In cooler times, a similarly rare storm over the Southeast would have delivered less rain and weaker winds, a team of scientists concluded in an analysis.

The National Centers for Environmental Information in Asheville, N.C., sweep together data from around the world to help track Earth’s warming.

The waters of the Atlantic Ocean have been abnormally warm, providing copious amounts of energy that can intensify storms.

Los huracanes suelen debilitarse en tierra. Pero si el suelo ya está húmedo por lluvias anteriores, los ciclones pueden recibir un impulso adicional.

Hurricanes typically weaken over land. But if the ground is already wet from earlier rains, storms can receive an extra jolt that keeps them churning.

By tweaking the chemistry of rivers and oceans, humans could remove billions of tons of carbon dioxide from the air. But huge challenges loom.

At times during the past half-billion years, carbon dioxide warmed our planet more than previously thought, according to a new reconstruction of Earth’s deep past.

Global warming is putting the continent’s ice at risk of destruction in many forms. But one especially calamitous scenario might be a less pressing concern, a new study found.

In a conversation on X, Donald J. Trump and Elon Musk spoke for a bit about climate change. Here’s what they got wrong and what they got right.

Earth’s warming could trigger sweeping changes in the natural world that would be hard, if not impossible, to reverse.
