Will Global Warming Lead To War?
We've all heard the arguments about what effect global warming will have on the planet, but what effect will it have on humanity? A new study suggests that one effect could be more warfare. More » -

A Deadly Fungus Is Stalking This Creature
This alien-looking creature is actually a newly discovered species of tree frog, Ecnomiohyla rabborum. And now it's one of 47,000 species on the latest endangered-species list. The culprit is an aggressive fungal infestation, introduced into the frog's habitat. More » -

A Major Breakthrough In Cloud Engineering
Climate change is caused in part by airborne particles that make clouds more or less reflective - thus raising or lowering temperatures on Earth. Now scientists say there are chemicals from trees that could turn cloud reflectiveness up to maximum. More » -

Global Warming Will Make You Feel The Earth Move Under Your Feet
Climate change will do more to the planet than cause temperatures to rise, warn scientists. Warming oceans may also change the Earth's axis to shift - and possibly make the planet spin faster, as well. More » -

Global Warming Gave Rise to the Inca Empire
Global warming often evokes images of melting icecaps, disappearing landmasses, and natural disasters. But the results aren't always so dire. For the Incas, global warming meant 400 years' prosperity and growth, allowing them to create a formidable empire. More » -

Arctic Summers Could Be Ice-Free And Filled With Life By 2030
Arctic waters may look a lot less forbidding by 2030. New research suggests that the ice sheet on top of arctic waters will melt in summer, creating the perfect conditions for new life to take up summer residence there. More » -

Could Overpopulation Save The Earth From Global Warming?
A team of scientists at Cal-Tech think they might have found a way to save the planet from global warming: breed faster. The more of us there are, the more nitrogen we take out of the atmosphere, cooling the planet. More » -

Pollution May Actually Be Good for the Earth
The hazy weather caused by pollution has made plants far more productive when it comes to scrubbing greenhouse gasses out of the air. Scientists say factories that belch smoke may be slowing global warming. More » -

Global Warming Swimming Pool Shows the Fun Side of Climate Change
No, this isn’t a scene from The Day After the Day After Tomorrow. It’s a swimming pool design ordered by British banking group HSBC, supposedly to increase awareness about the possible consequences of global warming. But far from portraying rising sea levels as a disaster of apocalyptic proportions, it suggests a strangely tranquil future where cities will be transformed into underwater amusement parks. More » -

Spectators at a Show for the Dying World
This image of a whale's bleached bones in Antarctica documents the disturbingly beautiful effect of climate change on the planet. It's an image by Sebastian Copeland, one of 18 photographers who entered their work in a competition funded by a Swiss bank that will give $85,780 to the winner. While photography about climate change may not help with acidification, that doesn't change the potency of some of the shortlisted artists. Pick a winner from the shortlist gallery after the jump.

Feeling Toasty Yet? You Will Soon
Here's a dried-out lake in the Chaco region of Paraguay, 400 km north of Asuncion. The region has been experiencing an unprecedented drought that's lasted months, and the government has declared a State of Emergency. (That's a dead cow in the background.) Perhaps not coincidentally, yesterday the Australia-based Global Carbon project said our global carbon output from burning fossil fuels increased 2.9 percent from 2006 to 2007 — at the very high end of scenarios that the International Panel on Climate Change had predicted. That translates to a possible rise in global temperature of 11 degrees Fahrenheit by the end of the century. More » -

Images of the Arctic Ocean as We Will Know It
With the Arctic Ocean ice melting rapidly — in fact, this summer it's already at the second-lowest level on record, and still shrinking — it's time for us to start imagining what life will be like in the Arctic Circle when all the ice is gone. Some scientists predict that the Arctic Ocean could be ice-free as soon as September, but more likely it will be ice-free all summer by 2030 or 2050. What will that look like? You can see an ice-free Arctic Ocean above. And we've also got a gallery of images showing you the Arctic Ocean as it was, as it is, and as it will be. More »
