Cold, wintry weather might make global warming seem like less of a threat or something to joke about. But cold winters still happen as the planet warms. Data shows how winters are getting warmer ...

Global warming affects economies in many ways. The most obvious is damage from extreme weather. Droughts can cause poor harvests, while storms and floods can cause widespread destruction and ...

These record temperatures have spurred discussion and debate about whether the rate of global warming has increased, with some arguing that it has accelerated over the past 15 years. However ...

At no point in the period of Earth's history examined, the study notes, have temperatures warmed as quickly as they're warming now. Global warming and climate change are often used interchangeably ...

A newly proposed method for calculating the global temperature suggests that countries may have already failed their main climate goal: to limit warming to below 1.5C. Scientists using the method ...

For the past several years, a small group of scientists has warned that sometime early this century, the rate of global warming — which has remained largely steady for decades — might accelerate.

But Goessling points to a third, more alarming factor: global warming itself. Low-level clouds tend to thrive in a cool and moist lower atmosphere. As the planet’s surface heats up, this can ...

The exact figure of 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming is less important than keeping global warming as far below that figure as possible. But researchers say the likelihood of doing so is waning.

The world’s wealthiest 10 per cent have caused more than two-thirds of global warming since 1990, according to a major new study that directly links climate disasters to income-based emissions.

Because light not reflected is absorbed, that adds heat to the system and exacerbates global warming. It is part of the reason why the rate at which the planet is warming, until the 2010s around 0 ...

Given record-setting heat waves around the world in recent years, an international team of researchers led by scientists at UC Santa Cruz investigated if the rate of global warming has increased ...
