Discussion
Impacts
Ten Species That Are Evolving Due to the Changing Climate
From tropical corals to tawny owls, some species are already being pushed to evolve—but adaptation doesn’t guarantee survival
Climate Change Enters Its Blood-Sucking Phase
As winters grow warmer in North America, thirsty ticks are on the move.
Ghost forests are sprouting up along the Atlantic Coast
In the Arctic, rapidly melting ice is the surest sign of climate change. In less northern latitudes, it’s the increasingly early onset of spring or the rising frequency of severe weather. On Mid-Atlantic and Gulf Coast shores, though, the loudest example of the impacts of warming temperatures are the stands of dead trees known as ghost forests.
Solutions
Sucking carbon dioxide from air is cheaper than scientists thought
Estimated cost of geoengineering technology to fight climate change has plunged since a 2011 analysis.
A new solar heat technology could help solve one of the trickiest climate problems
Making high-temperature industrial heat from sunlight.
