Scientists spent the first weeks of the year on an expedition to Antarctica to study Thwaites Glacier, which is melting at an alarming rate. If it breaks apart entirely, it could push up global sea ...

Scientists disagree whether human-made climate change or natural fluctuations are mostly to blame for worse-than-expected heat in recent years ...

The Miocene, beginning approximately 23 million years ago, represents a canonical "warm-Earth" interval characterized by elevated atmospheric CO2 and a warmer global climate. The El Niño–Southern ...

A potentially strong El Niño weather pattern will likely emerge this summer and persist through the rest of the year. The hottest years on record generally occur in years when El Niño is active.

There are increasing indications El Niño is likely to form and strengthen into potentially a significant event during the next several months, throwing weather patterns worldwide out of whack and ...

New attribution research shows how extra heat in the atmosphere can turn thunderstorms into factories for dangerous, softball-size hail.

Global warming has picked up speed in the past decade, according to a new analysis from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). By removing short term natural influences such as El ...

Global warming is accelerating at roughly double the pace of a decade ago, raising concerns for Earth systems, biodiversity ...

Shipping giants have suspended operations through the strategically vital Strait of Hormuz following U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran. The Middle East conflict has stoked fears of prolonged disruption ...

As temperatures warmed in Saint Joseph, Michigan, the ice around the shores of Lake Michigan began to break apart and form “ice volcanos.” Video filmed by Nate’s Dronography shows water spewing up ...

Four years of war in Ukraine has brought seismic evolution to the world – to the nature of warfare, the balance of global powers, and to European security. For Ukraine, the war has been a curse – a ...

Modern warming and associated aridification have intensified forest growth decline and tree mortality, weakening forest carbon sequestration. This study aims to investigate how Chinese pine (Pinus ...
