Research coming from UCLA and five other universities has proven that by far the most effective way to prevent further global…
New research from Stanford University has revealed that certain types of coral are able to acclimatise to rising sea temperatures…
How we talk about climate change has a lot to do with how we feel about it, and what we’re willing to do to act on it. Recent research from the US found that the terms “global warming” and “climate change…
The West Antarctic Ice Sheet will eventually collapse, according to new research. A section of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet…
It is estimated that a substantial portion of recent global warming in the Arctic is caused by naturally occurring warm “sweet…
The Australian Attorney General, Senator George Brandis, is no stranger to controversy. His statement in parliament that “people do have a right to be bigots” rapidly gained him notoriety, and it isn’t…
Melting permafrost in places like Sweden could result in even higher levels of carbon emissions than predicted, accelerating…
Little-studied synthetic gases could have large effects on the ozone layer and climate if their use goes unchecked, according…
Scientists are meeting this week in Yokohama, Japan, to finalise and approve the latest report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s Working Group II – the part of the IPCC process that…
Warming in the Arctic has now reached the northernmost sections of the Greenland ice sheet. After a long period of stability (more than 25 years), we have found in a new study of the region that the northeast…
Crop yields could be dramatically reduced due to climate change as soon as the 2030s. Researchers have found that with only…
Despite the evidence that shows greenhouse gases from burning fossil fuels are leading to changes in the planet’s climate, the development of large scale technologies to slow or stop these effects has…
A newly discovered microbe could contribute large amounts of methane to the atmosphere, playing a significant role in future…
Kerry Emanuel, professor of atmospheric science at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology answered questions posed by the public on Reddit. The Conversation has curated the highlights. Weather With…
Heatwaves are one of the most important climate-related risks for Australians. Sometimes called the “silent killers”, they cause the greatest number of deaths of any natural disaster type in Australia…
New research has found that the release of forest emissions and smoke from wildfires had a far greater impact on global warming…
Only six of the previous 19 Winter Olympics host cities would be suitable to host the Games again by the end of this century due to warming temperatures, according to a new analysis. Average February maximum…
The “pause” in global warming since 2001 can be explained by the discovery of unusually strong winds in the Pacific, climatologists have found. Global surface air temperatures have more or less flatlined…
Debunking myths requires an understanding of the psychological research into misinformation. But getting your refutation out in front of lots of eyeballs is a whole other matter. Here, I look at two contrasting…
