The Trump administration has reduced funding for climate research, dismissed federal scientists who worked on the National Climate Assessment, and removed past editions of the report from government websites. Now, critics say, it is taking the next step: rewriting the science itself, according to a lawsuit filed this week by environmental groups. As the Environmental Protection Agency moves to revoke …

That’s where climate change comes in, making New England waters friendlier for the potentially deadly bacteria. “With warmer water temperatures moving further north, it allows Vibrios to survive, during summer months in particular, at higher latitudes than it had previously,” said Hamer. And the water is warmer. Midsummer ocean temperatures were about 2.75 degrees warmer in the period from 2021 …

Facebook Tweet Email Link Satellites, including those used for GPS and communications, will face greater risks in coming decades during solar-triggered geomagnetic storms because of the effect climate pollution has on Earth’s atmosphere, a new study found. The increasing volume of planet-warming carbon dioxide in the upper atmosphere is likely to make the air less dense, while geomagnetic storms have …

In a recent study published in Nature Climate Change, scientists explored the changing dynamics of the Antarctic phytoplankton communities over a span of nearly three decades. The comprehensive research, led by Dr. Alexander Hayward of the Danish Meteorological Institute, paints a worrying picture of a fundamental transformation in one of the most sensitive and important ecosystems on the planet. The …

Picture this: it’s a scorching summer day in the U.S. You wake up in a cool, comfortable room after a solid night’s sleep. You head to work, where the temperature is optimised for concentration. Unless you step outside for a lunchtime walk, you’re completely protected from the heat. Now picture the same scenario in an average European city. You wake …

Dinosaur teeth are best known for their bite, yet new research says they also stored a chemical snapshot of prehistoric air. By probing that record, scientists have rebuilt carbon dioxide levels and plant productivity for the age of dinosaurs with a detail once thought impossible. The study comes from Dr. Dingsu Feng and colleagues at the University of Göttingen, the …

The relatively modest Atlantic hurricane season to date may soon kick into high gear. Long-range outlooks from multiple models are in unusual agreement on the chance of a powerful hurricane moving toward North America in the one- to two-week window. That’s way too far out for any definitive forecasts in terms of location, strength, or timing – or whether this …

Scientists have found new evidence that a massive comet trail may have caused climate upheaval on Earth more than 12,000 years ago. Tiny particles detected in ocean sediment cores suggest that dust from a large, disintegrating comet entered Earth’s atmosphere around the beginning of the Younger Dryas event, a period of abrupt cooling that caused temperatures in the Northern Hemisphere …

Facebook Tweet Email Link Dozens of veteran climate scientists are launching a coordinated response to a Trump administration report that casts doubt on the severity of climate change. The report, released last week alongside proposals to deregulate some polluting sectors, was authored by five researchers well-known for sowing doubt over the impacts Americans are feeling from the climate crisis. The …
