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 ...

A study says warming has accelerated in the last decade, with temperatures rising nearly twice as fast as they did between 1970 and 2015.

Global warming may be speeding up, with temperatures rising faster since 2015 and recent record-hot years reflecting a steeper climate trend.

Researchers found the first statistically significant evidence that global warming is accelerating. It's been topic of intense scientific inquiry for years.

But by 2015, that changed—over the past ten years, the world has been heating at a rate of about 0.35°C per decade. All 10 of the hottest years on record have been since 2015. Recent years have broken ...

Mass coral bleaching occurs when unusually warm ocean temperatures disrupt the partnership between corals and the microscopic algae that supply most of their energy, leaving corals weakened and often ...

Is your idea of El Niño and La Niña mainly informed by a 1990s-era Chris Farley sketch from “Saturday Night Live?” The late comedian’s definition was hilarious, albeit a bit lacking in scientific ...

If you think of Earth’s climate system as a backyard swing that’s been gently swaying for millennia, then human-caused global warming is like a sudden shove strong enough to disrupt the usual arc and ...
