Dinesh de Alwis has lived all his life in Ratmalana, a suburb of Sri Lanka's capital Colombo.

Premature deaths from heatwaves in Britain could more than treble to around 7,000 a year by mid-century if the government does not take action, a committee of lawmakers said on Thursday.

Human-induced environmental and climate change are widely blamed for causing rapid global biodiversity loss, but direct estimation of the proportion of biodiversity lost at local or regional scales are still infrequent. This prevents us from quantifying the main and interactive effects of anthropogenic environmental and climate change on species loss.

Rising global temperatures caused by human activity are making the heatwaves gripping the northern hemisphere more likely, scientists warn.

A brainstorming cum review meeting focused on the new 52-episode radio serial on climate change and global warming was organised by Uttarakhand State Council for Science and Technology (UCOST) in a

A hotter planet could lead to tens of thousands of more suicides by 2050 in the United States and Mexico alone, unless global warming is curbed, according to a study published on Monday.

Rising temperatures are linked to increasing rates of suicide, according to a large new study.

We know that humans are causing Earth’s climate to change.

Nioghalvfjerdsfjorden is a major outlet glacier in Northeast-Greenland. Although earlier studies showed that the floating part near the grounding line thinned by 30% between 1999 and 2014, the temporal ice loss evolution, its relation to external forcing and the implications for the grounded ice sheet remain largely unclear. By combining observations of surface features, ice thickness and bedrock data, we find that the ice shelf mass balance has been out of equilibrium since 2001, with large variations of the thinning rates on annual/multiannual time scales.

This technical note looks at the estimates of the remaining warming that have been used in the IPCC AR5 and in recent studies, and evaluates the consequences for carbon budget estimates to limit warming to 1.5°C.
