Climate change will make fish smaller, warns report

Study finds aquatic species could shrink 10 times more than land-dwellers, as they adapt to a warming world.

World’s coral reefs at risk from warming waters

World’s coral reefs at risk from warming waters

New study published in Nature Climate Change says a combination of warming temperatures and ocean acidification is putting nearly all of the world’s coral reefs under threat.

Amazon deforestation could reduce tropical rainfall and affect Brazil's hydro plans

Amazon deforestation could reduce tropical rainfall and affect Brazil’s hydro plans

Deforestation of tropical forests could significantly reduced rainfall, having negative impacts for people living in tropical regions, according to research published in Nature.

Ice shelf in antarctica

Rapid warming in the Antarctic could destabilise thousand year old ice shelves, say scientists

Scientists find rapid warming over last 50-100 years contributed to the collapse of ice shelves witnessed over last 20 years, warning of more occurrences with future warming.

Global map showing index scores per country. All waters within 171 Exclusive Economic Zones (EEZs) were assessed

New Ocean Health Index shows “room for improvement”

New index aimed at scoring every coastal nation in the world on their contribution to the health of oceans finds a global average of 60 out of 100.

Oceans, forests and ecosystems continue to soak up rising man-made carbon emissions, for now, say scientists

Oceans, forests and ecosystems continue to soak up rising man-made carbon emissions, for now, say scientists

New research shows that while a slow down of carbon absorption of the planet’s ecosystems is projected, today they continue to keep up with the rising levels of emissions being released into the atmosphere.

Circular economy #1: Why pollution, resource depletion and climate change tell us it's time to ditch our linear vision of growth

Circular economy #1: Why pollution, resource depletion and climate change tell us it’s time to ditch our linear vision of growth

In the first of a three-part series on RTCC, we explore what is meant by the circular economy and outline the concept’s five key principles

Ocean warming a largely man-made phenomena, say researchers

Ocean warming a largely man-made phenomena, say researchers

New research finds that the warming of ocean temperatures over the last 50 years has been largely due to man-made greenhouse gases.

“Significant Challenges” for life in the Arctic Ocean, says report

“Significant Challenges” for life in the Arctic Ocean, says report

Unique all-season report finds risk to biodiversity in the Arctic Ocean and points towards “significant challenges” faced by the region’s nature. Meanwhile another study finds some species could still thrive in the Arctic.

Polar bears need longer to adapt to climate change, say researchers

Polar bears need longer to adapt to climate change, say researchers

New research has found the polar bear to be much older than originally thought, showing it adapted much less rapidly to harsh conditions of the Arctic. Researchers say this questions its ability to adapt to current climate change.

Short-term climate change gains for plants quickly lost, says research

Short-term climate change gains for plants quickly lost, says research

New study finds that the grass is not always greener. While grasslands could thrive in early stages of climate change, they will quickly deteriorate, new research shows.

Research breakthrough: CO2 rises caused warming that ended last ice age

Research breakthrough: CO2 rises caused warming that ended last ice age

Compelling new evidence suggest that rises in CO2 caused much of the global warming responsible for ending the last ice age, strengthening the link between CO2 and rising temperatures today.

New report: Climate change could lead to increase in extreme weather

New report: Climate change could lead to increase in extreme weather

New research looks to highlight the role climate change has at turning extreme weather events into the record breaking events.

Newborn seal pups vulnerable to climate change

Newborn seal pups vulnerable to climate change

New study suggests that in their first few months of life, fur seal pups could be particularly vulnerable to climate change as they use more and more energy to keep warm.
