In 2015, the world’s nations set a goal to limit global warming to no more than 0.9 degrees (0.5 degrees Celsius) from now. Most scientists say it is highly unlikely, if not outright undoable, to keep man-made climate change that low, especially since emissions of heat trapping gases a...
"This impending sea level rise will create compound events with other climate factors. For example, although the Pacific is projected to generally face fewer cyclones under future warming, they are likely to become more intense. "These conditions will worsen already deadly storm surge events in cou...
Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama of Fiji, which takes over the presidency of UN climate change conference next year, asked Trump to make the right climate decisions to save the world from "catastrophe." "A global scientific consensus is that it (global warming) is very real," Bainimarama said,...

The Antarctic Peninsula might sound like a remote and untouched region, but the study showed that the effects of climate change are felt there, and it has been warming faster than the rest of the continent. The research team looked at 150 years' worth of data and found clear change points...
There are over 40 possible scenarios of future climate change in all.The IPCC point out that no one future scenario is preferred over the others. They range from the extreme - predicting a warming of +6°C by 2100, to the moderate - just +1°C over the same period. The other ...
