A new editorial published in more than 200 health journals challenges health professionals and world leaders to look at global biodiversity loss and climate change as “one indivisible crisis” that must be confronted as a whole. The authors of the editorial call separating the two emergencies a “dangerous mistake,” and encourage the World Health Organization […]
According to a new study by researchers at the Netherlands’ Utrecht University and the University of California, Irvine (UCI), the rate at which Greenland’s surface ice has been melting has increased in recent decades, while surface ice melt in Antarctica has slowed. For the study, the researchers examined the role that katabatic and Foehn winds […]
The loss of pollinator insects is putting some of the most popular tropical crops in the world — like cocoa, coffee, mango and watermelon — at risk, a new study led by researchers from University College London (UCL) and the Natural History Museum has found. The research team looked at how climate change and land […]
When the quality of a particular batch of wine is exceptional, it is referred to as a “good year.” But what factors go into that designation? A new study demonstrates the crucial role weather plays in wine quality from year to year. In the study, a half-century’s worth of scores from wine critics in France’s […]
According to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO), the planet’s hydrological cycle is “spinning out of balance” due to human activity and climate change. Extreme rainfall and droughts, seemingly two opposites on a spectrum of extreme weather, are bringing unprecedented and frequent damage to communities. Flooding from melting ice, snow and glaciers […]
Lager, ale or bitter? Many beer drinkers have a preference, but the taste profile of beer in general is known to be hoppy and at least somewhat bitter compared to other beverages. But that may be changing due to the climate crisis. According to a new study, climate change threatens European cultivation of the aromatic […]
Many plant and animal species that originate from warmer regions are able to acclimate to more northern climates as temperatures increase due to climate change. A new study by an international team of researchers has concluded that, as climate change continues, the likelihood of alien plant species from regions nearer to the equator being introduced […]
Mont Blanc has shrunk 2.22 meters (approximately 7.3 feet) since 2021, leaving it at its lowest height in the 22 years since recordings began in 2001. Mont Blanc is famous for being the tallest mountain in the Alps and of Western Europe, but it has now declined to a height of 4,805.59 meters (15,766 feet). […]
After analyzing 20 years of ocean-color data from satellites, researchers in the UK and the U.S. have found that globally, 56% of oceans are becoming greener. The researchers believe this could be a climate change-driven shift. Researchers used data collected by the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer (MODIS) from NASA’s Aqua satellite, and reviewed images from […]
