From responding to weather disasters to rising competition in the fast-warming Arctic, militaries are exposed to climate change and cannot let it become a strategic "blind spot", security experts say.

Tropical rainforests face threats from global warming, with a study revealing past ecological changes and urging action to reduce carbon emissions. Tropical rainforests, considered the lungs of ...

In the US, where President Donald Trump's administration has scrubbed global warming from government websites, the latest intelligence threat assessment made no mention of climate change. Sikorsky ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Exceeding 1.5°C global warming, even temporarily, increases climate risks and irreversible damages compared to staying below this threshold. Returning to or ...

Get Instant Summarized Text (Gist) Global warming has tripled the duration of marine heat waves since 1940. A model comparing historical sea surface temperatures with current data revealed that ...

Global warming affects economies in many ways. The most obvious is damage from extreme weather. Droughts can cause poor harvests, while storms and floods can cause widespread destruction and ...

Global warming makes Europe’s summers less windy, which reduces wind power generation and could strain European electricity systems which are increasingly relying on renewable energy ...

The surprising January heat record coincides with a new study by a climate science heavyweight, former top NASA scientist James Hansen, and others arguing that global warming is accelerating.

Biodiversity is declining, and global warming is a contributing factor. Some species can adapt to environmental change, but many cannot evolve quickly enough, or at all. As habitats degrade and ...

Season length and temperatures vary naturally from year to year. But the unprecedented rate of global warming observed since the 1950s, due primarily to emissions of heat-trapping gases from ...

Because light not reflected is absorbed, that adds heat to the system and exacerbates global warming. It is part of the reason why the rate at which the planet is warming, until the 2010s around 0 ...

A newly proposed method for calculating the global temperature suggests that countries may have already failed their main climate goal: to limit warming to below 1.5C. Scientists using the method ...
