Climate change is impacting the world around us. The long-term shift in weather patterns has resulted in hotter temperatures, rising sea levels and the loss of wildlife. It has affected agriculture ...

Modelling climate change over a 500 year period shows that much of the boreal forest, the Earth's northernmost forests and most significant provider of carbon storage and clean water, could be ...

The vegetation in northern high latitudes was likely dense forest before cooling temperatures transformed it into grassland during the Late Miocene —a shift that further accelerated global cooling.

On Tuesday, the United States government published the Fifth National Climate Assessment — an exhaustive summary of the leading research on climate change and how it affects life in every part of the ...

Since the Industrial Revolution, the United States has warmed by roughly 2°F. As temperatures rise, climate change is reshaping coastlines, forests, and grasslands, shifting biomes and forever ...

A new study finds that early human species adapted to mosaic landscapes and diverse food resources, which would have increased our ancestor's resilience to past shifts in climate. A new study ...

As global warming accelerates, scientists say it’s more important than ever to understand how climate extremes such as heatwaves, droughts and extreme rains affect locust outbreaks that can destroy ...

Every four years, the federal government is required to gather up the leading research on how climate change is affecting Americans, boil it all down, and then publish a National Climate Assessment.

Brazilian scientists have pioneered a new vegetation model with a broader array of life strategies that is expected to provide a more accurate representation of the Amazon ecosystem’s functioning and ...
