Impact models attempt to translate changes in natural systems into effects on agriculture, weather and human health

Either the end of the Little Ice Age or the Industrial Revolution has changed the type of nitrogen incorporated into deep-water corals

In addition to areas of climate science needing more research, the UN body may face a change in mission

Shallow lakes in northern Canada are drying up due to a lack of snow, yet another Arctic impact of climate change

Oil and gas drilling likely responsible for higher emissions of the potent greenhouse gas

A new study suggests more than twice as much of the potent greenhouse gas is bubbling out of the rapidly warming Arctic Ocean, speeding climate change

An uneven set of measurements has resulted in a bias towards cold in global average temperature records, helping create a seeming hiatus in global warming

Size and wind speed of a storm 18 hours before landfall is the best predictor of surge height

Wet areas get wetter, dry areas get drier, storm tracks move toward the poles

Exactly how much natural aerosols from volcanoes and sea spray cool the climate remains an elusive question

A new core from Antarctica could conceivably stretch the climate record back 1.5 million years

Climate scientists know the answer is no, but have trouble communicating that

The causes and impacts of the floods in the fall raise questions about the future

Scientists suggest that the highest possible pollution rates are unlikely

Heat waves are the most dangerous weather for human health but a new technique may allow for as much as two weeks of advance notice

From the agencies to Antarctica, work picked up anew

Researchers are barred from Antarctica at present, with a potentially big impact on Antarctic monitoring

A new study suggests that it would take at least 25 years for a significant difference in the rise of average temperatures to be detected after pollution cuts were in place

The intergovernmental science panel faces questions about its future role in addressing climate change

Scientists are still working to better understand the sources of increasing levels of methane in the atmosphere

Global warming's role was probably small in recent floods

Global warming played a role in half of 2012's litany of extreme weather events, from heat waves to storm surges

Are warmer temperatures in the far north affecting the jet stream?

A new study finds that many crop pests and pathogens are spreading, thanks to changing weather
