While artificial intelligence has ushered in a new era of more accurate weather forecasting, A.I. models may still struggle to predict freak storms.

One of the best forms of heat relief is pretty simple: trees.

While air-conditioning protects people from dangerous heat, it also significantly worsens global warming – by 2050 potentially producing more carbon dioxide than the current annual emissions of the United States, a new study reveals.

Experts have warned that extensive storm damage caused to one of South Devon’s most iconic routes is likely to become more frequent as global sea levels rise and the impacts of extreme wave events increases.

Up to 30% of bird diversity hotspots, places where large numbers of different bird species occur, in the western United States face threats from high-severity wildfires in the future that could eliminate critical forest habitats, according to new research published in the journal Nature Communications.

It’s one of the latest technologies for sequestering carbon: Crush silicate rocks, add to crop soil, and let the rock dust naturally react with carbon dioxide.

A two year field experiment carried out in the world’s northernmost cultivated peatland, located in Pasvik in Finnmark, shows that greenhouse gas emissions can be greatly reduced by raising and maintaining the water table at 25–50 centimetres below the soil surface.

How a shifting plate boundary and hot mantle material formed one of the largest canyons in the ocean.

In the longest-running field warming experiment of its kind, researchers have documented dramatic shifts in high-elevation mountain meadows, revealing that changes in climate alter not only the plants we can see above ground, but the invisible world of fungi and microbes in the soil below.

Antarctica’s pale expanses of ice keep water locked up and reflect heat from the planet — but the climate crisis is putting these safeguards at increasing risk.
