An international team of researchers has developed a computer model that makes predictions regarding four major stressors to the world's oceans over the next several decades. In their paper published in the journal Nature ...
A small panel of researchers has addressed what they suggest is a new threat to combating climate change—neoskepticism—where people believe climate change is real, but do not believe there is anything that can be done ...
(Phys.org)—A group of researchers from Trinity University in San Antonio and The Pennsylvania State University have developed a catalytic system using supported gold nanoparticles that surpasses industry standards by controlling ...
A new study has confirmed the existence of a positive feedback operating in climate change whereby warming itself may amplify a rise in greenhouse gases resulting in additional warming.
