Global warming has slowed since 1998 even though humans spewing ever more greenhouse gases are almost certainly to blame for damaging the atmosphere. That’s according to a 36-page summary of a report from a United Nations panel released in Stockholm …
Scientists working on a landmark U.N. report on climate change are struggling to explain why global warming appears to have slowed down in the past 15 years even though greenhouse gas emissions keep rising. Leaked documents obtained by The Associated …
A study of a dozen of 2012’s wildest weather events found that man-made global warming increased the likelihood of about half of them, including Superstorm Sandy’s devastating surge and shrinking Arctic sea ice. The other half – including a record …
A new study says man-made global warming may further lessen the likelihood of the freak atmospheric steering currents that last year shoved Superstorm Sandy due west into New Jersey. But don’t celebrate a rare beneficial climate change prediction just yet. …
As the world gets warmer, people are more likely to get hot under the collar, scientists say. A massive new study finds that aggressive acts like committing violent crimes and waging war become more likely with each added degree. Researchers …
Jason-1, a satellite that for more than a decade precisely tracked rising sea levels across a vast sweep of ocean and helped forecasters make better weather and climate predictions, has ended its useful life after circling the globe more than …
With the planet heating up, many scientists seem fairly certain some weather elements like hurricanes and droughts will worsen. But tornadoes have them stumped. These unpredictable, sometimes deadly storms plague the United States more than any other country. Here in …
Ancient rises in sea levels and global warming are partially attributable to cyclical activity below the earth’s surface, researchers from New York University and Ottawa’s Carleton University have concluded in an analysis of geological studies. However, the article’s authors, NYU’s …
If you believe that last October’s Superstorm Sandy was a freak of nature – the confluence of unusual meteorological, atmospheric and celestial events – think again. Cornell and Rutgers researchers report in the March issue of Oceanography that the severe …
With scant snowfall and barren ski slopes in parts of the Midwest and Northeast the past couple of years, some scientists have pointed to global warming as the culprit. Then when a whopper of a blizzard smacked the Northeast with …
