They discovered that emissions from the richest 10 percent of people in China and the United States alone each resulted in an increase of two to three times the heat extremes in vulnerable regions.

The analysis of almost 500 species of North American birds indicates that three out of four species are suffering declines across their ranges, with two in three shrinking significantly.

New research links fossil fuel giants to trillions in heat-driven economic losses, offering fresh momentum for climate liability lawsuits worldwide.

New research finds current climate policies put Earth on a collision course with multiple environmental tipping points, threatening irreversible damage to global systems.

The burning of fossil fuels is the leading cause of climate change, but Trump has repeatedly called climate change a “hoax.”
