CLIMATE CHANGE

Warmer temps are pushing malaria-carrying mosquitoes into areas that were previously too cold.

The sea-ice cover in the Southern Ocean in Antarctica has been relatively stable, while Arctic sea ice has been declining rapidly.

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 plan developed by Stanford University includes an interactive map of the 50 states with custom energy portfolios.

According to researchers, the reflectivity of the Arctic region fell to 48 percent from 52 percent between 1979 and 2011.

On the heels of Secretary of State John Kerry’s warning about climate change, Bill Nye the “Science Guy” and Tennessee congresswoman Marsha Blackburn went head-to-head on NBC’s “Meet the Press.”

A parasite that normally infects cats has been found in Arctic beluga whales, baffling scientists.

Many species will run into ocean or mountain barriers and be trapped with nowhere to go, a study warns.

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

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

New research shows the Arctic’s greatest predator as a better adapter to warmer temperatures than first thought.

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

According to NOAA's global climate report, 2013 was the fourth-warmest year on record and continues a three decade long climate warming trend.

The massive trench was carved when Antarctica detached from the rest of Earth's landmass, creating rifts and chasms, the study notes.

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

A researcher from Zhejiang University has a novel idea for cleaning up China’s polluted air. The technique involves positioning sprinklers on the roofs of tall buildings to spray water into the atmosphere to collect particulate matter.

The weather might be cold right now, but we're still in the midst of a warming climatic trend.

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.
