In the early 1800s, pirate Jean Lafitte smuggled goods and slaves through Louisiana’s muddy coastal waters, navigating the bayous, bays, and lakes up to New Orleans.

A new international research initiative will measure hydrogen emissions from operating infrastructure in North America and Europe, filling a gap where little empirical data exist today.

If you drink wine, chances are it already tastes different—rising global temperatures are transforming winegrowing regions around the world.

Today’s carbon capture systems suffer a tradeoff between efficient capture and release, but a new approach developed at MIT can boost overall efficiency.

The key may lie in wintertime Arctic clouds, as climate models underestimate how much liquid they contain and how much heat they trap, leading to skewed warming predictions.

New research reveals mountain glaciers across the globe will not recover for centuries – even if human intervention cools the planet back to the 1.5°C limit, having exceeded it.

Fertilizer might be stronger than we thought.

A novel analysis suggests more than 3,500 animal species are threatened by climate change and also sheds light on huge gaps in fully understanding the risk to the animal kingdom.

The ocean has absorbed about 30% of carbon dioxide emissions from human activities since the Industrial Revolution, significantly slowing the pace of climate change.

Warming in the Arctic is intensifying methane emissions, contributing to a vicious feedback loop that could accelerate climate change even more, according to a new study published May 7 in Nature.
