Believing in climate change doesn’t mean you are preparing for climate change
Researchers found that although coastal homeowners may perceive a worsening of climate change-related hazards, these attitudes are largely unrelated to a homeowner's expectations of...
Dual approach needed to save sinking cities and bleaching corals
Local conservation can boost the climate resilience of coastal ecosystems, species and cities and buy them time in their fight against sea-level rise, ocean...
New method gives first global picture of mutual predictability of atmosphere and ocean
Scientists have carried out a novel statistical analysis to determine for the first time a global picture of how the ocean helps predict the...
Multifactor models reveal worse picture of climate change impact on marine life
