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.

The research originated in a project aimed at developing biofuels for ships but has since evolved into an environmentally friendly method for wood preservation.

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

Scientists are advancing a promising solution to two of the world’s biggest challenges – plastic pollution and clean energy – by transforming waste plastics into valuable fuels using sunlight.

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. 

When oak trees are heavily damaged by caterpillars, they open buds later the following spring. 

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.
