Rapid changes from wet to dry weather can create severe natural disasters. And these precipitation whiplash events are ...

A new study challenges the idea that climate change is behind the erratic wintertime behavior of the polar jet stream, the ...

As we sweat away the summer, imagine walking out of 98-degree heat and into a 72-degree, climate-controlled ballpark to watch ...

From last winter’s polar vortex to this week’s heat wave, Chicagoans have experienced several degrees of uncomfortableness in a few short months. We weather the extreme weather well enough, thanks to ...

Climate change is a huge crisis, and we need to explore every alternative we can to mitigate it. This includes nuclear power for reliable energy and the mining of lithium needed to make ...

Unless society stops pumping more greenhouse gases in the air, “we can expect multiple factors to worsen summer extremes,” a co-author said. “Heat waves will last longer, grow larger and get hotter.

Climate change has tripled the frequency of atmospheric wave events linked to extreme summer weather in the last 75 years and ...

This video explores the mechanisms behind the polar vortex, how climate change is affecting its stability, and what that means for the future of Earth’s climate.

Typically, as the Arctic receives more sunlight in spring, the polar vortex gradually weakens and shifts. This year’s event, however, unfolded abruptly and far earlier than expected. The NOAA notes ...
