The jet stream, the narrow band of westerly winds circling the northern hemisphere, is stagnating, giving rise to severe heat across much of the globe, and climate change may be making it worse, a new study finds.

The transition to an environmentally sustainable economy has begun, but it will be a generation (about twenty years) before we will see moderation of global warming.

If, as the saying goes, "nothing in life is free," then corals might pay a price for being resilient to climate change.

Worldwide, glass manufacturing produces at least 86 million tons of carbon dioxide every year.

For approximately 3,000 years, generations of green sea turtles have returned to the same Mediterranean seagrass meadows to eat. 

Coastal forests are increasingly exposed to the effects of climate change and sea level rise.

Many countries consider or have already planned to convert low lying farmland into wetlands and thereby save CO2 emissions.

The Brazilian coast, especially in the South and Southeast regions, is already suffering from the impact of climate change, with increasingly extreme surface air temperatures and more frequent swings from heat to cold and back.

Ecologists and ranchers alike know that rivers and streams with healthy beaver populations support more biodiversity, are more drought resilient, and keep water available on the land for more days of the year.
