Every dollar spent on forest fuel treatments saves about $3.75 in wildfire damages, according to a new study, led by researchers at the University of California, Davis, of nearly 300 fires in the western United States.

Planting new forests may be a low-cost way to combat warming temperatures in urban areas, suggests a new study.

A new study reveals how responsive the Greenland ice sheet is to climate change – more so than models predict.

A violent volcanic eruption in the South Pacific has revealed a surprising natural mechanism that could potentially help slow global warming.

A study led by the University of Barcelona and published in the journal Nature Communications shows that climate change has profoundly altered extreme episodes of melting of the Greenland ice sheet: it has made them more frequent, more extensive and more intense. 

Tiny particles of plastic amassing in the atmosphere may be intensifying warming, according to new study. 

The World Stroke Organization is warning that climate change poses an escalating threat to brain health, with extreme heat in particular increasing the risk of having a stroke and of patients dying from stroke.

While the world is a big place, humans are making greater and greater demands on the same areas of land. 

The Pacific Ocean is a giant climate cauldron, with a powerful heat engine that affects storms, fisheries and rainfall patterns half a world away, and scientists are watching closely to see if it’s about to boil over.
