Tropical rainforests are together with our oceans the largest carbon sinkers and their preservation is certainly one of the key factors that will decide the outcome of our battle against global warming and climate change.The deforestation of tropical rainforests doesn't only mean less trees to store carbon but it also represents a major source of carbon emissions by releasing approximately 1.1

The increased emissions of greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO2) are not only contributing to global temperature increase but also cause huge ocean acidification.According to the latest study by the University of Hawaii man-made carbon emissions have been main factor behind the increased acidity in our oceans. In fact, man-made carbon emissions over the last 100 to 200 years have raised

Sadly we can’t hide from climate change and our only chance is to try to slow it.Slowing climate change is lot easier to say than done, particularly without the legally binding international climate deal that would force countries to reduce their greenhouse gas emissions, particularly carbon dioxide emissions as the result of excessive fossil fuel burning.World needs fossil fuels to satisfy ever

The increased amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide is a main factor behind the ongoing climate change issue. According to a recent study published in a journal Nature Geoscience the increased amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere will also postpone the coming of next ice age on Earth.The scientists estimate that so far there have been at least five ice ages

The world leaders still haven't agreed to commit to major greenhouse gas emission cuts and without this type of legal agreement world doesn't stand a chance in fight against global warming and climate change.Every new year without the major cuts in emissions brings us one step closer to a climate change tipping point, a 2C temperature increase, seen by many scientists as the point of no return

The answer whether renewable energy is really the best solution to climate change isn't simple, in fact the right answer to this question would be both yes and no. Yes because only renewable energy has the potential to replace fossil fuels and with it reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions and no because transition to renewable energy is not going fast enough.Time is extremely important

Our forests store approximately 45 percent of the carbon found on land which means that they are vital in our fight against climate change. However, the increased climate change impact has in the last ten years resulted in frequent droughts that have caused deaths of trees in all continents, except Antarctica.Dying of trees and lesser forest cover gives extra impact to global warming by reducing

Climate change is still low on political agenda and world leaders are yet again more worried about global finances than about global climate, just like this was the case in 2009. Big European debt crisis accompanied by the recent US economic woes are taking away from climate talks in Durban any chance of success.The scientists have already issued warnings that greenhouse gases are back on rise in

Copenhagen 2009 – disappointment, Cancun 2010 – disappointment and Durban 2011 - you guessed again disappointment. The climate change talks in Durban, South Africa have started but expectations are very low, in fact many analysts believe that the new climate deal isn't possible in this political climate any time soon.The Kyoto protocol expires next year and it certainly doesn't look like world

When thinking about the worst possible climate change scenario extreme weather events are really the first thing that comes to my mind. There are many scientists across the globe who would agree that if we fail to significantly decrease global level of carbon emissions this scenario will become our everyday's reality.The latest UN Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) report on

The new international climate deal that would oblige all countries to major cuts in greenhouse gas emissions looks more and more unlikely. World is much more worried about the current global economic woes and a mounting debt crisis than about what increased climate change impact will do to our planet.The next stop for climate change talks is in Durban, South Africa, from Nov 28 to Dec 9, with

Climate change is by all means the greatest environmental threat of our time. Since climate change is a global issue it requires solution on global level which means that all countries of the world must be involved. However the unity of the world is highly questionable topic particularly when you consider almost no success in international climate talks up to this date.The best solution to tackle

We can still stop climate change from totally running out of control. However in order to do so we have to make sure to stop global temperatures' increase of two degrees. Many climate change scientists are convinced that this decade could well be our last chance for decisive action against climate change.If only world leaders would share their opinion and agree on new climate deal.

Africa is a continent most vulnerable to climate change. Already very hot and dry Africa will soon become even dryer and hotter due to climate change. More droughts will cause even more hunger in the Black Continent and Africa will find it extremely hard to cope with the climate change impact in years to come.Africa's economy will take a massive hit by climate change, especially since Africa

Climate change has already brought many animal and plant species at the very brink of extinction while other plants and animals are shrinking in size because of warmer temperatures.Jennifer Sheridan and David Bickford at the National University of Singapore have studied climate-change episodes in the distant past as well as experiments and observations in recent history. Their conclusion was that

EU's main climate goal is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 20% by 2020. After a 7% drop in greenhouse gas emissions in 2009 many thought that EU will achieve this goal with relative ease. But 2009 was anything but a representative year in terms of emission cuts because of global recession.According to the latest data European greenhouse gas emissions rose by 2.4% in 2010 boosted by an

