New oceanic research provides clear evidence of a human "fingerprint" on climate change and shows that specific signals from human activities have altered the seasonal cycle amplitude of sea surface temperatures (SST).
Study reveals that deep-sea currents have been weakening, strengthening during 2.4m-year climate cycles
An abrupt shutdown of Atlantic Ocean currents that could put large parts of Europe in a deep freeze is looking a bit more likely and closer than before.
Researchers peering back through 800 years of history have concluded that Mayan civilizetion may well have been undone by drought.
2023 has seen climate records being not just broken, but smashed. By September there had already been 38 days when global average temperatures exceeded pre-industrial ones by 1.5°C.
A new study suggests that decreases in brain size in modern humans may be driven by natural selection in response to climate change and environmental stress, starting around 15,000 years ago.
There are major links between climate change and extreme rainfall events like the one in northwestern Europe. A one-degree rise in temperature has the potential to give you a 7 % increase in the intensity of rainfall.
Recent findings suggest that relatively close supernovas could theoretically have triggered at least four disruptions to Earth's climate over the last 40,000 years. What happens in space may not always stay in space.
From planting continent-long forests to inducing rainfall, researchers have begun proposing, testing, and in some cases implementing large-scale geoengineering projects to radically transform the planet.
These gains would come primarily from avoiding rising health care costs, productivity losses, and declining agricultural output, according to the authors.
A new study presents the first physical evidence that the Venus’ and Jupiter’s gravity can cause shifts in Earth’s orbit—and swings in its climate—every 405,000 years.
Hot weather is the number one summertime killer in much of the world — and the number of these deadly heat waves is only going to increase.
The World Meteorological Organization will scrutinize Arctic and Antarctic to minimize risks linked to rapid climate change.
The researchers calculated that the combination of sunshine and CO2 at the end of this century would already be equivalent to the Eocene climate 50 million years ago, the warmest time period since the dinosaurs reigned.
Now an international team of climate scientists has found a connection between many extreme weather events and the impact climate change is having on the jet stream.
