File this under definitely not good: global warming is depleting the oceans of oxygen. You know, that little molecule that we, along with all other complex life forms, require in order to breathe and therefore live.
Extreme heat is a growing hazard for cities around the world. A case study on Louisville, Kentucky offers recommendations that could significantly reduce the number of people who die annually from heat-related causes
Cows account for at least 10 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions and growing just one pound of beef requires almost 2,000 gallons of water. In light of such negative costs, the Danish Council of Ethics recently proposed to tax red meat.
Leaders from more than 170 countries gather at the United Nations to sign the Paris climate deal. "This is a moment in history," UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said. "Today you are signing a new covenant with the future."
When we published a paper in 2013 finding 97% scientific consensus on human-caused global warming, what surprised me was how surprised everyone was. Ours wasn't the first study to find such a scientific consensus. Nor was it the second. Nor were we the last.
The worldwide reliance on burning fossil fuels to create energy could be phased out in a decade, according to an article published by a major energy think tank in the UK.
The Great Barrier Reef is one of the most celebrated ecosystems on Earth - and it's dying. Months of extreme heat have turned thousands of miles of pristine habitat into an endless watery graveyard. This year's coral bleaching event comes as a warning. If we don't bring carbon emissions down fast, the Great Barrier Reef will not survive the century.
Something strange is happening to our planet. Around the year 2000, the North rotational pole started migrating eastward at a vigorous clip. Now, scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory have figured out what's going on, and you'll be shocked to learn that humans are behind it.
Climate related disasters can be felt on all of the islands. Typhoons most greatly impact life in the Philippines. We have almost too many to name. Reality is telling us that typhoons are becoming stronger and more violent, surpassing even the estimated limit of the ‘strongest level’ from super to mega typhoons.
Combining gasification with fuel-cell technology could boost efficiency of coal-powered plants.
Study finds high risk of severe water stress in Asia by 2050.
The rate of carbon emissions is higher than at any time in fossil records stretching back 66 million years to the end of the age of the dinosaurs, a new study finds.
A United States senator is seeking to pass legislation in California that would expose fossil fuel companies to investigations that could hold them accountable for purposely misleading the public over the scientific evidence for climate change.
Italian architects Paolo Venturella and Cosimo Scotucci designed a Global Cooling Skyscraper that would use wind power to cool the planet and battle global warming.
The impact humans have made on Earth in terms of how we produce and consume resources has formed a 'striking new pattern' in the planet's global energy flow, according to researchers.