The difference in opinion between the developed and the developing world is still main stumbling block in climate change talks any by the current looks of it world is still extremely far from agreeing the Kyoto successor. The failure to reach new climate deal will mean that countries will have to commit to only voluntary steps which are unlikely to halt climate change impact.By delaying the

Renewable energy is growing at a record level in many countries around the globe and also the use of energy sources is becoming more and more efficient. But how much does this actually count in our fight against climate change? Very little, because carbon dioxide emissions still continue to grow even despite these measures. Why is that?The main reason why renewable energy and improved energy

Climate change has many scary faces so it's really no surprise that many environmentalists refer to climate change as the biggest environmental threat of our time. Climate change however doesn't have only negative environmental impact but also negative economic and social impact because it will very likely cause huge migrations of people in years to come.The cocktail of extreme weather events and

Arctic’s see summer ice has experienced the new record low according to the European scientists. Since the measurement first started back in 1972 Arctic ice never covered such a small amount of area as it did this year, at only 4.24 million square kilometers. The second lowest year at record was 2007 when Arctic's summer ice covered an area of 4.27 million square kilometers.The US scientists from

Soot emission (black carbon emission) refers to dust-like carbon particles resulting from the incomplete combustion of a hydrocarbon and is one of the most important factors adding to a global warming and climate change.American chemist Mark Z. Jacobson, Ph.D. believes that reducing soot emissions could significantly slow down melting of Arctic's sea ice.He, in fact, believes that controlling

Climate change will completely change our way of life and future generations will have their hands full in dealing with different climate change threats. Among the most talked about climate change threats is also a major sea level rise. Sea levels are already increasing very fast and in years to come several areas of the world might completely disappear from the global map of the world, being

Glaciers, or to be more precise glaciers melting, is one of the most obvious indicators of climate change. The main reason behind the rapid melting of glaciers in many part of the world has been the significant increase in temperatures. The warmer temperatures cause glaciers to retreat, and the only thing that can compensate for the rapid melting of glaciers is increase in snow precipitation. In

The large number of climate change scientists agree that the Arctic ice will eventually disappear completely during summer months if climate change continues at current pace. Some believe such scenario will very likely happen before the year 2050. The several different studies have showed that in the last thirty years Arctic summer ice has shrunk by more than a third driven by unusual warm

According to the Environment Canada, the country’s major environmental agency, Canada will fail to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and achieve its 2020 targets because of emissions from tar sands. The rapid development of tar sands in Canada which injects steam into thick oil deposits to produce oil will account for 62 million metric tons of CO2 emissions from 2005 to 2020, almost dwarfing 31

Russia's permafrost melting could further increase global climate change impact as according to the latest scientific estimates Russia could lose 15-30 percent of its permafrost by the year 2050.Permafrost refers to the soil that has been permanently frozen and it currently covers around 63% of Russia's territory. Once permafrost melts it will release massive amounts of greenhouse gas methane

The ideal solution to solve the climate change issue would be turning carbon dioxide (CO2) into something useful such as fuel and plastics but the current scientific reports claim that this solution is years off, mostly because of very high construction costs.Some pilot projects showed great promise such as manufacture of concrete, plastics and oils from carbon dioxide but the main drawbacks of

Forests are together with our oceans the largest carbon sinkers and therefore an important ally in our fight against climate change. According to the recent scientific report our forests sank about 2.4 gigatons of carbon per year in period between 1990 and 2007.Forests are practically the only important world's land-based carbon uptakers. By stopping deforestation and reducing the number of

Spring is the time of the year when everything seems to come back to life after long and cold water. But if the spring comes too early this is certainly not the good news for many plants. Why? Because plants which bloom too early are much more vulnerable to damaging frosts compared to plants that bloom in "normal" time.According to the Canadian scientists from the University of Alberta "early

The subsurface ocean layers that surround the polar ice sheets continue to warm really fast because of the global warming phenomenon. This will in years to come significantly add to melting of the Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets increasing sea level rise well beyond current projections.Polar ice sheets are even more troubled with the rapid warming of ocean layers than with the increased air

Climate change could soon create huge problems for marine ecosystems in the Baltic Sea because Baltic sea is becoming less salty. The reason why Baltic sea is becoming more and more freshwater sea is because of the increase in precipitation in the river basins that flow into the Baltic Sea.Less salty sea will in years to come cause extinction of many marine species leading to a huge problems in

