Global warming is likely to cause a decline in the number of species of microbes that live in tropical soils - and that could threaten the biodiversity of rainforests and increase carbon emissions.

When the 2021 Pacific Northwest heat wave peaked at 121 degrees Fahrenheit, it buckled roads, melted power lines, killed hundreds and led to a devastating wildfire. Climate scientists were shocked to see heat so severe.

A nationwide study in France has reported that during the 2019 heatwave, hot temperatures were closely linked with weight loss in heart failure patients, indicating worsening of their condition. 

More frequent and longer-lasting droughts caused by rising global temperatures pose significant risks to people and ecosystems around the world – according to new research from the University of East Anglia (UEA). 

Stronger hurricanes that are reenergised by jet stream winds are twice as likely to cross the Atlantic and wreak havoc in Europe than weaker ones, new research has found.

The ability of rainforests to store carbon can decrease in pace with climate change.

According to satellite observations, Arctic sea ice reached its annual minimum extent on Sept. 18, 2022. 

“This lake wasn’t here 50 years ago.” 

A foul-smelling, voracious, wide-spread pest could become even more ubiquitous with climate change.

Trees have long been known to buffer humans from the worst effects of climate change by pulling carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.
