A new Murdoch University study has found that cold-blooded animals (ectotherms) are unable to adjust physiologically to daily temperature fluctuations, a limitation that could leave them increasingly ...

Scientists warn that unpredictable climate swings could bring mosquito-borne disease outbreaks years earlier than expected, urging governments to act now on surveillance and preparedness. Study: ...

Changes in external forcing, which can push Earth toward warming or cooling, could also be affecting recent GMST trends. It is well established that the long-term warming trend in the climate is ...

Climate is constantly changing and will continue to do so; we cannot assume a stable climate system even in the absence of anthropogenic influences. Such variability manifests itself over a continuum ...

Adaptation refers to efforts to reduce the risks of climate variability and change and make a system more resilient. Adapting agriculture to climate change can better prepare farmers and producers for ...

The global climate has changed drastically over the course of the 58 years that separate these two photographs of planet ...

A new study published in the journal Nature Communications reveals that the El Niño-Southern Oscillation (ENSO), a key driver of global climate variability, is projected to undergo a dramatic ...

Climate science, for all its remarkable progress, still has some very unnerving blank spots. The planet is behaving in ways ...

Earth is absorbing heat at roughly twice the pace it was two decades ago, and the real-world measurements now sit well beyond what most climate models predicted. A peer-reviewed study published in ...