The international climate deal certainly looks like the only possible solution to effectively tackle the climate change threat but this fact is practically useless since it is very clearly that developed and developing world still cannot find a mutual language needed for agreement.Hopes are quickly fading for new international climate deal. Developing nations are pressing hard, insisting that

World is still not putting enough efforts into a fight against climate change. This is not only visible from the fact that world still hasn't agreed upon new climate deal but also because fossil fuels use is still not decreasing which means that carbon emissions still continue to rise on global scale.World has several different options at its disposal in fight against the climate change but they

Forests are together with our oceans the largest carbon absorbers on our planet. This is the main reason why deforestation is one of the most significant factors contributing to global climate change impact.Luckily for us, even despite the fact that forest area have expanded very little or none at all in EU and North America, forests are still managing to increase their capacity of sinking carbon

Climate change is being particularly felt in Arctic where ice is melting rapidly. The melting of the Arctic will not only significantly increase global sea levels but will also very likely accelerate global climate change impact. This is because there are huge quantities of organic carbon locked away as frozen plant matter in the big permafrost region of the Arctic, and the rapid melting of

Many scientists believe that the period between now and 2020 may be our last chance to stop climate change from running out of control. The only way to successfully tackle climate change would be to decarbonize global economy and make shift to renewable energy sector. This however doesn't seem to be happening any time soon because world is still far far away from reaching the international

Climate change is sadly much more than just an environmental threat, it is also a serious health threat that could cause the death of millions of people across the globe. According to the new book "Changing Planet, Changing Health: How the Climate Crisis Threatens Our Health and What We Can Do about It" written by Dan Ferber and Dr. Paul Epstein climate change has already sparkled the spread of

To many people removing the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere seems like an ideal solution to tackle climate change. But are our current technologies enough to pull such massive task? According to the team of scientists lead by Princeton engineer Robert Socolow using currently available technologies to remove carbon dioxide from the atmosphere would be far more expensive than simply preventing

The poor, developing countries will no doubt need rich countries to provide them with huge financial aid in order to successfully tackle climate change. But with the huge funds, there is also a huge possibility for major corruption, especially if you consider that according to the Transparency International (TI) the 20 nations most vulnerable to climate change – where millions in grants and aid

In his Earth Day proclamation the U.S. president Obama said "The United States can be a leader in reducing the dangerous pollution that causes global warming and can propel these advances by investing in the clean energy technologies, markets, and practices that will empower us to win the future."Sadly the words (even coming from the most powerful man on our planet) are of no use without the

The science is warning us that the climate change is the biggest environmental issue of our time. Though there is no reason for scientists to lie to us many people are still not worried about climate change as they do not consider it to be a serious environmental threat.According to the latest survey conducted by Ipsos MORI only a quarter of Britons believe climate change is one of the most

Climate change will not only bring more frequent extreme weather events and cause significant sea level rise but is also very likely to threaten crop yield which could in years to come lead to even more hunger in the world. This is because climate change will likely make plants more sensitive to infectious diseases.Many scientists such as Dr Newton from the James Hutton Institute, Dundee,

Climate change is already having negative impact on many species, and in years to come things will likely become even worse. Among the species most sensitive to climate change are definitely corals, and if the world fails to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions corals could in years to come totally disappear from our seas and oceans.Professor Ove Hoegh Guldberg from the Global Change

Is climate change science really more about predictions and possible scenarios than dealing with actual facts? Well, it certainly looks that way though there are two things that most scientists agree upon as the valid facts. The number one is the fact that climate change is really happening, and number two the climate change impact will become much stronger in years to come.Why is climate change

The extremely cold weather served for many years as the natural protection for Antarctica's native species. Invasive species didn't stand the chance to survive in Antarctica simply because the weather was too cold. But the impact of climate change is constantly growing, the temperatures are rising, and with these changes invasive species are looking more and more like a huge threat to

Our oceans are the largest absorbers of carbon dioxide (CO2), and they (together with forests) play a vital role in global fight against climate change. Are all oceans equally important in sinking the carbon emissions from the atmosphere? Well, if the results of the latest international study are true, then the answer is no they're not.According to the latest study resulting from the joined work

Climate change presents a huge threat to human well being. There are many people wondering why are world leaders doing so little to save us from seeing the worst of climate change. International climate talks are always just talks and nothing else, and such strategy will definitely not be enough to tackle climate change. What we need is an immediate action, and not more talks and false

