Many species are adjusting to the Earth's warming by migrating to higher altitudes and latitudes, a new study by the Department of Biology of the University of York said. Researchers said that species have been rapidly reshuffling, shifting in an effort to adjust to a shifting climate.
If Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas and candidate for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, is trying to show that he's qualified to lead an enlightened, diverse, complex society amid a period of economic, social, and technological change, he's doing an awful bad impression.
In response to rising temperatures, many species of plants and animals are migrating to higher altitudes and latitudes, according to a new study by the Department of Biology at the University of York.
Plant and animal species have reacted to global warming by moving towards the north, away from the equator at a faster rate to avoid Earth's rising temperature, reveals a survey of nearly 1,400 species.
Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas and a candidate for the 2012 Republican nomination for president, said Wednesday he doubts man-made climate change is occurring, and also asserted that some scientists have manipulated the climate change research data to keep the issue alive.
The United States has already tied its full-year record for storm damage -- with more than $35 billion in damage from tornadoes, floods and heat waves -- the National Weather Service said, and there are still 4 1/2 months left in 2011, including hurricane season.
New research indicates that Arctic sea ice may temporarily stabilize or expand over the next few decades after its rapid retreat that saw a historical peak in July. Arctic ice has been declining since the start of satellite monitoring in 1979, and half of the trend is attributed to human activity, the study also revealed.
Dead plant material from trees may release carbon through the forest soil
Despite rising global average temperatures, we might see a short retrieve in the rapid decrease in Arctic sea ice in the coming decade. But the unexpected phenomenon will ultimately disappear after the estimated period of time.
Global Warming and Climate Change are phenomena that broke the bonds of scientific circles to be 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 debates, some of which somewhat bitter. A couple of days back reports of Al Gore's use of curse words against skeptics, during a heated rant, was doing the rounds on the Internet. The Nobel Peace Prize winner called thos...
A devastation of conifer forests about 250 million years ago was caused by tree-killing fungi whose growth was triggered by global climate change, says a University of California, Berkeley, study that warns it could happen again.
Former Vice President Al Gore isn't a happy camper. He's frustrated that people doubt the theory of global warming.
Over 20 rare polar dinosaur footprints have been discovered in Victoria, Australia, dating back to 105 million years ago- making them the largest and best preserved collection of polar dinosaur tracks in the Southern Hemisphere
Speaking at the Aspen Institute in Colorado on August 4, Former U.S. Vice President Al Gore once again warned of the impacts of global warming, but this time he sounded a bit defeated. But to whom he could be defeated? Yes, the global warming skeptics.
Soaring temperatures in July left the amount of Arctic ice at its lowest level on record, continuing a trend of diminishing ice masses that reflects a steady increase in the planet's temperature.
Despite having not yet announced his candidacy, many are seemingly already considering Texas Gov. Rick Perry as the man with the best chance to defeat President Barack Obama in 2012.
Severe heat wave grips US
Carbon dioxide and other air pollution that is collecting in the atmosphere like a thickening blanket, trapping the sun's heat and causing the planet to warm up. Over the past 50 years the average global temperature has increased at the fastest rate in recorded history and experts think the trend is accelerating.
New details emerged Tuesday in the mysterious suspension of acclaimed polar bear scientist Charles Monnett. It appears that his 2006 paper on polar bear deaths is not in question. What is, however, is his management of a current study on "Populations and Sources of Recruitment in Polar Bears."
Facebook has acquired Push Pop Press, a digital publishing platform for e-books, in an effort to expand and update itself in a competitive social media climate.
If polar bears had any clue of the scale of speculation about the extinction threat they are facing due to climate change, they would have probably said "you're kidding, right?"
Acclaimed climate change scientist Charles Monnett has been suspended over "integrity issues" in regards to a 2006 paper on polar bear drownings in the Arctic.
