Plants' role in global warming re-examined in ORNL Science paper
Estimates of increased plant respiration in response to higher global temperatures may be somewhat overstated as they have not taken into account plants' ability to adjust to changing conditions, according to researchers from Oak Ridge National Laboratory.   view more (2006-05-02)

Deep in Arctic Mud, Geologists Find Strong Evidence of Climate Change
How severe will global warming get? Jason P. Briner is looking for an answer buried deep in mud dozens of feet below the surface of lakes in the frigid Canadian Arctic.    view more (2007-01-19)

Dangerous wheat disease jumps Red Sea
A new form of stem rust, a virulent wheat disease, has jumped from eastern Africa and is now infecting wheat in Yemen in the Arabian Peninsula.   view more (2007-01-17)

Global Warming Affects World's Largest Freshwater Lake
Russian and American scientists have discovered that the rising temperature of the world's largest lake, located in frigid Siberia, shows that this region is responding strongly to global warming.   view more (2008-05-01)

Greenland glaciers dumping ice into Atlantic at faster pace
The amount of ice that Greenland's glaciers dump into the Atlantic Ocean has almost doubled in the last five years because glaciers are moving faster, according to a new Science study.   view more (2006-02-17)

Deep sea algae connect ancient climate, carbon dioxide and vegetation
Assistant Professor Mark Pagani in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at Yale and his colleagues mapped the first detailed history of atmospheric carbon dioxide between 45-25 million years ago based on stable isotopes of carbon in a National Science Foundation study reported in Science... view more (2005-06-23)

Southampton scientists set sail for the Arctic on historic voyage to investigate impact of global warming
Dr Val Byfield and Sarah Fletcher from Southampton Oceanography Centre will be setting sail from Tromso in Norway next week on their way to the Arctic on board a 93-year-old sailing vessel, as part of a unique project to investigate the impact of global warming.   view more (2003-05-23)

Impact of Climate Warming on Polar Ice Sheets Confirmed
In the most comprehensive survey ever undertaken of the massive ice sheets covering both Greenland and Antarctica, NASA scientists confirm climate warming is changing how much water remains locked in Earth's largest storehouse of ice and snow.   view more (2006-03-09)

Southern Ocean could slow global warming
The Southern Ocean may slow the rate of global warming by absorbing significantly more heat and carbon dioxide than previously thought, according to new research.   view more (2006-12-06)

A NASA study is offering new insight into how the Earth's water cycle might be influenced by global change.   view more (2005-10-17)

Colombian Frog Believed Extinct Found Alive
Researchers exploring a Colombian mountain range found surviving members of a species of Harlequin frog believed extinct due to a killer fungus wiping out amphibian populations in Central and South America.   view more (2006-05-19)

Fires in far northern forests to have cooling, not warming, effect
Droughts and longer summers tied to global warming are causing more fires in the Earth's vast northernmost forests, a phenomenon that will spew a steadily increasing amount of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.   view more (2006-11-17)

Dissapearing arctic lakes linked to climate change
Continued arctic warming may be causing a decrease in the number and size of Arctic lakes. The issue is the subject of a paper published in the June 3 issue of the journal "Science." The paper, titled, "Disappearing Arctic Lakes" is the result of a comparison of satellite data... view more (2005-06-06)

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)

Climate change will affect carbon sequestration in oceans, model shows
The direct injection of carbon dioxide deep into the ocean has been suggested as one method to help control rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and mitigate the effects of global warming.   view more (2005-09-08)

Global warming and your health
Global warming could do more to hurt your health than simply threaten summertime heat stroke, says a public health physician.   view more (2006-10-24)

Greenhouse gas bubbling from melting permafrost feeds climate warming
A study co-authored by a Florida State University scientist and published in the Sept. 7 issue of the journal Nature has found that as the permafrost melts in North Siberia due to climate change, carbon sequestered and buried there since the Pleistocene era is bubbling up to the surface of Siberian... view more (2006-09-07)

New evidence that global warming fuels stronger Atlantic hurricanes
Atmospheric scientists have uncovered fresh evidence to support the hotly debated theory that global warming has contributed to the emergence of stronger hurricanes in the Atlantic Ocean.   view more (2007-03-01)

Discovery could help stop malaria at its source -- the mosquito
As summer temperatures cool in the United States, fewer mosquitoes whir around our tiki torches. But mosquitoes swarming around nearly 40 percent of the world's population will continue to spread a deadly parasitic disease - malaria.   view more (2007-08-30)

Beneficial effects of no-till farming depend upon future climate change
By storing carbon in their fields through no-till farming practice, farmers can help countries meet targeted reductions in atmospheric carbon dioxide and reduce the harmful effects of global warming.   view more (2005-10-13)

Forests damaged by Katrina may contribute to global warming
Researchers led by biologist Jeffrey Chambers of Tulane University have determined that the losses inflicted by Hurricane Katrina on Gulf Coast forest trees are enough to cancel out a year's worth of new tree biomass (trunks, branches and foliage) growth in other parts of the country.   view more (2007-11-16)

Modeling of long-term fossil fuel consumption shows 14.5 degree hike in temperature
If humans continue to use fossil fuels in a business as usual manner for the next several centuries, the polar ice caps will be depleted, ocean sea levels will rise by seven meters and median air temperatures will soar 14.5 degrees warmer than current day.   view more (2005-11-02)
