A changing climate triggers a sudden shift in ocean circulation, creating weather havoc and plunging Earth into an abrupt new Ice Age.

Roughly 11,000 to 5,000 years ago, during the African Humid Period, the Sahara Desert was likely far wetter and greener.

Hurricanes are massive, complex systems that can span hundreds of miles as they swirl around the low pressure of the storm’s eye.

A slowly-developing La Nina is favored to influence conditions for the upcoming winter across most of the country, according to NOAA’s U.S.

Small iron-rich formations found within Western Australia’s Pinnacles, which are part of the world’s largest wind-blown limestone belt spanning more than 1000km, have provided new insights into Earth’s ancient climate and changing landscape.

Rapid warming has impacted the northern ecosystem so significantly that scientists are concerned the region’s vegetation is losing the ability to recover from climate shocks, suggests a new study.

Arctic sea ice retreated to near-historic lows in the Northern Hemisphere this summer, likely melting to its minimum extent for the year on September 11, 2024, according to researchers at NASA and the National Snow and Ice Data Center (NSIDC).

There is a common belief that species are generally moving northwards, due to climate change, with some forced out of hotter southern Europe and others suited to warm conditions now able to establish in previously cooler northern regions.

Chickpeas are a drought-resistant legume plant with a high protein content.

Although all ecosystems are affected by a changing climate, the impacts can take a while to appear.
