The new paper, published in Environmental Research Letters, highlighted how storing carbon in forests could tackle climate change.

During the last ice age, glaciers covered vast portions of North America.

Protected areas — such as nature reserves, national parks, and wilderness areas — are essential to conserving biodiversity. 

Capping production of new plastics will help cut their release to the environment — and brings other benefits, from boosting the value of plastics to helping tackle climate change.

As the Earth’s climate continues to warm, researchers predict wild animals will be forced to relocate their habitats — likely to regions with large human populations — dramatically increasing the risk of a viral jump to humans that could lead to the next pandemic.

EPA has included a comparison of NOAA’s atmospheric emission estimates of four HFCs to its own inventory-based estimates in the just-released U.S. Inventory of Greenhouse Gas Emissions and Sinks

Geoengineering the climate would have massive repercussions for the health of billions of people at risk of malaria who live in tropical countries, according to a new finding by scientists at Georgetown University Medical Center and colleagues. 

A team of scientists explores how forests might be restored after centuries of spruce plantations and other intensive management.

Climate change directly affects groundwater resources. 

The drop in water levels comes as hotter temperatures and falling water levels left a smaller amount of water flowing through the Colorado River.
