Climate change did not cause Harvey, or any other storm, but it makes intense storms like Harvey more likely to occur, scientists say.
Project Drawdown brought in researchers in various fields to identify, measure, and model the 100 strongest solutions to global warming. Here are 7 of them.
A fifth of the world’s population lives in the region, where heat and humidity is expected to exceed the upper level of human survivability.
Dutch engineers are developing a "floating mega island" in preparation for rising sea levels in The Netherlands.
Swathes of southern Europe have sweltered in a heatwave that has claimed several lives and cost billions in crop damage.
A new research reveals that a lake beneath the West Antarctic ice sheet contains large amounts of methane and describes how methane-eating microbes may keep the climate-warming gas from entering the atmosphere.

This is the farthest back that the ice front has been in recorded history, and the scientists are going to be watching very carefully for signs that the rest of the shelf is becoming unstable.
The results suggest that extreme sea levels will likely occur more frequently than previously predicted, particularly in the west coast regions of the U.S. and in large parts of Europe and Australia.
