Yellowstone National Park's landscape may be totally altered by 2075 as climate change increases the frequency pattern of large wildfires, according to a new study released in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Large fires in Yellowstone National Park could significantly increase due to climate change, drastically altering the park people know today, a new study suggests.
Global warming will cause more wildfires at Yellowstone National Park. The combination of the wildfires and rising temperature will fundamentally change the ecosystem at Yellowstone, possibly by as soon as 2050, according to a new study led by Professor Anthony Westerling of the University of California, Merced.

The effects of human-induced global warming were reduced by one third by stratospheric aerosols, according to a study by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).
Scientists thought it was volcanoes that caused a mass extinction on earth 201 million years ago (this extinction paved the way for the rise of dinosaurs).
Global warming, a detectable trend in the 1980s and 1990s, all but disappeared in the 2000s.
A huge release of methane gas may have triggered the prehistoric mass extinctions that allowed dinosaurs to become the dominant life form on earth, according to a new study.
Richard Marles, the Australian government's Parliamentary Secretary for the Pacific, warned the United Nations Wednesday of rising sea levels and their impact on low-lying islands and asked them to include climate change as a global security issue.

Four nuclear reactors in Japan, Israel and Scotland were forced to shutdown due to infiltration of enormous swarms of jellyfish, which clogged the seawater cooling system of the plants.
Thanks to a single, female ancestor -- a brown bear from Ireland, who lived around 20,000 to 50,000 years ago - polar bears can now know where they came from, a study in the latest version of Current Biology shows.
Palaeontologists have discovered a near-complete skeleton of the largest marsupial that ever existed.
