Scientists have created a new modeling tool to explain how and where trembling aspen forests died as a result of a massive drought.
Scientists have found that methane-generating microbes found in thawing lake sediments may ramp up production of the potent greenhouse gas, which may lead to further warming.
A lobster-like predator once roamed the ancient seas with two pairs of eyes and prominent grasping appendages.
While biofuel is certainly useful and may help reduce greenhouse gas emissions, it may also be cutting into our food supply.
Scientists have found that coral trout in protected "green zones" are not only bigger and more abundant than those fished in "blue zones," but are also better able to cope with cyclone damage.
It turns out that cold snaps, like the ones that hit the eastern United States over the past few winters, are not connected with climate change.

Scientists may have found a way to clean up algal blooms and turn them into useful products.
When it comes to climate change, disturbed ecosystems may be at risk. Scientists have found that an ecosystem's resistance to changing climatic conditions is reduced when it's exposed to natural or human-caused disturbances.
A lead author of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has announced that a temperature change of two degrees is "utterly inadequate" for protected those most at risk from climate change.
It turns out that Antarctica's floating ice shelves may have recently thinned by as much as 18 percent in several areas over just two decades.
