Researchers have determined how much human-made CO₂ emissions the ocean took up between 1994 and 2007.

This month corals in Lord Howe Island Marine Park began showing signs of bleaching. The 145,000 hectare marine park contains the most southerly coral reef in the world, in one of the most isolated ecosystems on the planet.

The devastating floods in the Indian state of Kerala are a stark reminder of the vulnerability of the world’s most densely populated regions to weather and climate phenomena.

Scientists have been making projections of future global warming using climate models of increasing complexity for the past four decades.

As temperatures at Kew Gardens soared past 21℃, February 26 2019 became the UK’s warmest winter day on record.

“Why did the dinosaurs die out?” The consensus, among palaeontologists and dinosaur crazy seven-year-olds alike, seems to be that about 66m years ago a 10km diameter asteroid crashed into what is now Central America.

The record-breaking 2018 summer heatwave in Japan in which more than 1,000 people died “could not have happened without human-induced global warming”, a study finds.

Since being universally ratified in the 1980s, the Montreal Protocol – the treaty charged with healing the ozone layer – has been wildly successful in causing large reductions in emissions of ozone depleting substances

The presence or absence of collisions between volcanic arcs and continents in the tropics set long-term trends in Earth’s climate, according to new research.

The Australian continent has a remarkable history — a story of isolation, desiccation and resilience on an ark at the edge of the world.

Many of us think that rapid environmental change is a quintessentially modern crisis.

The only explanation for why heat waves affected so many areas over several months last summer is climate change, according to new research.

Early spring temperatures in the town of Deadhorse, on the north coast of Alaska, average -17°C. But with global warming affecting the Arctic more than anywhere, things are changing fast. At the end of March 2019, temperatures in Deadhorse hit 3°C, a whole 20°C warmer than the long-term seasonal average.

The year 2018 brought particularly devastating natural disasters, including hurricanes, droughts, floods and fires – just the kinds of extreme weather events scientists predict will be exacerbated by climate change.
