But those who study climate and weather say they are two different things — measured on different scales — and that even the ...

Scientists are using studies and computer models to draw connections between recent extreme weather and climate change. The research organization ClimaMeter said that the snowstorm that hit over the ...

One longstanding theory suggests that glacial melt could actually help slow climate change by feeding algae, but a new study ...

The fastest warming period since 1880 occurred in the past 30 years, according to a Washington Post analysis of NASA data.

The Pacific Ocean is warming so quickly that scientists had to find a new method for detecting and predicting El Niño and La ...

The planet’s warming trend is not just continuing but accelerating, with 2024 confirmed as the hottest year on record and 2025 running nearly as hot. That heat is now translating into ...

Scientists say warming is increasing faster than at any time in at least 3 million years. There is no guide for what comes next.

Increased use of ACs as the planet warms could create what researchers call a “feedback loop,” and higher emissions.

New geological data indicate that marine life is somewhat resilient to warming in the tropics. Chris Fokkema, earth scientist at Utrecht University, discovered that tropical algae were largely ...

As the planet warms, many expected ecosystems to change faster and faster. Instead, a massive global study shows that species turnover has slowed by about one-third since the 1970s. Nature’s constant ...

We all depend on the oceans. They regulate climate over long timescales and affect weather on land. They also host vast ecosystems, provide nutrition for billions, and support livelihoods and cultures ...

As ocean temperatures continue to rise, the water around Massachusetts is warming with it and scientists said the changes are becoming increasingly visible along our coast. Colleen Bowie, who has ...
