Greenland is melting from above and from below — and scientists say they’re connected
New research shows that meltwater lakes forming atop the ice sheet may be connected to plumes of fresh water observed deep beneath it.
We’re placing far too much hope in pulling carbon dioxide out of the air, scientists warn
Scientists are increasingly objecting to the assumption that future technologies will somehow allow us to pull carbon dioxide back out of the air.
 
This is how you create a record-breaking hurricane
The key is very, very deep warm water.
 
Al Gore and Hillary Clinton just strongly linked Hurricane Matthew to climate change
And in doing so experts said they are on solid ground.

Climate change has been making western forest fires worse for decades, study says
New research shows a sharp increase in burn area in recent years, linked to climatic changes.
 
Top green group to spend at least $40 million this election, shattering past records
At least $10 million of the $40 million the League of Conservation Voters Action Fund will spend will go to supporting Hillary Clinton.
 
There’s no oxygen left in this campaign for a serious debate about carbon
The real reason why climate and energy issues aren't more prominent in the campaign.
 
Al Gore to appear in hurricane-battered Florida to rally millennials for Clinton
The Miami appearance is timed to coincide with the state's voter registration deadline.
 
What’s the best way to save the whales?
Scientists know that fishing, pollution, climate change and ship noise harm marine mammals. But they don't know which are most dangerous.
