CLIMATE CHANGE

After the end of the last Ice Age, La Brea dire wolves became smaller, adapting to hunt smaller prey as glaciers receded and climate warmed.

Melting permafrost in places like Sweden may lead to an accelerated warming trend, a new study suggests.

A new study suggests that deserts, much like rainforests, play a critical role in sucking up excess carbon dioxide in our atmosphere.

The winter ice coverage is at its fifth-lowest peak since 1978.

For the first time, Exxon Mobil has released a report assessing climate change risks to carbon assets.

As temperatures continue to rise, it's the poor who stand to lose the most, a U.N. report warns. And not just in the Third World.

At the U.N. Africa Forum in Brussels this week, officials will discuss plans to use data from satellites to help deal with climate change and promote development.

The report aims to influence climate treaty talks among countries that are working to devise an agreement next year to curb global warming.

A new study suggests North American salamanders are smaller today than they were 50 years ago. Scientists say the culprit is climate change.

Scientists are using 18th- and 19th-century landscape paintings to get a sense of the early days of climate change, before there were atmospheric instruments available.

The website will be managed by NOAA and NASA while private corporations will contribute content and technology.

New research indicates that Greenland is dumping billions of tons of water into the ocean every year.

The favorable climate in 13th-century Central Asia was played a role in the Mongol Empire's rise, researchers say.

A new study suggests the sun’s varying solar energy output as a possible natural cause of climate change.

Warmer temps are pushing malaria-carrying mosquitoes into areas that were previously too cold.

The sea-ice cover in the Southern Ocean in Antarctica has been relatively stable, while Arctic sea ice has been declining rapidly.

As climate change accelerates ice melt and sea levels continue to rise, scientists warn that global warming jeopardizes our cultural heritage. They found that a rise in global temperatures of just over 5 degrees Fahrenheit would threaten 20 percent of UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

Ecologist Patrick Moore, a co-founder of activist group Greenpeace, says climate change is not caused by humans.

According to a new study of volcanoes’ effect on climate change, volcanic eruptions are the reason the average rate of global warming has slowed since 1998.

Images of extreme weather are ubiquitous in media and paint a picture of a dire end for Earth. But new research into the effects these photographs have on viewers’ minds suggests such brutal images might actually hinder climate change action.

The plan developed by Stanford University includes an interactive map of the 50 states with custom energy portfolios.
