Wolfgang Wagner has resigned as editor of the peer-reviewed journal, Remote Sensing, after it published a hotly disputed article challenging claims of manmade climate change.

The editor-in-chief of a climate science journal has resigned in response to an academic controversy triggered by his publication of a paper co-authored by a leading climate sceptic.

The European Space Agency's Mars Express satellite has been orbiting Mars since around 2003, but it has just stumbled on a rare find that scientists believe is a glimpse into wetter days on the Red Planet. The satellite found evidence that a huge crater on Mars was once a water-filled lake, and ESA said the rare find was revealed by the presence of a delta, which is an ancient fan-shaped deposit of dark sediments, laid down in water.

Global warming and climate change are phenomena that broke the bonds of scientific circles to emerge as 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, often somewhat bitter debates. Within the past month, Nobel Prize winner and leading climate change alarmist Al Gore has called those who deny global warming akin to racists, and pseudo-...

James Hansen, a NASA scientist who famously gave congressional testimony on the environmental impacts of global warming back in 1988, was arrested outside of the White House on Monday.

Euro zone economic sentiment fell more than expected in August, underlining prospects for slower economic growth and expectations that the European Central Bank may cut inflation forecasts and cease raising interest rates.

The state of Alaska will appeal a federal ruling which continues to list the polar bear as a threatened species. In a notice filed on Aug. 26, the state argued that polar bears are not a threatened species as they have successfully survived past climate changes.

Former presidential candidate Al Gore compared the struggle against racism in the South to his personal battle with global warming and its skeptics, TG Daily reported. There came a time when people said, 'Hey man, why do you talk that way? That's wrong, I don't go for that, so don't talk that way around me. I just don't believe that,' Gore said in an recent interview.

He says one day people who doubt global warming will be looked at in the same light as racists.

Concern over climate change has taken a back seat to economic concerns in developed nations, a recent poll indicates.

Researchers are debating the validity of a study that links El Niño to civil strife.

Presidential candidate Mitt Romney, assailed by Republicans for saying climate change is a scientific fact, appeared to alter his position by saying he doesn't think the issue merits substantial government action.

When the weather heats up, people get more uncomfortable and perhaps a little testy. But until now, no one has ever accused heat of causing war.

A new study has revealed a stronger evidence for the climate-conflict link, with data showing that tropical countries affected by the El Niño-Southern Oscillation are twice as likely to suffer internal unrest compared to the phenomenon's cooler, wetter counterpart, La Niña.

Hotter, drier weather brought about by the El Niño climate pattern has been linked to civil conflicts within poor tropical countries, according to a new study.

The El Nino climate cycle brings not only high temperatures and dry weather, but also possibly civil wars, a new study claims.Between 1950 and 2004, the risk of civil wars doubled in 90 tropical countries when bit by El Nino every three to seven years, according to a study published in Wednesday's Nature.

The National Science Foundation said that they found no evidence of research misconduct from Pennsylvania State University climatologist Michael Mann. The climatologist is being simultaneously attacked by climate change skeptics urging him to decrease emission of greenhouse gases.

An international team of researchers has confirmed that the presence of newly discovered deep-ocean circulation system off Iceland could significantly influence the ocean's response to climate change.

Researchers have reported a major reduction in mass loss in Greenland's longest-observed glacier, Mittivakkat Glacier owing to drastic climatic fluctuations.

A new study revealed that global warming has been driving animals and plants towards higher latitudes and higher ground at a rate much faster than previously thought.

Predictions of extraterrestrials invading Earth to destroy our civilization and save the rest of the universe, attributed to NASA, have been disavowed by their author.
