And in more unsettling climate related news...

 

Researchers at Stanford and elsewhere also found climate change “substantially increased” the chance of armed conflict in a small portion of cases in the past century.

Elizabeth Warren, Joe Biden, Bernie Sanders and other Democratic hopefuls are competing to deliver the most aggressive climate policy packages.

A new Stanford study finds that removing methane from the atmosphere, and converting it into carbon dioxide, could combat global warming.

The push comes as Waikiki Beach faces frequent flooding thanks to climate change's rising sea levels.

Under one pessimistic climate change forecast, mosquitoes could expand their range all the way to the Arctic, redefining what we mean by 'tropical' diseases.

Climate change and population growth, meaning less supply and more demand, could equal an “existential threat,” England’s environment chief warned.

Klaus Lackner’s once wacky idea increasingly looks like an essential part of solving climate change.

If we do nothing to curb greenhouse gas emissions, the weather in New York City will feel like Alabama and Los Angeles will be as hot as the tip of the Baja Peninsula.

Climate change is causing Greenland's massive ice sheets to melt much faster than previously thought, a new study has found, and it may be "too late" to do anything about it.

The country now has a suite of buildings that generate more energy than they use.

Those rising temperatures are creating an epic underwater refugee crisis among marine life.

But a big economic transformation now could bring 65 million jobs and save 700,000 from early death linked to air pollution, says a new report.

The revival of the futuristic planes threatens "large environmental consequences," a new report finds.

Some of the world's largest companies estimate they face roughly $1 trillion in climate-related risks, with most of that looming in just the next five years.

To avoid the worst risks of climate change, we need climate legislation that can harness the power of the whole economy to drive down emissions.

The proposal would transform air-conditioning units into machines that capture carbon dioxide and transform it into fuel.The context: Air-conditioning units are energy intensive, causing emissions that contribute to rising global temperatures (which then, ironically, cause more people to buy AC units).

To fight climate change, the city is forcing the buildings, like the Empire State Building and Trump Tower, to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The announcement follows several natural disasters that cost the company $847 million since 2016, including $626 million in 2017 alone.

Spreading particles in stratosphere to fight climate change may cost $2bn a year

Here’s what’s going to happen: Every year for the foreseeable future, scientists, activists, and citizens concerned about climate change will have a discussion in one form or another about geoengineering. There will be editorials and vague proposals in journals; there will be think pieces on the need not to do it, but to talk about it. These will increase in volume and urgency as our situation becomes ever clearer, perhaps starting right now, with the release of the latest and most dire Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report.

Stanford and Berkeley scientists found that suicides, as well as depressive language on Twitter, rise as temperatures do.