1. Reduce greenhouse gas emissions on global level. In order to do so countries must agree new international climate deal, at this point this looks to be impossible because of difference in opinions between the developed and the developing world.2. Help animals and plants to adapt to climate change or else many species will go extinct. The biodiversity loss is already huge, and climate change has

This year's climate change talks will be held in South Africa, and by the current looks of it everything will remain only on talks. This is because many political analysts believe that it is almost impossible to expect international climate deal to be agreed given the current political situation in the world.Last year's climate change talks in Cancun ended with some fairly modest advancements,

The most obvious solution to tackle climate change is to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions, most notably carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. But would this solution actually stop warming of our planet?According to the researchers from the University of Washington even if greenhouse gas emissions were to be stopped right now, earth would still very likely continue the warming trend because

Polar bears have over the years become negative symbol for climate change, and the most obvious negative impact of climate change in reference to polar bears has certainly been the rapid loss of ice in polar areas.Polar bears depend on ice not only for hunting prey (because early melting of the ice makes it more difficult for the bears to hunt seals successfully) but also for successful

If you take into account the recent record fires and massive floods, and also the visit of a giant Cyclone Yasi you could pretty much say that climate change is already showing its scary face in Australia. In any case these latest events have at least spurred very lively political debate down under.There are still many people in Australia who do not see any connection between climate change and

There have been several different reports claiming that climate change is the main factor responsible for the melting of Himalayan glaciers but the latest study by scientists at the Universities of California and Potsdam has found that half of the glaciers in the Karakoram range, in the northwestern Himalaya, are doing quite an opposite, namely growing and not melting.If the results of this study

The year 2010 was the warmest year on record, and Greenland being one of the most sensitive areas to increased temperatures, certainly felt the effects of that by having 50 days longer melting period in many areas, from the end of April till the mid September.2010 summer temperatures in Greenland were 3C above the average, and this is the main reason why Greenland experienced this prolonged

The year 2010 was the year of big expectations, and there were many environmentalists who believed that world would be finally able to stop the further increase in CO2 emissions by agreeing on new climate deal. Sadly, Cancun climate talks, despite providing some glimpses of optimism, still weren't successful in uniting the world to tackle the climate change, well at least not in the form of new

There have been many studies conducted with the purpose of determining the level of glacier melting and shrinkage in years to come, and the latest comes from the the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada. Here are some of the most interesting conclusions of this study:1. Mountain glaciers and ice caps are projected to lose 15-27% of their volume by 2100, though this will

Here are some of the most mentioned climate change threats:More frequent extreme weather events such as droughts, floods, hurricanes which will not only create huge environmental but also huge economic damage.Arctic totally free of summer ice, and rapid melting of Antarctica's ice. This could cause serious sea level rise, and threaten many coastal areas around the globe.More hunger in the world,

Many scientists support the thesis that once temperatures reach "tipping point" then the climate change will eventually push the Arctic's ice towards the total melting, meaning that Arctic summer ice would completely disappear.Among scientists who do not agree with this opinion is Steven Amstrup, a professor at the University of Washington. Professor Amstrup in his recent study concluded that "

It is very difficult to characterize Cancun climate talks as successful. True, there were some small steps forward like the decision to give more money to poor countries in a form of a Green Climate Fund that would give $100 billion a year in aid to poor nations by 2020 (though the mechanism for raising this amount of money each year is still unclear). Other positive notes include certain

These are the most important things world needs to do in order to stop climate change from strengthening its impact:1. Significantly reduce the global level of greenhouse gas emissions, not only carbon dioxide (CO2) but also other greenhouse gases such as methane.2. Agree on new international climate deal that would legally oblige countries to curb their emissions. Kyoto protocol definitely needs

UK will have to seriously increase its efforts in order to ensure low-carbon economy in years to come because based on the last report UK will need to triple its current efforts towards cutting emissions in order to transform to a low-carbon economy by 2050.According to the latest report by wildlife charity WWF and innovation company Ecofys UK is well behind Germany, Denmark, Ireland and Sweden

There are many people who are still convinced in the positive outcome of Cancun climate talks that are just behind the corner.

The only way developing world can adapt to climate change is if rich world carries the financial burden needed to help developing nations adapt to droughts, floods and rising sea levels. Last year's Copenhagen summit was generally one big failure but nevertheless the rich countries have still pledged to raise $100bn a year in climate aid from 2020 in order to help developing world.

