CLIMATE

Climate change is not just decreasing the size of ice in the Antarctic; it also stunts the growth of animal and plant species, a new study has found.

Climate Change is causing plants and animals to grow smaller, researchers have found.

Due to changing climates, research suggests how species unable to adapt may see a stunt in their growth.

Climate Change has been blamed for many things and add one more to the list: It is stunting the growth of animals and plants because warmer temperatures and lack of water is causing them to shrink, a new study suggests. Researchers also warned that it could affect food production in coming years.

Al Gore links several environmental disasters, including the Great Lakes' algae problem, to climate change.

Researchers at Oregon State University (OSU) claim to have found the possible cause for “super-eruptions” in massive volcanoes on the earth that occur every 100,000 years and are known to induce planetary climate change.

Severe seasonal melting has reduced ice floes, floating chunk of ice, in the Arctic Ocean to the thinnest on record, according to researchers. Changes in sea ice thickness and extent also have direct consequences for the ecosystem of the Arctic Ocean, the researchers said.

Geologists will drill down more than 3,000 meters of ice to reach a sub-glacial lake in western Antarctic that is probably a million years old, in search of new species and clues about climate change.

The villages of Charavgi and Kleitos, located in the valley of Ptolemais in Greece, have been gradually abandoned since the Greek Public Power Corporation (PPC) opened two power plants in the region.

In a new study, scientists have demonstrated a link between a recurring drop in solar radiation and the cold climate of the UK, northern Europe and parts of America.

A link between decadal solar variability and winter climate in the UK, northern Europe and parts of America has been demonstrated by scientists according to a new study.

A majority of Europeans say they consider climate change to be one of the most pressing global problems, above an ongoing economic unraveling, according to a new poll released Friday.

A warming climate is imperilling the wildlife and landscapes in the Yellowstone National Park region, two environmental groups said in a study.

As if the news about the Arctic's ozone hole outsizing the hole in Antarctica in early 2011 wasn't bad enough, Tuesday, NASA officials released more bad news: sea ice covering the Arctic Ocean reached its second lowest level in recorded history in September.

Climate change will cause damage in Canada equivalent to around 1 percent of GDP in 2050 as rising temperatures kill off forests, flood low-lying areas and cause more illnesses, an official panel said on Thursday.

Environmental Protection Agency circumvented a more robust review process when it produced a key scientific document underpinning its decision to regulate climate-changing pollution according to an internal government watchdog.

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 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.

A defunct NASA satellite is set to descend into the Earth's atmosphere this weekend, but the U.S. space agency says it has no clue where it will land.

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.

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.
