Call for change in Australia's land management practices to maintain shaded trees for animals to shelter in by day

As per a leaked UN report, CO2 emissions have gone up to 95% from 90% in '07.

The U.S. government spent nearly $62 billion on disaster relief in the two-year period ending Sept.

The strongest scientific warning to date that global warming is man-made may have a muted impact when it is released later this month with many governments more focused on nursing weak economies th

This new analysis published by the Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society links human-caused climate change to half of 2012′s extreme weather.

Summers will continue to get hotter over the next 30 years, triggering more frequent and severe heat waves across the globe, a new study has warned.

The ability of Europe's aging forests to absorb carbon dioxide is heading towards saturation point, threatening one of the continent's main defences against global warming, a study showed on Sunday

Climate change is set to trigger more frequent and severe heatwaves in the next 30 years regardless of the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emitted into the atmosphere, a new study has warned.

Climate change will trigger harsher and more frequent heat waves in the next 30 years regardless of the amount of Earth-warming carbon dioxide we emit, a study said on Thursday.

But targets adopted today for curbing greenhouse gas emissions will determine whether the pattern stabilises thereafter, or grows even worse.

Climatic warming of about 0.5 ° C in the global mean since the 1970s has strongly increased the occurrence-probability of heat extremes on monthly to seasonal time scales. For the 21st century, climate models predict more substantial warming. Here we show that the multi-model mean of the CMIP5 (Coupled Model Intercomparison Project) climate models accurately reproduces the evolution over time and spatial patterns of the historically observed increase in monthly heat extremes.
