Traditionally, estimates of how climate change will affect global economies have focused on the effects of annual temperature changes. However, the additional impacts of variability and extremes in rainfall and temperature have remained largely unexplored, until now.
Scorching hot days and frigid cold spells may be contributing to an increasing number of deaths and disabilities from stroke, according to a new study.
More than 2.4 billion workers — or 70% of the global workforce — are
The Centre for Migration Studies (CMS), University of Ghana, has disseminated research findings on climate change and migration governance under the Governing Climate Mobility (GCM) project in the Yilo Krobo Municipality of the Eastern Region.
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.
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.
By 2049, economic damage from climate change is expected to amount to approximately $38 trillion annually.
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....
A new 33-country survey released by Ipsos - one of the world's leading market research companies - marking Earth Day, looks at how attitudes to climate change are transforming. The study says that although Indians have a sense of onus on climate change, they live in their own reality. For the survey, Ipsos interviewed 24,290 people online in 33 countries between January 26 and February 9, 2024. Earth day is recognised globally on April 22. Nationally, the study finds that 75 percent or more...
By SETH BORENSTEIN (AP Science Writer) Climate change will reduce future global income by about 19% in the next 25 years compared to a fictional world that’s not warming, with the poorest areas and those least responsible for heating the atmosphere taking the biggest monetary hit, a new study said. Climate change’s economic bite in […]
The ‘MI Healthy Climate Corps’ started in March and members of a new state program are focused on helping communities with initiatives to help tackle climate change.
