Now that a couple of weeks have passed since the Larsen C ice shelf calved one of the largest icebergs of all time (observed by humans over the last few hundred years,...

The long-term trend towards warmer weather continues with the UK experiencing its 13th hottest year in more than a century in 2016, according to the Met Office. Findings in the annual State of...

Two miles thick and covering an area seven times the size of the United Kingdom, Greenland's ice sheet is huge. It's also melting. As the ice melts, it gives way to water, which...

England and Wales now have a one-in-three chance of seeing record rainfall levels in at least one region each winter, according to new research published yesterday by the Met Office that raises...

As an iceberg the size of Delaware broke away from an ice shelf in Antarctica Wednesday, scientists released findings that up to 668 U.S. communities could face chronic flooding from rising sea...

The biggest iceberg in recorded history has broken off of Antarctica’s Larsen C ice shelf, sending a trillion tons of ice trillion-ton Larsen C Iceberg has broken offinto shipping lanes. If only...

Hopes that the world's huge carbon emissions might not drive temperatures up to dangerous levels have been dashed by new research. The work shows that temperature rises measured over recent decades do not...

A new report from GTM Research has highlighted what is becoming an increasingly common refrain these days — solar prices simply continue to fall, and they’re not slowing down, either, with GTM...

A portion of West Antarctica over twice the size of the US state of California partially melted in 2016 as the result of high temperatures brought by an especially pronounced El Niño,...

A team of researchers headed by Professor Paul Dastoor at the University of Newcastle in Australia has begun testing printed solar panels. The experimental panels are made by printing a special electronic...

If the Interdecadal Pacific Oscillation (IPO) hasn’t yet moved into a positive phase, though, the 1.5° Celsius threshold will still be passed by 2031 or so, according to the research. I put “barrier”...

Scientists have just discovered massive amounts of a rare metal called tellurium, a key element in cutting-edge solar technology. As a solar expert who specialises in exactly this, I should be delighted....

Researchers from The University of Manchester have taken a major step forward by describing the quantitative modelling of the electronic structure of a family of uranium nitride compounds  a process that could...

Beijing will create an environmental police force aimed at tackling deadly smog, after the Chinese capital spent the first week of 2017 mostly shrouded in a thick haze of pollution. The new law...
