A handful of super powerful tropical cyclones in the last decade has a couple of experts proposing a new category of whopper hurricanes: Category 6
A handful of centuries-old sponges from the Caribbean are causing some scientists to theorize that human-caused climate change began sooner and has warmed the world nearly a degree Fahrenheit more than most scientists previously thought
The United Nations' climate chief says to keep Earth from overheating too much, the nations of the world need to put fewer loopholes in climate agreements and far more money — trillions of dollars a year — into financial help for poor nations
While the U.S. is shivering through bone-chilling cold, most of the rest of world is feeling unusually warm weather
The latest calculations from several science agencies showing Earth obliterated global heat records last year may seem scary
Earth shattered global annual heat records last year and it's flirting with the warming threshold that nations wanted to stay within to avoid the worst consequences of climate change
New research shows that the average liter of bottled water has nearly a quarter million invisible pieces of ever so tiny nanoplastics
The climate negotiations that just finished in Dubai hit upon the essence of compromise, finding common language that everyone accepted, at times grudgingly
