The Antarctic ice sheet’s future depends how a chain of events plays out. A new study finds the evidence points in one direction.
The New Orleans region is likely to see a hurricane about every seven years and a major hurricane about every 20.
Some of the climate changes will be irreversible for millennia. But some can be slowed and even stopped if countries quickly reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, including from burning fossil fuels.
Climate change science was driven by curiosity in the past. Now climate researchers need to focus on managing the risk of global warming’s ill effects.
A climate scientist and policy scholar sees three possible scenarios following Trump’s plan to pull out of the Paris Agreement –
ranging from a small uptick in emissions to a global recession.
A researcher on sea level rise and climate change impacts reviews Kim Stanley Robinson’s new novel, ‘New York 2140,’ which envisions the city’s future in the face of extreme sea-level rise.
Climate change isn’t just an environmental problem. It is one of the fundamental economic challenges of this century.
Making expanded fossil fuel production the core of U.S. energy policy, as proposed by Donald Trump, and backing out of climate agreements would cost the U.S. economy billions and transform the planet.
