Could malaria return to the UK?
Millions of tourists now travel between the UK and countries where malaria is endemic. Given this, entomologists from the University of Durham are to undertake a thorough risk assessment of malaria returning to the UK. Speaking at the Royal Entomological Society’s meeting Entomology 2001:... view more (2001-08-30)
Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine researchers have evidence a vaccine against malaria will reduce infection and disease rates
Today, researchers at the Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine's Center for Global Health & Diseases published data potentially having a strong effect on the three billion people exposed to malaria every year. view more (2007-12-21)
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... view more (2005-07-01)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
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)
New findings show a slow recovery from extreme global warming episode 55 million years ago
Most of the excess carbon dioxide pouring into the atmosphere from the burning of fossil fuels will ultimately be absorbed by the oceans, but it will take about 100,000 years. That is how long it took for ocean chemistry to recover from a massive input of carbon dioxide 55 million years ago,... view more (2005-06-10)
Malnutrition and obesity increasingly co-exist in global community
While nutritional status has improved worldwide over the past fifty years, new nutrition-related problems have also emerged. view more (2005-08-04)
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)
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)
Global warming can trigger extreme ocean, climate changes
Newly published research results provide evidence that global climate change may have quickly disrupted ocean processes and lead to drastic shifts in environments around the world. view more (2006-01-05)
Temperate Forests Could Worsen Global Warming
Growing a forest might sound like a good idea to combat global warming, since trees draw carbon dioxide from the air and release cool water from their leaves. view more (2005-12-07)
Volcanic eruptions, ancient global warming linked
A team of scientists announced today confirmation of a link between massive volcanic eruptions along the east coast of Greenland and in the western British Isles about 55 million years ago and a period of global warming that raised sea surface temperatures by five degrees (Celsius) in the tropics... view more (2007-04-27)
Most of Arctic's Near-Surface Permafrost May Thaw by 2100
Global warming may decimate the top 10 feet (3 meters) or more of perennially frozen soil across the Northern Hemisphere, altering ecosystems as well as damaging buildings and roads across Canada, Alaska, and Russia. view more (2005-12-20)
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)
Seagrass Is In Decline Worldwide, Says UNH Researcher
Around the world, seagrass beds - shallow-water ecosystems that are important habitats, food sources, and sediment stabilizers - are in decline. view more (2006-03-28)
Rising surface ozone reduces plant growth and adds to global warming
Scientists from three leading UK research institutes have today released new findings that could have major implications for food production and global warming in the 21st century. view more (2007-07-26)
