A research team led by Washington State University have discovered a phenomenon in which some of the world’s deadliest bacteria feed on human blood.
The deadly heat wave that hit Africa's Sahel region in early April would not have occurred without human-induced climate change, according to a study by the World Weather Attribution (WWA) group published Thursday.
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....

Raising speed limits on highways could lead to more crashes on nearby roads, according to new research by the AAA Foundation for Traffic Safety. This “spillover effect” can lead to dangerous clusters of crashes or “hotspots” on local roads within a one-mile radius of the interstate.
Lifestyle factors combined with the ageing population and insufficient action on stroke prevention will see cases rise from 100,000 to 150,000 by 2035, according to analysis by the Stroke Association.
A provocative fresh study has unearthed a correlation between left-wing convictions and both elevated intelligence quotient (IQ) scores and genetic markers thought to be linked with heightened intelligence. As elucidated by psychology researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities in their novel paper, published in the journal Intelligence, a plethora of intelligence assessments revealed […]
Addressing the climate crisis, not wars, should be on top of world’s to-do list, one of the world’s top climate scientists said on Sunday. India should be prepared to face killing heat and related disasters, Friederike Otto, senior lecturer at the Grantham Institute of Climate Change and the Environment at London’s Imperial College, said in an interview with Jayashree Nandi. The climate emergency is supercharging floods, droughts and heavy rain across the world, said the leading climate...
In honor of Earth Month, forthcoming research from the Center for Sustainable Futures and insights from innovative teacher preparation offer strategies to battle one of the most significant crises of our time
A poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that 45% of U.S. adults say they have become more concerned about climate change over the past year.
By ALEXA ST. JOHN and LINLEY SANDERS Associated Press A poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research shows that 45% of U.S. adults say they have become more concerned about climate change over the past year. That includes roughly 6 in 10 Democrats and one-quarter of Republicans. President Joe Biden’s signature climate
