A doomsday climate change prediction stating half of the world’s beaches will vanish by the end of the 21st century has been rubbished by new research. The findings claim global warming will not spell the end of the world’s beaches, which are economically and ecologically vital to coastal communities. The latest research says it is possible beaches will … Read more
Global warming is being accelerated by the melting of light-coloured Arctic sea ice — which exposes more ‘dark’ ocean water to absorb more sunlight, a study warned. Researchers from Germany found that this process forms a ‘vicious circle’ of positive feedback — one that could lead to an additional temperature rise of 0.77°F (0.43°C). The consequences … Read more

The Komodo dragon — the world’s largest species of lizard — could be driven to extinction by global warming and rising sea levels, a study has warned. Numbers of the iconic reptiles — also known as ‘Komodo monitors’ — are in rapid decline, with only around 4,000 left on the five Indonesian islands they call home. … Read more
Komodo dragons could be driven to extinction by global warming and the rising sea levels on the five Indonesian islands where they have lived for over a million years Komodo dragons are the largest species of lizard, growing up to 10 feet long They are classified as vulnerable with only around 4,000 left living in … Read more
Trees with faster growth rates die younger across multiple countries and species, which reduces their overall carbon storage capacity, a new study claims. Researchers analysed tree-ring data of more than 200,000 records of 110 species across Europe, Asia and the Americas. They found faster tree growth, indicated by tree rings, is causing earlier mortality and … Read more
Trees with faster growth rates die younger across multiple countries and species, which reduces overall carbon storage capacity, a new study claims. Researchers analysed tree-ring data of more than 200,000 records of 82 species across Europe, Asia and the Americas. They found tree faster growth is being offset by earlier mortality and release of the … Read more
