Study shows that climate change might harm California beaches, as well as the state’s economy.

A new addition to England's landscape is in the making as scientists are preparing to build a giant balloon in an experiment that seeks to re-create the cooling effect of erupting volcanos.

To tackle manmade climate change, scientists will investigate the feasibility of a geo-engineering project by building an artificial volcano, which will appear in the British county of Norfolk next month.

While some who question manmade climate change accuse environmentalists of harboring a covert socialist agenda, some advocates claim the label proudly.

Climate change advocate and former Vice President, Al Gore, will undertake a 24-hour global multimedia event to convince the climate change deniers of humans' role in climate change, the link between climate change and extreme weather events and to drive action against global warming among the public.

Former Vice President Al Gore will renew his 30-year campaign to convince skeptics of the link between climate change and extreme weather events this week in a 24-hour global multi-media event.

Natural gas is not as effective as it is used to be thought in improving earth's climatic condition, suggest scientists. Even though natural gas emits far less carbon dioxide than coal, its effectiveness in solving earth's climate woes has been questioned by a new U.S. study.

The majority of Democrats, Republicans and Independent voters all believe that climate change is happening, according to a new poll. Only the Tea Party does not. What does this mean for Republican presidential candidates who want to do well both in the primaries and in the general election?

Weather disasters of 2011 may have been partly caused by global warming, a climate report suggests.

A new study says natural gas would not slow down climate change: natural gas is cleaner, but from a climate perspective, it's complicated.

Though Ron Paul seems to have contributed the most to last night's Republican presidential debate, Rick Perry is dominating the headlines for his supposedly inept remark identifying himself as modern day Galileo. Famous for his skepticism of climate change, the Texas Governor observed, The science is not settled on this (climate change). The idea that we would put Americans' economy at jeopardy based on scientific theory that's not settled yet to me is just nonsense. Just because yo...

Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Louisiana made major contributions toward increasing the national average. Each of these states recorded their hottest summers ever, with the average summer temperature in Texas being 86.8 degrees. In Oklahoma, the average was 86.5 degrees.

What does Perry's metaphor tell us about his beliefs?

2011 has been an unprecedented year for extreme weather, and a new report links the meteorological fury to the long arc of climate change.

A study published this week in Geophysical Research Letters disproves recent claims that clouds are the root cause of climate change.

Wolfgang Wagner has resigned as editor of the peer-reviewed journal, Remote Sensing, after it published a hotly disputed article challenging claims of manmade climate change.

The editor-in-chief of a climate science journal has resigned in response to an academic controversy triggered by his publication of a paper co-authored by a leading climate sceptic.

The European Space Agency's Mars Express satellite has been orbiting Mars since around 2003, but it has just stumbled on a rare find that scientists believe is a glimpse into wetter days on the Red Planet. The satellite found evidence that a huge crater on Mars was once a water-filled lake, and ESA said the rare find was revealed by the presence of a delta, which is an ancient fan-shaped deposit of dark sediments, laid down in water.

Global warming and climate change are phenomena that broke the bonds of scientific circles to emerge as a matter of debate between believers and skeptics. Countless studies validating and denying global warming have seen the light of the day, providing fodder for more, often somewhat bitter debates. Within the past month, Nobel Prize winner and leading climate change alarmist Al Gore has called those who deny global warming akin to racists, and pseudo-...

James Hansen, a NASA scientist who famously gave congressional testimony on the environmental impacts of global warming back in 1988, was arrested outside of the White House on Monday.
