A recent study suggests that continued global warming could, some day, result in some animals becoming smaller. The new research from Queen Mary, University of London reveals how this warming might cause world’s animals to shrink.
Scientists might be able to predict climate change with more accuracy after discovering that plants consume carbon dioxide 25 percent faster than previously thought.
La Nina affects weather in much of the U.S., especially on the west coast. Here's what to expect from this regularly occurring event.
Scientists have newly unveiled the mechanism of the temperature-size rule, in which certain animal species shrink in physical size as a result of hotter temperatures.
Cain has very little political experience; his career has been almost entirely in business. As a result, he has no voting or governing record to turn to for an idea of his political views; voters will have to rely entirely on the things he has said during his campaign.
Global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions have increased by 45 per cent in the past two decades and reached an all-time high in 2010, says a report.
Investments in energy-saving building retrofits and clean-energy projects can create hundreds of thousands of jobs and bolster the U.S. economy, former U.S. President Bill Clinton said on Tuesday.
The Times Atlas of the World exaggerated the rate of Greenland's ice loss in its thirteenth edition last week, scientists said on Monday.
Scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) say Earth's deep oceans tend to absorb enough heat and hide it for about a decade. That action could explain periods when global warming slows even when satellite data show there's no change in the amount of energy trapped in the planet's atmosphere.
The deep ocean currents and circulations absorb the sun's heat before releasing it finally, putting global warming temporarily on hold as reported by scientists.
Leading British polar scientists charge the Times Atlas of the World was wrong to state that climate change had forced it to redraw its map of Greenland.
Earth's temperatures will likely stabilize for a period as deep oceans can absorb enough heat to conceal the effects of global warming for up to a decade, a new study indicates.
Our planet's deep oceans at times tend to absorb enough heat to mask the effect of global warming for as long as a decade - even in the midst of longer-term warming, scientists at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) say.
Global warming is temporarily on hold as the deep ocean currents and circulations absorb the sun's heat before releasing it finally, scientists said on Sunday.
Deep oceans may absorb enough heat to mask the effects of global warming for decades as per a new study.
Earth's temperatures will likely stabilize for a period as a new study suggests that deep oceans may absorb enough heat to flatten the rate of global warming for periods as long as a decade.
Republican presidential debates and a rise in the number of natural disasters are influencing more Americans to believe that the world is warming, a Reuters/Ipsos poll said on Thursday. The percentage of Americans who believe in global warming rose to 83 percent in 2011, from last year's 75 percent, the poll conducted Sept. 8-12 found out.
A team of Florida scientists have discovered fossil of a giant crocodile from a Colombian coal mine.
Scientists in UK will create an artificial volcano that they hope will be capable of cooling down the Earth by pumping sulphate particles into the atmosphere.
In a new bizarre experiment, scientists will create an “artificial volcano” that can cool down the earth by pumping sulphate particles from its global warming effects.
Nobel Prize winning physicist Ivar Giaever resigned as a Fellow from the American Physical Society (APS) on Tuesday, condemning the group's official stand on global warming. In 2007, APS adopted an official statement on global warming, which said that the emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities are changing the atmosphere in ways that affect the Earth's climate.
A new study by three non-profit climate research organizations has claimed that global warming is more likely to improve rather than harm human health.”
