Outlook for the Polar Regions in a 2 Degrees Warmer World
With 2019 on pace as one of the warmest years on record, a major new study from the University of California, Davis, reveals how rapidly the Arctic is warming and examines global consequences of continued polar warming. The study, published today in the journal Science Advances reports that the Arctic has warmed by 0.75 C in the last decade alone. By comparison, the Earth as a whole has warmed by nearly the same amount, 0.8 C, over the past 137 years.

The Climate Crisis Isn't Just Taking Pacific Islanders' Homes, It's Taking Our Identities
According to traditional knowledge, in Southeast Asia at the end of the last Ice Age, “fenua imi,” the swallowing of land, forced people to relocate to faraway atolls in a region now called Oceania. About 4,500 years of global stability allowed for the island cultures to develop and thrive in ways specifically tied to the local environment.

Climate models have accurately predicted global heating, study finds
Climate models have accurately predicted global heating for the past 50 years, a study has found. The findings confirm that since as early as 1970, climate scientists have had a solid fundamental understanding of the Earth’s climate system and the ability to project how it will respond to continued increases in the greenhouse effect. Since climate models have accurately anticipated global temperature changes so far, we can expect projections of future warming to be reliable as well.

Losing Nemo: Clownfish 'cannot adapt to climate change' due to their specific mating habits, scientists say
The star of Pixar's blockbuster "Finding Nemo" may be about to vanish again - this time for good - as its peculiar mating habits put it at risk from climate change, scientists said on Tuesday. They observed the vibrantly coloured clownfish - which live in anemones - for more than 10 years around Kimbe Island off eastern Papua New Guinea.

Arnold Schwarzenegger says environmental protection is about more than convincing Trump
Actor and former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger said that environmental protection efforts need to be bigger than just focusing on President Donald Trump. In an appearance on Meet The Press Sunday, Schwarzenegger and former Secretary of State John Kerry spoke about their efforts to bring awareness to climate change and environmental issues through World War Zero, a climate coalition that includes both men as members.

Scientist's theory of climate's Titanic moment the 'tip of a mathematical iceberg'
When is an emergency really an emergency? If you’re the captain of the Titanic, approaching a giant iceberg with the potential to sink your ship becomes an emergency only when you realise you might not have enough time to steer a safe course. And so it is, says Prof Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, when it comes to the climate emergency.

Terrified of Climate Change? You Might Have Eco-Anxiety
Under the bright white lights of a central London exhibition space, a few dozen people are sorting themselves into groups. An instructor tells those that feel extremely worried about climate change to go to the far end of the room. Those that are less worried should stay closer to her. Moments later, she is mostly alone. Thirty feet away, strangers awkwardly cram together, signaling that they suffer “eco-anxiety.”
