  • Thinner sea ice may lead to more mercury contamination.

    17 May 2012, 2:00 pm
    The replacement of thicker sea ice that formed over multiple years in the Arctic with a thinner layer of ice that formed during the last winter is changing the air chemistry above the ice and likely increasing the amount of mercury contamination in the ...
  • Extreme rain doubled in US Midwest.

    17 May 2012, 2:00 pm
    The number of extreme rainstorms - deluges that dump 3 inches or more in a day - doubled in the U.S. Midwest over the last half-century, causing billions of dollars in flood damage in a trend climate advocates link to a rise in greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Most mammals won't flee climate change fast enough.

    16 May 2012, 2:00 pm
    As the climate changes over the next century, the ranges of nearly 90 percent of mammal species will shrink – in many cases because animals won't be able to get to areas where the climate is going to become suitable for them, says new research.
  • Global warming: New statistical analysis trys to pinpoint temperature increases by region and season.

    16 May 2012, 2:00 pm
    Average temperatures in the Rocky Mountains could soar by more than 6 degrees in the summer and 4 degrees in the winter in the next few decades, according to a new statistical analysis of climate models by researchers at Ohio State University.
  • Ocean temperature made Australia floods worse.

    16 May 2012, 2:00 pm
    Abnormally high ocean temperatures off the coast of northern Australia contributed to the extreme rainfall that flooded three-quarters of Queensland over the summer of 2010-11, scientists report.
  • Elk River sophomore is an algae alchemist.

    16 May 2012, 2:00 pm
    Elk River sophomore Josh Wolf has a lofty goal -- helping to solve the world's fuel crisis -- using a humble tool: algae.
  • Natural sinks still sopping up carbon.

    16 May 2012, 2:00 pm
    Earth’s ecosystems keep soaking up more carbon as greenhouse gases accumulate in the atmosphere, new measurements find. The research contradicts several recent studies suggesting that “carbon sinks” have reached or passed their capacity.
  • Earth's environment getting worse, not better, says WWF ahead of Rio 20.

    16 May 2012, 2:00 pm
    Swelling population, mass migration to cities, increasing energy use and soaring carbon dioxide emissions mean humanity is putting a greater squeeze on the planet's resources then ever before.
  • UK climate experiment cancelled on patent concerns.

    16 May 2012, 2:00 pm
    British scientists have abandoned an experiment to test the possibility of spraying particles into the upper atmosphere to stem global warming, largely due to concerns over a patent for some of the technology, the project's leader said.
  • UNESCO partner study for climate variability on migration, mortality.

    16 May 2012, 2:00 pm
    Representatives from seven countries in Africa and Asia are meeting in Ghana to assess a study data on the impact of climate variability on Migration and Mortality using the Health and Demographic Surveillance Systems.
