Latest about climate change
Antarctica ice melt could cause 100 hidden volcanoes to erupt
More than 100 volcanoes lurk beneath the surface in Antarctica. Ice sheet melt could set them off.
Roman Empire grew after catastrophic volcanic eruption, study finds
Research shows that A.D. 536 was not the worst year to be alive.
Massive Antarctic icebergs' split from glaciers may be unrelated to climate change
The first analysis of extreme calving events in Antarctica finds no correlation with climate change, highlighting the significance of common, smaller calving events for ice loss and instability.
Climate change is the worst. Here's just how bad it got this year.
The big news in Earth science this year was all about climate change, with extreme weather, flooding and drought attributed to warming. Scientists also warned about much worse to come if we don't rein in carbon emissions.
Expect more pandemics to sweep the globe in the coming decades
When human activities disrupt and unbalance ecosystems, such as by way of climate change and biodiversity loss, things go wrong.
The most important and shocking climate stories of 2024
Soaring carbon emissions, an unexpected new source of global warming, and collapsing ocean currents shocked scientists in 2024. Here are our picks for this year's top climate change stories.
Drastic Antarctic sea ice loss could fuel extreme weather in years ahead
Massive reductions in Antarctic sea ice in recent years has been correlated with more stormy days in the Southern Ocean, and could have implications for vital ocean currents.
Watch Greenland lose 563 cubic miles of ice in under 30 seconds in disturbing new time-lapse video
Satellite imagery from NASA and the European Space Agency reveal 13 years of melt on the Greenland Ice Sheet.
Scientists say sprinkling diamond dust into the sky could offset almost all of climate change so far — but it'll cost $175 trillion
The geoengineering scheme, known as stratospheric aerosol injection, would not be cheap, but scientists say it could buy us some time until we reach net-zero carbon.
