According to a new study by researchers at the University of Maryland, the oceans were in the process of cooling for about 1,800 years, before human caused climate change started to reverse that trend. The researchers looked at 57 previously published studies on ocean...

California has been having water problems for a while now, and the drought this summer has been particularly bad. One way to lessen the blow of that drought is to protect reservoir water from evaporating, thus prolonging supplies and reducing the need to tap into...

Researchers at the University of Adelaide have been studying underwater volcanic vents to see what kind of effects excess CO2 has on ocean ecologies. Human activity has severely increased the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere, which in turn increases the amount of CO2...

The world’s forests do a lot of work to counteract carbon emissions, breathing in that CO2 so trees can grow. Many climate change models have assumed that trees will continue to do so at a pretty consistent rate, which will help offset humanity’s carbon footprint....
