CLIMATE CHANGE

Rising global temperatures are responsible for a reduction in the size of plants and animals all over the world, say conservation biologists. What's more, the disparity in shrinking across species could pose a threat to the natural balance of established ecosystems.

Climate change is not just decreasing the size of ice in the Antarctic; it also stunts the growth of animal and plant species, a new study has found.

Climate Change is causing plants and animals to grow smaller, researchers have found.

Due to changing climates, research suggests how species unable to adapt may see a stunt in their growth.

Starting from the strong polar bears to the tiny house sparrows, a new study has suggested that a wide range of species on Earth seems as if they are shrinking in size, and researchers have blamed increasing global temperatures and changing climatic conditions for that.

Altered climatic conditions and global warming are causing noticeable changes in the size of animals, leading to evolution of miniature versions, new research indicates.

Climate Change has been blamed for many things and add one more to the list: It is stunting the growth of animals and plants because warmer temperatures and lack of water is causing them to shrink, a new study suggests. Researchers also warned that it could affect food production in coming years.

A successful outcome for the next global climate change conference in Durban would be to get everything in place for a legally binding successor to the Kyoto Protocol in less than five years, the European Union's chief climate negotiator said.

Al Gore links several environmental disasters, including the Great Lakes' algae problem, to climate change.

The Occupy Wall Street movement is spreading around the world. There are now protests in Spain, England, Hong Kong. Italy is next in line. Can the international movement be sustained?

Researchers at Oregon State University (OSU) claim to have found the possible cause for “super-eruptions” in massive volcanoes on the earth that occur every 100,000 years and are known to induce planetary climate change.

In the UK, a team of scientists have set out on an Antarctic expedition to get to the bottom of climate change mysteries. Quite literally, the group is planning to drill through three kilometers of Antarctic ice in order get samples from its lake.

Republican Presidential Debate

Republican presidential contenders meet on Tuesday for the seventh debate in their race for the nomination to challenge President Barack Obama in 2012.

New findings by the International Centre for Tropical Agriculture (CIAT) reveals that if preventive measures are not taken, the annual temperature increases and changing rainfall patterns would most likely hamper crop production efforts in West Africa, which currently supplies half of the world's cocoa produce.

Geologists will drill down more than 3,000 meters of ice to reach a sub-glacial lake in western Antarctic that is probably a million years old, in search of new species and clues about climate change.

An ancient lake, hidden beneath 1.8 miles of ice in the western Antarctic area, could contain clues about climate change and future changes in sea level, as well as potentially uncovering new forms of life, according to a team of UK-based researchers and scientists.

Republican presidential hopeful Jon Huntsman called on Monday for a new era of U.S. global engagement based on strong economic partnerships and a leading role in what he said would be a new Pacific Century.

A majority of Europeans say they consider climate change to be one of the most pressing global problems, above an ongoing economic unraveling, according to a new poll released Friday.
