Arctic Warming Reduces Sea Ice and Energy for Polar Bears

Polar bears struggle to have enough energy to survive because melting sea ice makes it harder to find food.

Climate change’s effects can be reduced by soils storing carbon. But the soil carbon sink is itself vulnerable to climate change.

Climate change is not just in the air—underground climate change expands or contracts the earth, affecting the buildings above.

The Greenland ice sheets are losing their ability to retain meltwater, resulting in faster runoff of meltwater into the ocean.

A study of the variability of the global climate system has revealed that global ocean temperatures are on the rise.

Climate change is here and it’s not good. The very near future promises to be hotter and dryer in some places. Find out what the numbers really mean.

The interaction between ocean and climate is changing and the exchange is intensifying. We’re seeing the consequences of this around the world.

In the midst of a global warming crisis, a new study finds that hot days above 80 degrees are taking a toll on people’s psychological well-being.

Australian forests, accustomed to and dependent on natural fire regimes, are suffering in the new extreme wildfires fueled by climate change.

Despite their apparent similarities, last year’s fires in the Amazon rain forest and the ongoing bushfires in Australia are different.
