As Western wildfires get more destructive, scientists are finding a far-off connection to shrinking ice on the Arctic Ocean.

An estimated 15 million people are threatened by floods that happen when glaciers melt rapidly. Nepal's Himalayan communities are on the front lines.

The massive ice sheet on Greenland is shrinking as the climate gets hotter, pouring fresh water into the Atlantic Ocean. That could be setting off a chain reaction that's altering ocean ecosystems.

Galveston, Texas, has some of the fastest sea level rise in the world. To protect the city, engineers need to know how fast ice in West Antarctica will melt. Scientists are racing to figure it out.

A California-based company claims it has doubled the growth rate of their GMO trees. What may be even more exciting to Georgia growers — and the heart of the business model — is what the company promises about how much carbon this new forest can store.  

Baseball home runs appear to be getting a little extra help from climate change, a new study finds. That's because baseballs can fly farther through air that's made thinner by warmer conditions.

As Georgians celebrate the start of the Atlanta Braves' season, weather could change how the game is played. 

Research in recent years has pointed to more incidents of clear-air turbulence in the jet stream brought on by rising temperatures. Airline crews and passengers are feeling the effects firsthand.

A new study finds deforestation reduces rainfall in tropical rainforests, which has grave consequences for agriculture, drought and climate resilience.

The first outbreak this year was in Equatorial Guinea, which has seen 20 deaths already. Now there are cases reported in Tanzania as well for this infectious disease with a high fatality rate.

Western Mississippi is turning to recovery after being hit by a long-track tornado on Friday. Here's what made it so destructive — and why the impact of climate change on tornadoes is still unclear.

The world's worst cyclones hit Bangladesh. Floods are devastating. Yet death tolls are falling. The country's climate disaster strategies offer lessons for all coastal communities.

California has been deluged by storms this winter, but fixing the state's severe drought will take more than rain. The state had deeper problems in how it uses water.

A new U.N. water report warns the world is headed toward a global water crisis if human-caused climate change and population growth aren't addressed.

Cutting greenhouse gas emissions rapidly and immediately will save lives, livelihoods and ecosystems around the world, scientists say. And there are lots of ways to go about it.
