Marine heat waves, associated with climate change, cause the rapid death of corals, research reveals.

More than 100 wildfires are burning across the Arctic in Siberia, Canada, Alaska and Greenland, breaking records for June and July in terms of numbers and emissions from them.

A new IPCC report offers stark reminder that land use policy needs to be radically changed.

Here are seven ways of understanding the IPCC’s newest climate warning.

The Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change is warning of a devastating global feedback loop around how humans produce and consume food. A new report urges immediate action on agricultural practi...

A major report says the West's high consumption of meat is fuelling global warming.

The West Coast this year has seen an unusually high number of marine animal deaths, sending scientists scrambling to understand why. The leading theories all have one factor in common: climate change.

Alaska will soon shatter its record for warmest month, and between sea ice loss, permafrost melt and skyrocketing temperatures, scientists say climate change is thrusting its weather “into record...

It’s time to stop treating the housing crisis and the climate crisis as two separate issues—and start designing solutions for both at once.

Northern Atlantic current is shifting course — with implications for crops and sea levels

Yes, the IPCC report says it's that bad.

As rising temperatures drastically reshape Iceland’s landscape, businesses and the government are spending millions for survival and profit.

Tomatoes and sweet corn didn’t come easy to farmers markets this year. A cold, wet spring meant many farmers had trouble getting into the ground.  “It’s just hard work,” said Dawn 2 Dusk farmer Moses...

Corals, mangroves and seagrass habitats have been affected by extreme weather events, and some may never recover.

The heat wave fits into an alarming pattern of climate-driven extremes. And it’s only going to get worse.

Researchers have developed a new method to rapidly identify the sources of bee pollen to understand which flowers are important for bees.

Plants rely on bees for pollination; bees need plants to supply nectar and pollen. Scientists have studied how climate change affects these mutualistic interactions.

Massive fires burning in the Arctic are releasing so much carbon into the atmosphere right now that they'll make future conditions even warmer and drier.

On Thursday, a special report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) highlighted the key role of traditional landholders and the importance for governments to recognize the land...

This weekend’s mass shooting in El Paso, Texas, has re-opened the festering debates over gun control, immigration, and the president’s penchant for racist hate speech. But the manifesto believed to...

There's a growing consensus that the next year-and-a-half are key in the battle against rising temperatures.

Healthy forests, peatlands, and oceans could absorb carbon dioxide and mitigate further damage from climate change.

By 2050, the world will need to produce 56% more food than in 2010.

Climate change and overfishing have rocked life in the ocean—but some species fare better than others.

Record-breaking Midwest rainfall washed tons of fertilizer and sewage water out to sea, contributing to a devastatingly large patch of polluted water, scientists say.

A new IPCC report is clear: If we can’t figure out how to feed our species more sustainably, climate change will accelerate and make it harder to grow food.

The most comprehensive synthesis of climate change impacts on the global availability of nutrients to date finds that, over the next 30 years, climate change and higher CO2 could significantly reduce...

As more cities and states try to cut carbon emissions, natural gas is becoming a target. The city of Berkeley, Calif., just became the first to ban it in new homes, but it may not be the last.

Calling Natural Gas a 'Bridge Fuel' is Alarmingly Deceptive

It traps atmospheric heat 87 times more effectively than CO2, then it becomes CO2 itself.

Better accounting of methane releases could help us avoid a tremendous mistake.

A New York metastudy details the adverse effects fracking has on Pennsylvania's environment, its climate and human health.

A new study shows that the stuff we consume — from food to knick-knacks — is responsible for up to 60 percent of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Without major action to rein in global warming, the American economy could lose 10 percent of G.D.P. by 2100, according to a report from 13 federal agencies.

A new report claims that temperature rises in Africa have coincided with significant increases in the likelihood of war.

A new report identifies 12 "epicenters" worldwide where changing climate could spark conflict

Is the future simply too horrific to bring children into? Some women, worried about droughts, wars and famines brought on by climate change, say yes.

Drought, worsened by climate change, led to mass migration that helped spark the Syrian conflict, researchers say.

In its crucial land and climate report, the IPCC irresponsibly understates the true carbon cost of our meat and dairy habits, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Climate change "is not just about what the weather is like in 10 years," said researcher Amina Schartup. "It's also about what's on your plate in the next five."

Tidewater glaciers are being ‘eaten away on both ends’ as global warming worsens, suggesting faster sea level rise and ice melt that can alter ocean ecosystems.

Hundreds have died and thousands have been hospitalized since the beginning of July as extreme heat waves smothered countries around the world, a phenomenon scientists warn will intensify.

The proposed rule change would limit the ability of states and tribes to block pipeline plans over concerns for water safety.
