Current global climate models (GCMs) support with high confidence the view that rising greenhouse gases and other ...
Estimating past global temperature is important for understanding the history of life on Earth and for predicting future climate. Now, a new reconstruction of Earth’s temperature history over the past ...
Warming is occurring across most U.S. states, though the pace and type of temperature changes vary widely from region to ...
Researchers have identified a "tipping point" about 2.7 million years ago when global climate conditions switched from being ...
(a) Tree-ring based annual temperature reconstructions for the global (GL), Northern Hemisphere (NH), and Southern Hemisphere (SH). (b) Non-tree-ring based reconstructions for the same spatial domains ...
A new study from Chloe Brashear, Tyler Jones and others suggests abrupt warming events were preceded by periods of unusually stable temperatures during the last ice age. The researchers point toward ...
Researchers have found that reef fish from the Arabian Gulf, the world's hottest sea, exhibit a higher tolerance to temperature fluctuations compared to those from more thermally stable coral reefs.
Even when Earth was locked in a global deep freeze, its climate may have kept moving. Ancient rocks reveal seasonal and decade scale cycles beneath the ice during Snowball Earth.
