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.
Researchers in Britain looked at the effects of temperature on approximately 2,000 species of plants, animals and insects and found that species undergoing the greatest warming have moved the furthest. The results are published in the journal Science, and have helped to reinforce what scientists have long been saying — that there is a link between climate change and shifts in species' global ranges.
Two swimmers have survived rare shark attacks in waters off Russia’s Pacific coast this week within 24 hours, emergency ministry and media said on Thursday.
For the first time, NASA researchers have mapped the speed and direction of ice flow in Antarctica.
Animals and plants have adapted to global warming by moving regions up to three times faster than previously thought by scientists, a report showed.
If Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas and candidate for the 2012 Republican presidential nomination, is trying to show that he's qualified to lead an enlightened, diverse, complex society amid a period of economic, social, and technological change, he's doing an awful bad impression.
Plant and animal species have reacted to global warming by moving towards the north, away from the equator at a faster rate to avoid Earth's rising temperature, reveals a survey of nearly 1,400 species.
NASA has teamed up with researchers from the University of California and various space agencies to map the Antarctica ice flow.
The Earth's rapid warming has shifted the climate in many areas, prompting species to shift with it, a variety of studies suggested. Most of these studies looked at a limited number of species or narrow geographic region, which means that there isn't a clear global picture yet.
Gov. Rick Perry, R-Texas and a candidate for the 2012 Republican nomination for president, said Wednesday he doubts man-made climate change is occurring, and also asserted that some scientists have manipulated the climate change research data to keep the issue alive.
The United States has already tied its full-year record for storm damage -- with more than $35 billion in damage from tornadoes, floods and heat waves -- the National Weather Service said, and there are still 4 1/2 months left in 2011, including hurricane season.
New research indicates that Arctic sea ice may temporarily stabilize or expand over the next few decades after its rapid retreat that saw a historical peak in July. Arctic ice has been declining since the start of satellite monitoring in 1979, and half of the trend is attributed to human activity, the study also revealed.
Global Warming and Climate Change are phenomena that broke the bonds of scientific circles to be 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 debates, some of which somewhat bitter. A couple of days back reports of Al Gore's use of curse words against skeptics, during a heated rant, was doing the rounds on the Internet. The Nobel Peace Prize winner called thos...
A devastation of conifer forests about 250 million years ago was caused by tree-killing fungi whose growth was triggered by global climate change, says a University of California, Berkeley, study that warns it could happen again.
Former Vice President Al Gore isn't a happy camper. He's frustrated that people doubt the theory of global warming.
