Climate change is not just about facts. It is wrong to dismiss the disengaged on the grounds that they are out of touch with reality.

In emergencies, dumping ocean water on fires may be the best option. But seawater can have long-term effects on equipment and ecosystems, as a novel coastal experiment shows.

Antarctica’s riskiest glacier is a disaster in slow motion, a polar scientist writes. But in a rare bit of good news, the worst-case scenario may be off the table.

Our discovery of a tundra ecosystem, frozen under the center of Greenland’s ice sheet, holds a warning about the threat that climate change poses for the future.

Global ocean temperatures have been at record highs almost daily for over a year, and economies are feeling the heat.

Cities can take action to stop subsidence – or else they need to adapt.
