Reforestation models have been over exaggerated -- and not by a small factor -- but by as many as three times of a factor. The goal set by the Paris Agreement in 2015 for countries to limit their global warming to 1.5 degrees is now close to being surpassed.
An international team of scientists from the University of East Anglia (UEA) led by the Berlin-based Mercator Research Institute on Global Commons and Climate Change (MCC) conducted a study, which was published today in the journal Nature Climate Change.
A group of scientists from the University of Oxford developed a new algorithm that reduces spin-up time by 90%, allowing for faster and more reliable climate predictions. The research was published in the journal Science Advances.
A detailed reconstruction of climate during the most recent ice age, when a large swath of North America was covered in ice, provides information on the relationship between CO2 and global temperature. Results show that while most future warming estimates remain unchanged, the absolute worst-case scenario is unlikely.
A comprehensive multi-model study published in Science, led by the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) and the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU), reveals that global biodiversity decreased by 2% to 11% solely due to land-use changes in the 20th century.
Recent research published in Science by an international team led by Utrecht University, which includes Imperial College London, asserts that prioritizing emissions reduction targets creates a disadvantage for emerging green companies.
A new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience led by scientists at University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science, and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Atlantic Oceanographic and Meteorological Laboratory, found that human-induced environmental changes around Antarctica are contributing to sea level rise in the North Atlantic.
Florida is projected to lose 3.5 million acres of land to development by 2070. A new study highlights how Florida can buffer itself against both climate change and population pressures by conserving the remaining 8 million acres of "opportunity areas" within the Florida Wildlife Corridor (FLWC), the only designated statewide corridor in the U.S.
The health of the world's coral reefs is once again under severe threat, as scientists from NOAA and the International Coral Reef Initiative (ICRI) have confirmed the onset of the fourth global coral bleaching event, marking a critical environmental issue that spans the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans.
The global food crisis is increasing due to rapid population growth and declining food productivity as a result of climate change.
