The conservative conference has toned down some of its more outrageous panels this year, but there are still a handful of odd talks.

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 U.S. EPA may have underestimated the effects of methane emissions from vehicles that sub natural gas for diesel fuel.

Cool roofs and green roofs can reduce temperatures but a new study says location is extremely important in any urban adaptation strategy.

The Navy wants to explore underwater drones and capitalize on Arctic sea routes, but budget cutbacks may limit what it can do.

California, facing a severe water crisis, is entering its third year of record-low rainfall, and scientists are fearing “megadroughts."

Scientists predict extreme El Niño events are likely to double in the next few decades.

A new analysis of Antarctica’s massive ice sheet suggests the ice is melting much faster than scientists previously thought.

While extreme weather in the U.S. is in large part due to a “polar vortex” creeping down over the Northern hemisphere from the North Pole, scientists say weather patterns around the world are largely the result of climate change in Antarctica.

Scientists are arguing for us to reduce our reliance on livestock to mitigate the effects of climate change.

Earth’s temperature is rising faster than projected, says a new study on climate change and the effects of cloud cover on global warming.

California’s annual “king tides” has returned to the west coast state, and sea levels are expected to rise 7.1 feet above average low tides. Are rising tides a sign of climate change?

According to a new report, conservative donors spend $1 billion a year to discredit climate change science and stifle climate policy in the U.S.

Trapped underneath the Greenland ice sheet is a massive reservoir of melt water, according to new analysis of the frozen landscape. The discovery could help us better understand the future of global sea-level rise.

Two researchers in a remote area of the Canadian Arctic stumbled on a mysterious 54-year-old message in a bottle and found that the note inside alluded to future glacial melting.

According to new data from the National Climate Data Center, November was the world’s warmest month on record since scientists first started keeping track over 120 years ago.
