"Mussels provide a sort of 'ecological air conditioning system' within their canopies, just like forests," Laura Jurgens says.

"Our results show the state of the climate in general has implications for how many days out you can say something that's accurate about the weather."

A new catalyst technology could advance efforts to keep methane, which produces more warming than other greenhouse gases, out of the atmosphere.

To accurately predict species distribution and risk of extinction, models must include more than just climate, researchers say.

A new study finds that the global carbon footprint of plastics has doubled since 1995. It now represents 4.5% of global greenhouse gas emissions.

Killer whales are spending more time lingering in parts of the Arctic Ocean that are increasingly ice-free.

The increase in heat-related deaths would be comparable to mortality from other long-term public health challenges in Asia, such as tobacco smoking.

As climate conditions change, tree species are migrating to cooler or wetter sites. Wildfire is speeding up the process, a new study finds.

The magnitude and rate of Earth's warming temperature over the last 150 years far surpasses the magnitude and rate of changes over the last 24,000 years.
