14-08-25 Following rapid warming in the late 20th century, this century has so far seen surprisingly little increase in the average temperature at Earth's surface. At first this was a blip（标记） , then a trend, then a puzzle for the climate science communi...

14-04-15 An analysis of temperature data since 1500 all but rules out the possibility that global warming in the industrial era is just a natural fluctuation in the earth's climate, according to a new study by McGill University physics professor Shaun Lovejo...

14-03-25 The climate is warming in the arctic at twice the rate of the rest of the globe creating a longer growing season and increased plant growth, which captures atmospheric carbon, and thawing（融化） permafrost, which releases carbon into the atmosphere...

14-03-06 Some of the world's most recognisable and important landmarks could be lost to rising sea-levels if current global warming trends are maintained over the next two millennia. This is according to a new study, published today, 5 March, in IOP Publishi...

14-03-05 In the mid-1970s, the first available satellite images of Antarctica during the polar winter revealed a huge ice-free region within the ice pack of the Weddell Sea. This ice-free region, or polynya（冰间湖） , stayed open for three full winters befo...

13-12-12 Less than 20 miles from the site where melting ice exposed the 5,000-year-old body of tzi the Iceman, scientists have discovered new and compelling evidence that the Italian Alps are warming at an unprecedented rate. Part of that evidence comes in t...

13-11-29 We all know the feeling, it's a hot summer afternoon and you have no appetite and don't want to do anything apart from lay on the couch. A team of researchers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Coral Reef Studies at James Cook University has show...

13-11-02 Forests with dense canopies create a microclimate that protects a variety of cold-adapted plant species from warming air temperatures, a study has shown. 一项研究发现，拥有浓密树冠的森林能为一些低温植物创造一个没有热空气的小环境。 Researchers found...

13-11-02 An increase in aridity（干旱） due to global warming will disturb the balance of nutrients in the soil and reduce productivity of the world's drylands, which support millions of people, a landmark study predicts. The research was conducted by a glob...

13-05-20 Scientists say the recent downturn in the rate of global warming will lead to lower temperature rises in the short-term. 科学家称，近期全球变暖趋势的暂缓将造成短期内气温升高的降低。 Since 1998, there has been an unexplained standstill in the heating...