Climate change talks have failed miserably in Copenhagen, and since there's obviously not enough political will to agree legally binding international climate deal something else must be done instead. A global push for more clean energy looks to be one of the best solutions. International bodies such as UN should be doing much more to support clean energy by monitoring the situation regarding

According to the recent reports this year is one of the hottest years in recorded history. Arctic summer sea ice continues to shrink, coral reefs are being devastated by global bleaching, there are massive wildfires in Russia, flooding in China, but these obvious signs of climate change are still not enough for world leaders to do something about it. So much was expected from Copenhagen, and in

When talking about greenhouse gases that significantly contribute to climate change most people only refer to carbon dioxide (CO2) but there are plenty of other greenhouse gases, many of which are much more powerful than CO2. World’s most potent greenhouse gas is sulphur hexafluoride (SF6), and scientists have calculated that this gas is around 24,000 times more effective than carbon dioxide at

Arctic sea ice is still experiencing a heavy melting, in fact according to the latest report Arctic sea ice melted from a winter maximum of about 15 million square kilometers to a September coverage area of just five million square kilometers, which represents the third biggest melting since satellite monitoring began about 30 years ago. Not only that, this data also means that the four greatest

Despite many promises and strong support from president Obama, US still failed to pass cap-and- trade legislation, as there is still not enough political will for such action, or as some others would say fossil fuels lobbies are still too powerful. The only somewhat good news came from climate negotiator Todd Stern who recently said that despite the failure of cap-and-trade legislation US won’t

The majority of scientists believes that climate change is not only the real thing but that we are also yet to see the worst the climate change has to offer. Climate change is already there and we need to adapt to it as quickly as possible. This lead us to a question can today's science also predict what will our future climate look like? My answer is no, there are too much factors that affect

According to the latest scientific reports Earth is warming up rapidly, and this should in short-term increase the global amount of rainfall. The scientists have even calculated that the rainfall will increase globally by 2-3 per cent for every degree Celsius that the Earth's surface heats up, so by the current looks of it we are in for a heavy rainfall in years to come. There are some

Climate change protests are becoming more frequent in Australia and many hope that this will create enough political pressure to urge the major political parties to take action on climate change.Tens of thousands of climate change protesters in Adelaide, Brisbane, Canberra, Darwin, Hobart, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth have protested against current climate change policy.The politicians still fail

If you ask climate change scientists about the connection between climate change and ocean circulation many of them will tell you that there is a very strong connection between these two. A team of scientists from the University of Cardiff has managed to find the evidence which connects fluctuations in ocean circulation to the climate change and temperature.The primary focus of their study was

The recent reports say that global temperatures in the first half of the year were the hottest since records began, and this is a clear indicator which shows the strengthening of climate change impact. This however doesn't look to be giving lot of sleepless nights to politicians because global climate deal is still far, far away.Rich countries protect their own interests, developing countries

Since world leaders still cannot agree on how will new climate deal look like there is increased number of scientists who believe that we should give geoengineering a shot. The simplest geoengineering definition would be injecting sunlight-reflecting gases (aerosols) into the upper atmosphere to counteract the effects of global warming from greenhouse gas emissions.Can geoengineering really turn

Will Congress pass this year new climate legislation? Difficult to tell, and based on previous experiences it is perhaps wise not to expect miracles. In any case, changes are coming too slow, and legislators still look to be kind of afraid with the fact that this new climate bill could hurt domestic industry.I do not look at climate change issue in that way. New climate deal will perhaps have

It is difficult to say whether there's some actual progress with climate change talks, and the moment when countries could actually agree upon new climate deal still remains a mystery, impossible one to predict. The differences between developed and developing countries still present huge obstacle, and issues like climate change funding for developing nations, emissions targets and mechanisms for

Rich countries are still not doing enough to tackle climate change. From the current point of view it looks like the world leaders still hope for some kind of miracle that will drive climate change away but sadly "a miracle to save the day" doesn't look like the possible scenario. The obvious truth is that without the strict and legally binding climate deal that would oblige countries to

Many people connect climate change only with extreme weather events and increased temperatures but climate change is much bigger problem that has many different dimensions. One of these dimensions is no doubt food supply, and according to the latest report from the Utrecht University climate change will threaten the food supply of more than 60 million people in Asia in the coming decades.The main

