The Category 5 storm has been referred to as this year’s strongest storm yet, and is expected to cause more destruction as it moves into mainland China.

Scientists used a phototropic bacterium — bacteria that respond to light stimuli — as a catalyst to generate methane from the greenhouse gas.

A new study published Thursday makes the unconventional claim that “rising biofuel use has been associated with a net increase” in carbon dioxide emissions.

In some regions of the Earth, 180 years of warming has caused the average climate to emerge above the range that was normal prior to the Industrial Revolution, a new study says.

Divers associated with the climate change advocacy group 350.org went underwater marking dead coral reefs, blaming the “reckless behavior of Exxon and fossil fuel companies” for the damage.
