With the U.S. experiencing one of its worst bouts of freezing cold temperatures, global warming has once again become a hot topic across all media. In some places, people have been advised to stop venturing outside their homes. Freezing cold caused by global warming The big freeze is said to be the result of a ...
Powerful storms that cause extreme weather conditions — such as flooding across Europe and North America, with the potential to wreak social and economic havoc — could increase threefold by the end of the 21st century due to climate change. Pioneering new research, led by Dr. Matt Hawcroft from the University of Exeter, has shown new and ...
Climate change may be occurring even faster than first thought. That is according to a ground-breaking new study by Dr. Clayton Magill from the Lyell Centre at Heriot-Watt University in Scotland. Scientists measured the vast migration of sea bed materials, such as clay and sand, a process that occurs over thousands of years. The research ...
A big percentage of Americans believe that climate change will end up being disastrous for the world. According to surveys by the Pew Research Center, almost three-fourths of the U.S. population is of the opinion that storms in the country will worsen due to climate change. They also expect plant and animal life to be severely ...
A region that holds one of the biggest concentrations of people on Earth could be pushing against the boundaries of habitability and be facing deadly heat waves by the latter part of this century, a new study shows. Research has shown that beyond a certain threshold of temperature and humidity, a person cannot survive unprotected ...
New research shows that not all corals respond the same to changes in climate. The University of Miami (UM) Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science-led study looked at the sensitivity of two types of corals found in Florida and the Caribbean, and found that one of them — mountainous star coral — possesses an ...
For the first time, scientists from Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL) and five other organizations have shown that human influences significantly impact changing seasons — the size of the seasonal cycle of temperature in the lowest layer of the atmosphere. To demonstrate this, they applied a so-called “fingerprint” technique. Fingerprinting seeks to separate human and ...
Australia will still be the lucky country when it comes to changes in local climate as a result of climate change if global average surface temperatures reach the 1.5°C or 2°C limit set by the Paris agreement. But in other countries right across the tropics, including close neighbor and major trading partner Indonesia, the heat ...
A study shows that grazing lands are vulnerable to climate change. Some 800 million people around the world depend on livestock that graze on natural vegetation for their livelihoods and food security. In a good season, grasses and other plants flourish, supporting robust herds. In a bad season, the system suffers — as do the people ...