In the last three decades, the Arctic ice has shrunk by about 10% a decade, which is around 28,000 square miles each year.Polar bears are particularly vulnerable to climate change, and the loss of Arctic's ice. Polar bears have experinced significant decline in population in the last couple of years, and some scientists estimate that if current trend continues polar bears will become extinct

What is the current condition with Arctic's ice? Well, the latest report coming from an international science team led by Ohio State University says that less ice covers the Arctic today than at any time in recent geologic history, a clear sign of ongoing climate change.This study should be noted trustworthy because researchers have compiled the first comprehensive history of Arctic ice by

Climate change and warmer temperatures are likely to increase salinity in the Baltic sea which could lead to major changes for the Baltic's sensitive ecosystems. The researchers from the University of Gothenburg have discovered that warmer temperatures as the result of climate change will likely reduce river runoff to the Baltic sea, and increase salinity in the Baltic Sea.Scientists fear that

Many climate change scientists predict that 2010 will be the hottest year in recorded history. Many people will say that this will not be the case, especially given the very cold winter in Europe and North America, but we must not forget that climate change is global phenomenon, and therefore if we look at the global data we can see that period from January to March was one of the seven warmest

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) definitely lost some of its authority after some mistakes, most notably the statement that Himalayan glaciers would melt by 2035, were discovered as this gave plenty of ammo to climate change sceptics and fossil fuel lobbies.Media was very quick to react on this, and these mistakes are certainly one of the reasons why the number of climate change

One of the richest men in the world, Bill Gates, is funding research into devices that would be able to suck up ten tonnes of seawater every second and spray it upwards which would enable the creation of white clouds to reflect the Sun’s rays away from Earth thus preventing the further warming of our planet.

A new climate change deal that recently so miserably failed was all about reducing the amount of greenhouse gases (most notably CO2 emissions) in order to stop a further strengthening of the climate change impact. Can world really reduce the amount of carbon emissions in years to come? Well some scientists are even convinced that we can not only significantly reduce the amount of carbon emissions

Not so long ago Obama promised that climate change legislation is one of his top goals, and that he will do everything that is in his power to make this happen. But climate bill still looks like a very distant possibility so it is really no surprise that green business leaders and environmentalists have started pressing him to fulfill his promise.The current overall impression is that White House

Despite the recent increase in number of climate change skeptics, the climate change is still on, especially after the latest NOAA's (National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) report which showed that world's combined global land and ocean surface temperature made last month the warmest March on record.If land and ocean temperatures get separated then the ocean temperatures were the

The world still hasn't matured enough when global interests are at stake, and thus we are very unlikely to see new climate deal in any time soon. The differences in opinions between the countries, and lack of political will is making new climate deal impossible to reach, and once again the humanity has showed that our civilization isn't exactly as advanced as many think it is.

The Copenhagen deal can be characterized as one big failure where world leaders showed to the public that not only do they fail to realize the seriousness of climate change threat but that there is also no cohesion on global level that would create an adequate atmosphere for one big global political decision needed for new climate change agreement.We'll very soon discover where exactly is the

Arctic sea ice has been shrinking rapidly in the last few decades, and this has lead to popular belief among many climate change scientists that Arctic region has already passed a climate tipping point, meaning that even bigger loss of sea ice is expected in years to come, and that very soon Arctic ocean could be ice-free during the summer months.The latest study by Masayo Ogi, a scientist with

The scientists have measured that because of the increased climate change impact the temperatures in Australia had risen about 0.7 degrees Celsius (0.44 Fahrenheit) in the last 50 years. The temperature increase is happening in every part of Australia, and this is a clear evidence of ever-growing climate change impact.Since the temperatures are overall increasing in Australia this has lead to

Despite the recent increase in number of climate change skeptics due to some controversies about former climate change studies majority of the scientists still believe that human activity caused climate change, and that climate change impact is becoming stronger and stronger.The UK Met Office study, after assessing 110 research papers on the climate change concluded that the climate change

Forests, especially rainforests play vital role in decreasing the impact of climate change because they absorb large quantities of CO2 from the atmosphere. This is the reason why forests are sometimes called as "the nature's answer to global warming".With the increased temperatures that are expected in years to come there will be also an increased chance of wildfires and they are very likely to

If we accept the current dominant climate change theory then climate change is already happening with the worst yet to come once temperatures increase too much. This means that we cannot stop climate change since climate change is already here, and the only two things we can do is make sure not to increase climate change impact even further, and also to adapt to new climate conditions the best we
