climate change

A new report by a team of British, Danish and Chinese scientists joins the latest wave of studies and projections that warn about the consequences of global warming.

A new study has evaluated public health data from the last 20 years, discovering a number of aspects that are being negatively affected (and will be exacerbated) by climate change. There is already a general consensus that the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation are contributing to climate change, but how will this affect our health in the future?

In the studies and forecasts made on climate change, one parameter is generally not taken into account: the evolution of the affected species.

The first spacecraft dedicated to measuring carbon dioxide levels in the Earth's atmosphere, Orbiting Carbon Observatory-2 (OCO-2), begins its journey at 11.56 a.m. from the Vandenberg base, California (USA), aboard a Delta II rocket.

Emperor penguin populations in Antarctica could experience a serious decline by the end of the century as a result of climate change.

510 million years ago, a series of violent volcanic eruptions completely altered the climate and contributed to the first great mass extinction.

In the Old Continent, it is increasingly difficult to see dark colored butterflies and dragonflies. In fact, these insects are being displaced by others of lighter tones.

A team of researchers from Florida State University has built a model that examines in detail the phenomenon of global warming in the landmass, with the exception of Antarctica.
