GLOBAL WARMING

The large ice masses in southwest China are also decreasing, coinciding with warming temperatures, according to research published Wednesday.

Many are still skeptics to the global warming phenomenon, but a new Berkeley study appears to confirm the existence of the climate change.

The U.S. Senate, on a bipartisan vote of 74-26 on Thursday, confirmed former energy company executive John Bryson as commerce secretary, despite the objection of some Republicans due to his background as an environmentalist.

California regulators on Thursday approved final regulations for a carbon market that is one of the biggest U.S. responses to 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.

Coral reefs, whose decline was earlier linked with coastal pollution, global warming and sunscreen, are majorly affected by the chemicals released from seaweed.

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.

Republican presidential candidate Rick Perry outlined plans on Friday to dramatically increase energy production and create 1.2 million jobs, taking aim at federal regulations he said are strangling the economy.

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.

Severe seasonal melting has reduced ice floes, floating chunk of ice, in the Arctic Ocean to the thinnest on record, according to researchers. Changes in sea ice thickness and extent also have direct consequences for the ecosystem of the Arctic Ocean, the researchers said.

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.

GOP hopeful Herman Cain, former Godfather's Pizza CEO, doubts Christie's appeal among conservative voters.

The Occupy Wall Street message may not yet but a completely coherent one, but there is a unifying thread amongst the chaos - unemployed youth.

Climate change will cause damage in Canada equivalent to around 1 percent of GDP in 2050 as rising temperatures kill off forests, flood low-lying areas and cause more illnesses, an official panel said on Thursday.
