Global warming, now dubbed "climate change," which covers both the cooling and warming of the globe, is tied for Americans' last priority.
Behind a chain-link fence in a corner of San Joaquin County sits one of California's — and perhaps the world's — best hopes for combating climate change. Here at the nation's first commercial direct air capture facility, towering trays of limestone mineral powder are working round-the-clock to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Robots skitter and whir around the 40-foot-tall columns, which are part of a multi-step process that will ultimately convert the CO2 to concrete, rendering the...
In 2023, the stark reality of climate change became evident as it contributed to the deaths of tens of thousands globally.
During the unusually dry year of 2018, Sweden was hit by numerous forest fires. A research team led from Lund University in Sweden has investigated how climate change affects recently burned boreal forests and their ability to absorb carbon dioxide.
April showers are increasingly becoming deluges due to climate change, and May flowers will never be the same. And it's not just April; the warming of the planet is causing a year-round, worldwide trend toward more intense but less frequent rainfalls, a dynamic that will increasingly impact plants worldwide, according to a University of Maryland-led study published in Nature Reviews Earth & Environment.
A new study by King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) exposed the serious dangers climate change poses to the Arabian Gulf region, reported the Saudi Press Agency on Saturday. Researchers warned about the potential of catastrophic flooding, which could overwhelm existing infrastructure and lead to significant loss of life and damage the economy, due to the rise in temperatures and more frequent rainfall, as observed in the recent extreme weather in the UAE and Oman.
As a massive heat dome lingered over the Pacific Northwest three years ago, swaths of North America simmered — and then burned. Wildfires charred more than 18.5 million acres across the continent, with the most land burned in Canada and California. A new study has revealed the extent to which human-caused climate change intensified the extraordinary event, with researchers theorizing the heat dome was 34% larger and lasted nearly 60% longer than it would have in the absence of global warming....
Leeds signed off for eight days without a game by falling to their first home league defeat of the season in Saturday lunchtime’s Championship hosting of Blackburn Rovers in which the Whites blew the chance to move back into the top two. Defeat for Leicester City at Friday night’s hosts Plymouth Argyle opened the door for Leeds for whom even a point would have taken them back into the division’s automatic promotion places, albeit having played one game more than the Foxes. As it happened,...
There are 154 national forests in the United States, covering nearly 300,000 square miles of forests, woodlands, shrublands, wetlands, meadows, and prairies. These lands are increasingly recognized as vital for supporting a broad diversity of plant and animal life, for water and nutrient cycling, and for the human communities that depend on forests and find cultural and spiritual significance within them.
