Summer is in full swing in the U.S., and people are turning up their air conditioners to beat the heat. 

Against the backdrop of a rapidly warming planet, the need to better understand the nature and long-term impact of positive climatic feedback loops — processes that accelerate the effects of warming — becomes critically important.

A group of international scientists led by Cornell is – more rigorously and systematically than ever before – evaluating if and how the stratosphere could be made just a little bit “brighter,” reflecting more incoming sunlight so that an ever-warming Earth maintains its cool.

As countries look to decarbonize their economies, floating solar farms have become an option.

A storm of this magnitude exposed the flaws of the hurricane observation tools used at the time

Humans aren’t the only ones suffering through unprecedented heatwaves in a warming climate. Consider the humble minnow.

The study, published in the Royal Geographical Society (with the Institute of British Geographers) journal The Geographical Journal, highlights that global demand for sulfuric acid is set to rise significantly from ‘246 to 400 million tonnes’ by 2040 - a result of more intensive agriculture and the world moving away from fossil fuels.

Studying climate change-induced mass extinctions in the deep geological past allows researchers to explore the impact of environmental crises on organismal evolution. 

New research sheds light on how climate change will impact the distribution of great whales in New Zealand waters.

New University of Sydney research published in Nature Food today has modelled the wide-ranging impacts of climate change and extreme weather events on Australia’s food systems and supply chains, identifying potential cascading repercussions including job and income loss as well as a loss in nutrient availability and diet quality.
