Increasing urban tree cover by 30% would prevent a third of excess deaths caused by hot weather, a study has found.

The largest cholera outbreak in Malawi shows how increasingly extreme weather is having negative impacts on health.

Scientists have found that the Earth’s largest rainforest and its so-called third pole are connected by atmospheric currents that carry heat and rain across the planet. 

Scientists say the vast rainforest critical to Earth’s biosphere is eroding so quickly that it risks an “irreversible catastrophe.”

These giant herbivores prefer to eat from trees that don’t store much carbon, allowing high carbon storing trees to thrive, new research found.

Higher electricity and fuel prices pose another challenge for global winter resorts already reeling from the impacts of climate change.

The temperature in Mohe, a city in northern China’s Heilongjiang province, dropped to -53C (-63.4F) on Jan. 22.

New research finds that global temperatures would be about 0.1°F higher, had it not been for an increase in atmospheric dust.

Study finds that engineered approaches for CO2 removal must increase by a factor of at least 1,300 by mid-century.

A new round of storms threatens to batter soaked state with additional flooding, mudslides and power outages.

Last year was also the warmest ever recorded in 28 countries, continuing a decades-long upward trend of global temperatures.
