Deep in Brazil's Amazon, scientists have built a "time machine" pumping carbon dioxide into the rainforest canopy to simulate atmospheric conditions predicted for the future to gauge how the biome ...

Scientists have built a 'time machine' in Brazil's Amazon to simulate future atmospheric conditions, gauging the rainforest's adaptation to climate change. The project, AmazonFACE, involves fumigating ...

Trees of all sizes across the Amazon rainforest are getting fatter due to climate change, a new study shows. Rising carbon dioxide (CO 2) concentrations in the atmosphere have created a more ...

In August, I traveled by bus, small plane, and canoe to the sacred headwaters of the Amazon, in Ecuador. It's a place with very few roads, yet like many areas in the rainforest, foreign business ...

Global scientists warn that humanity is on the verge of crossing irreversible climate thresholds, with coral reefs already at their tipping point and polar ice sheets possibly beyond recovery. The ...

Australia’s rainforests are now releasing more carbon than they absorb, as heat, drought, and storms push them past a tipping point.

A short walk beneath the dense Amazon canopy, the forest abruptly opens up. Fallen logs are rotting, the trees grow sparser, and the temperature rises in places sunlight hits the ground. This is what ...

Climate change is killing trees faster than they can be replaced leading to greater carbon emissions, according to a new ...

Brazilian beef is responsible for nearly 25% of tropical habitat loss each year. But there is an environmentally and ...

Environmental advocates call for fossil fuel companies to pay for damages as climate change fuels more destructive hurricanes ...
