According to a study headed by the University of Queensland, mega-droughts, or droughts that persist for more than twenty years or even longer, are expected to increase due to climate change. Professor Hamish McGowan gaining access to stalagmites around 120 meters below the surface in the Grotto...
Earlier this year, scientists warned that one in six animal species could go extinct (灭绝的) due to climate change. Could the same thing happen to our crops and other foodstuffs too? It's clear that farmers in many parts of the world are going to find things harder in the coming decade...

aHence,cities are highly vulnerable to the impact of climate change(sea level rise, droughts, extreme weather events etc.)especially in coastal regions. 因此,城市是高度脆弱的到气候变化(海水平上升、天旱,极端天气事件等)的冲击特别是在海岸地带。[translate]...
The Amazon is one of the world’s wettest places. But since 2005, threedroughtshave hit the rainforest. They were caused by climate change. The trees don’t have enough water to grow. What’s worse, as they become dry, they can easily catch fire. ...
From the 185 events in the dataset—a net of 60,951 deaths are attributable to climate change—75,139 deaths that occurred due to climate change in events that became more likely and 14,187 deaths in events that have become less likely due to climate change. The net statistical value of ...
More than 64% of the climate change-attributed damages are connected to storms, which is expected given the high damages from events such as Hurricane Harvey. Furthermore, 16% of the attributed damages resulted from heatwaves, while floods and droughts are each responsible for 10%, and ...
“Climate change has led to imbalance and instability, so we’re seeing heavy rainstorms, hurricanes and typhoons, floods and severe droughts more frequently,” said Wang. “Industrialization and the consumption of fossil fuels have disrupted the entire ecosystem, causing higher temperatures, melting ...
new research has found deep water reserves under the state which could help solve their drought crisis. Previous drilling of wells could only reach depths of 1,000 feet, but due to new pumping practices, water deeper than this can now be extracted(抽取). The team at St...
