NOAA released its list of climate and weather disasters that cost the nation more than $1 billion each. Like many climate and weather events this past year, it shattered the record.

Many storms, heatwaves, fires and droughts slipped under the radar this year.

Climate change is a true existential threat for small island nations, but the US has done little to help the Marshall Islands, which it administered for decades.

La Niña means we are forecast a wet winter – and people are struggling and ill-prepared.

Flooding isn't always destructive – it can be part of our toolkit for restoring ecosystems.

A pattern among the moon, sun, and sea level could help predict sunny-day flooding, say researchers.

Climate change will bring river avulsion, or jumping course, farther inland, predict researchers. It could mean floods in places that haven't had to worry.

Larger differences between the Earth's surface temperature at night and day increase the risk of severe thunderstorms and flood-causing cloud bursts.

Rising sea levels may trap more people than are displaced.
