Leading microbiologists have issued a warning, saying that not including microbes -- the support system of the biosphere -- in the climate change equation will have major negative flow-on effects.

The first mission involving the autonomous submarine vehicle Autosub Long Range (better known as 'Boaty McBoatface') has for the first time shed light on a key process linking increasing Antarctic winds to rising sea temperatures. Data collected from the expedition will help climate scientists build more accurate predictions of the effects of climate change on rising sea levels.

A new study published this week is warning East Coast beach-goers a dangerous flesh-eating bacteria is on the rise at their local spots, potentially due to warming water temperatures related to climate change, according to CBS News. The report published on Tuesday said there have been five cases of Vibrio vulnificus, a flesh-eating bacterial infection which is spread by handling or eating contaminated seafood, over the past two years and have been linked to the Delaware Bay. All five patients were treated at one New Jersey hospital so the authors of the report wanted to warn the area about the expanding geographic boundaries of the bacteria."It is important for physicians -- who may have...

The polar research vessel discovered a significant link between Antarctic winds and rising sea temperatures.

Doctors are reporting five cases of people sickened by contact with the flesh-eating bacteria Vibrio vulnificus in Delaware Bay - farther north than it's typically found. They warn it may become more prevalent in northern areas as waters warm.

"Flesh-eating" bacteria that live in the ocean may be spreading to previously unaffected beach waters thanks to climate change, according to a new report.

The Greens' election success reshapes the agenda as EU leaders decide the bloc's priorities.

Five South Jersey patients became seriously ill after they became infected with a strain of bacteria that thrive in warm, brackish water.

Barcelona — Climate change is an “existential issue” for humankind, and stepping up efforts to keep warming to globally agreed limits is urgent, the UN climate chief said on Monday, calling on governments to make progress at talks in Bonn. The mid-year climate negotiations are tasked with resolving outstanding issues in setting rules for the 2015 Paris climate accord, ahead of an annual conference in Chile in December. Patricia Espinosa, head of the UN climate change secretariat, said existing country pledges to cut planet-warming emissions would heat the planet by 3ºC from...

The yellow submarine dubbed Boaty McBoatface made a significant climate change discovery on its very first research mission.
