Climate change exerts great pressure for change on species and biodiversity. 

Some climate activists advocate large-scale tree-planting campaigns in forests around the world to suck up heat-trapping carbon dioxide and help rein in climate change.

Researchers from Nara Institute of Science and Technology find that plants adapt to heat stress via an epigenetic memory mechanism, where JUMONJI proteins control small heat shock genes.

In a world-first, Monash University scientists have developed a new, environmentally friendly process that could drive the future production of green ammonia.

Three varieties to worry about, control and repel.

On Feb. 7, 2021, the Uttarakhand region of India experienced a humanitarian tragedy when a veritable wall of rock and ice collapsed and formed a debris flow that barreled down the Ronti Gad, Rishiganga and Dhauliganga river valleys.

How much do the effects of climate change contribute to extreme weather events? 

Lack of water, floods, or crop losses: As a result of climate change, pronounced periods of drought and rainfall are occurring more frequently and more intensively all around the world, causing human suffering and major economic damage.
