Scientists have developed a method that allows them to identify so-called climate change "fingerprints" in daily weather observations—and it found consistent evidence of global warming every day since ...

Earlier this month, the first public draft of voluntary “next generation” science standards was released. As conversation about those draft standards takes off, it is imperative for those of us ...

Historical evidence provides a valuable context for models that predict the biological impacts of climate change, but such long-term data sets are sparse for aquatic systems. This Review outlines the ...

Global warming was hot news this year, literally. Perhaps the most unavoidable climate story of 2012 was the warmth that gripped much of the United States, and to a lesser degree, the planet, ...

Climate change is expected to affect every country in the world, but its impact will not be felt equally across all regions and some will be worse hit than others because of a range of different ...

For the first time, scientists have detected the “fingerprint” of human-induced climate change on daily weather patterns at the global scale. If verified by subsequent work, the findings, published ...
