Scientists have discovered that increased levels of atmospheric carbon dioxide may lead to lesser amounts of nutrients, such as essential B vitamins, in rice.
A new global, satellite-based study of Earth's freshwater found that Earth's wet areas are getting wetter, while dry areas are getting drier.
In just two decades, Madagascar lost about a fifth of its mangrove forest area, exposing its coastline to the ocean's ravages.
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.
As April drew to a close, scientists confirmed that sea ice in the Bering Sea was at 10 percent of normal levels. This causes 'natural disaster' for Alaskan communities.
The global comprehensive tourism footprint is about four times greater than previous estimates, is growing faster than international trade and is already responsible for almost a tenth of global greenhouse emissions.
Pakistan hit 122.3 degrees Fahrenheit (50.2 C) this week, marking the highest temperature recorded for the month of April - ever. The Pakistan Meteorological Department confirmed the recording.
Artificial rain is set to fall on mountainous plains three times the size of Spain. That’s the plan for China’s latest weather manipulation project.
These thousands of tiny islands scattered throughout the Pacific, which are home to more than 50,000 people, are at severe risk due to sea level rise and, as a new study details, wave-driven flooding.
Several Colorado communities have now joined the growing wave of municipalities taking legal action against fossil fuel companies and seeking compensation for the impacts of climate change.
In a notably blunt study in the journal Nature scientists report that in 2016 alone, about 30 percent of the Great Barrier Reef’s corals were lost, with the most severe damage in the isolated northern sector.
Two new studies have found that the system of currents in the Atlantic Ocean is exceptionally weak — and its strength, or lack thereof, could have serious ramifications for the global climate.
The Dark Zone is a stripe of fast-melting ice towards the south-west of the ice sheet. This speedy melting is actually bad news for the planet, especially the areas bound to be affected by a sea level rise.
So far, the Antarctic was seen as relatively stable. But a new study suggests that climate change is affecting the polar region on a much larger scale than previously believed.
New UMD study finds that the world's largest desert grew by 10 percent since 1920, due in part to climate change.
