Extreme Ice Melting in Greenland Raises Global Flood Risk
Global warming has caused extreme ice melting events in Greenland to become more frequent and more intense over the past 40 years according to new research, raising sea levels and flood risk worldwide.
COP26 News: Study Says Climate Change Will Triple Impacts to World’s “Life Zones” Unless Emission Rates Are Dramatically Reduced
A new study from WCS and multiple partners that modeled changes in the world’s 45 different “life zones” from climate change revealed that climate impacts may soon triple over these areas if the earth continues “business-as-usual” emissions.
The Silent Build-up to a Super-Eruption
It is estimated that about 5-10 volcanoes worldwide are capable of producing a super-eruption that could catastrophically affect global climate.
Study Shows How 1.5°C Temperature Rise Can Cause Significant Changes in Coastal Species
A temperature increase of around 1.5°C – just under the maximum target agreed at the COP23 Paris meeting in 2017 – can have a marked impact on algae and animal species living on UK coastlines, new research has found.
Researchers Uncover “Genetic Goldmine” Underlying Plant Resilience in Extreme Desert Environment
Evolutionary genomics approach identifies genes that enable plants to live in the Atacama Desert, offering clues for engineering more resilient crops to face climate change.
