimated, according to a new report published in Nature this week. view more (2005-09-22)
Oceans turning to acid from rise in CO2
A report issued by the Royal Society in the U.K. sounds the alarm about the world's oceans. "If CO2 from human activities continues to rise, the oceans will become so acidic by 2100 it could threaten marine life in ways we can't anticipate," commented Dr. Ken Caldeira, co-author of the report and a newly appointed staff scientist at the... view more...

Alaskans feel the heat of global warming
A new study finds that most Alaskans believe global warming is happening and is a serious threat to the state. view more (2006-10-05)
World to be even hotter by century's end
If Earth's past cycles of warming and cooling are any indication, temperatures by the end of the century will be even hotter than current climate models predict, according to a report by University of California, Berkeley, researchers. view more (2006-05-25)
Studies of ancient climates suggest Earth is now on a fast track to global warming
Human activities are releasing greenhouse gases more than 30 times faster than the rate of emissions that triggered a period of extreme global warming in the Earth's past, according to an expert on ancient climates. view more (2006-02-17)
Global warming dramatically changed ancient forests
The migration of subtropical plants to northern climates may not be too far-fetched if future global warming patterns mirror a monumental shift that took place in the past. view more (2005-11-14)
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)
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)
How fish species suffer as a result of warmer waters
Ongoing global climate change causes changes in the species composition of marine ecosystems, especially in shallow coastal oceans. view more (2007-01-05)
Why the Amazon rainforest is so rich in species
Tropical areas of south and central America such as the Amazon rainforest are home to some 7500 species of butterfly compared with only around 65 species in Britain. view more (2005-12-06)
Greenhouse gas effect consistent over 420 million years
New calculations show that sensitivity of Earth's climate to changes in the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) has been consistent for the last 420 million years, according to an article in Nature by geologists at Yale and Wesleyan Universities. view more (2007-03-29)
Rapid Sea Level Rise in the Arctic Ocean May Alter Views of Human Migration
Scientists have found new evidence that the Bering Strait near Alaska flooded into the Arctic Ocean about 11,000 years ago, about 1,000 years earlier than widely believed, closing off the land bridge thought to be the major route for human migration from Asia to the Americas. view more (2006-10-12)
Abrupt Climate Shifts May Come Sooner, Not Later
The United States could suffer the effects of abrupt climate changes within decades-sooner than some previously thought--says a new government report. view more (2008-12-22)
Siberian lakes burp "time-bomb" greenhouse gas
Frozen bubbles in Siberian lakes are releasing methane, a greenhouse gas, at rates that appear to be "... five times higher than previously estimated" and acting as a positive feedback to climate warming, said Katey Walter, in a paper published today in the journal Nature. view more (2006-09-08)
Climate change poses a huge threat to human health
Climate change will have a huge impact on human health and bold environmental policy decisions are needed now to protect the world's population, according to the author of an article published in the BMJ today. view more (2008-01-25)
Tiny Marine Organisms Reflect Ocean Warming
Sediment cores collected from the seafloor off Southern California reveal that plankton populations in the Northeastern Pacific changed significantly in response to a general warming trend that started in the early 1900s. view more (2006-01-06)
Global warming will reduce ocean productivity, marine life
A 10-year, satellite-based analysis has shown for the first time that primary biological productivity in the oceans-the growth of phytoplankton that forms the basis for the rest of the marine food chain-is tightly linked to climate change, and would be reduced by global warming. view more (2006-12-07)
Arctic ice meltdown continues with significantly reduced winter ice cover
As far as temperatures drop in the Arctic winter - on average to -34°C (-29°F) - a new study shows that in the last two years sea ice is shrinking on the surface of Arctic waters to record low levels. view more (2006-09-14)
More than a meteor likely killed dinosaurs 65 million years ago
Growing evidence shows that the dinosaurs and their contemporaries were not wiped out by the famed Chicxulub meteor impact alone, according to a paleontologist who says multiple meteor impacts, massive volcanism in India and climate changes culminated in the end of the Cretaceous Period. view more (2006-10-27)
Greenhouse theory smashed by biggest stone
A new theory to explain global warming was revealed at a meeting at the University of Leicester (UK) and is being considered for publication in the journal "Science First Hand". view more (2006-03-14)
