The climate crisis is altering seasonal timings, causing bird breeding and vegetation ‘greening’ to fall out of sync. This phenological mismatch is leading to decreased productivity and potential declines in North American bird populations.
Despite increased water storage from new dams, the percentage of reservoir capacity filled with water is decreasing, underscoring the need for more effective water management strategies.
Flash droughts, quick and severe droughts posing challenges to sectors like agriculture, are predicted to increase with global warming, especially in North America and Europe.
Climate change drives the world’s birds to evolve at varying speeds, transforming their bodies and wings in a race against time.
The study of Earth’s climate change and its impact on biodiversity reveals that many trees face potential extinction and decreased diversity, with uncertain consequences for ecosystems and human livelihoods.
Entire populations of Antarctic seabirds are failing to breed due to extreme, climate-change-related snowstorms.
If elephants, which are already critically endangered, become extinct, the Central and West African rain forest – the second largest on Earth – would lose 6-9% of its ability to capture atmospheric carbon, exacerbating planetary warming.
Each year, 20,000 premature deaths in the United States are caused by the smoke from human-ignited fires.
Climate change threatens endangered marimo algae balls with extinction through deadly sunburn.
Up to one a half million tonnes of carbon, soot, and other particles from combustion end up in deep-sea trenches every year.
