Medicine & TechnologyLong term observation has found that one native plant from the Mojave Desert, the brittlebush, has exhibited remarkable adaptation capabilities despite rising temperatures.
Scientists discovered that greenhouse gases do not have the same effect on the lower atmosphere as they are cooling the mesosphere while radiating the excess energy into the space.
Scientists discover an active methane seep in Antarctica and have monitored its evolution. Its unique factors can help explain the role of methane-consuming microbes and how marine methane enters the atmosphere.
Polar bears could inevitably face extinction by 2100, according to researchers. With climate change continually melting sea ice in the arctic, experts are worried that the species might not be able to survive.
Scientists are optimistic that controlling human activity and implementing guidelines for companies can make a significant impact on lowering the level of methane emissions.
Global warming is causing the Arctic Ocean to host phytoplankton blooms, the rapid growth of microalgae. This imbalance is causing a 'significant regime shift,' experts say.
There's one place on Earth that does not seem to follow the trend of global warming because it keeps on getting colder rather than hotter. A new study sheds light on why this 'cold blob' resists the trend.
A group of researchers has determined that the South Pole is warming at a rate three times faster than the rest of the world. They believe that human activity may have something to do with it and greenhouse gas emissions that could cover up the heating effect of carbon pollution all over the region.
Scientists discover that coral reef islands naturally cope with sea-level rise, contrary to previous claims that these nations are the most vulnerable to climate change.
Authorities warn Texans swimmers about a deadly amoeba called the 'Naegleria fowler', commonly found in freshwater sources in the entire state this summer.
Environmentalists assessed the damage of Russia's most disastrous oil spill last week, concluding that the clean-up may take five to ten years, costing nearly $2 Billion.
Canada has various endemic wildlife species of conservation concern which are increasingly becoming vulnerable to extinction from natural causes as well as human disturbance.
Scientists are warning us to brace ourselves as stronger and more destructive storms and hurricanes could be heading our way. The culprit: climate change and global warming. Click the link above to learn more and to watch a video explanation.
With only a third of a slope along one flank of a fjord in Prince William Sound is supported by ice, an earthquake, prolonged heavy rain, and heat wave will most likely trigger a landslide.
