Con­ser­v­a­tive Chris­t­ian broad­cast­er Pat Robert­son said on Thurs­day the wave of scorch­ing tem­per­a­tures across the Unit­ed States has con­vert­ed him into a believ­er in glob­al warming.

An ancient peri­od of glob­al warm­ing spurred the world’s first pri­mates to spread from Asia to North Amer­i­ca, new research shows.

The ani­mals may have tak­en as lit­tle as 20,000 years to dis­perse across the North­ern Hemi­sphere from the moment they first appeared.

Stun­ning beau­ty and the promise of oil and min­er­als are bring­ing more peo­ple to the once-pris­tine continent.

At the bot­tom of the world, more than two miles beneath the wind-blast­ed sur­face of Antarc­ti­ca, sits a won­der of the last untouched continent.

Guest writer Bri­an Soden of the Divi­sion of Mete­o­rol­o­gy and Phys­i­cal Oceanog­ra­phy at the Rosen­stiel School of Marine & Atmos­pher­ic Sci­ence at Mia­mi Uni­ver­si­ty (yeah, that’s usu­al­ly abbre­vi­at­ed) explains about what cli­mate feed­backs are and how they are fac­tored into what we …

A case sched­uled to be argued in front of the nation’s high­est court could change the course of cli­mate change policy.

For years, orga­nized labor has worked hard to raise the min­i­mum wage, while busi­ness groups have cam­paigned to block such a change.

Glob­al warm­ing has loaded the dice in favor of heat waves and may be to blame for the scorch­ing weath­er across much of the Unit­ed States and Europe this sum­mer, accord­ing to sev­er­al of the world’s lead­ing cli­mate scientists.

When the Nin­ten­do Wii launch­es lat­er this year, it will be the least expen­sive so-called “next-gen­er­a­tion” con­sole on the mar­ket. While it may not have next-gen specs, one thing it lacks could be one of its biggest sell­ing points: the next-gen price.

With approval for a redesigned high-rise in its pock­et, the devel­op­er of what may become Nashville’s tallest build­ing and the tallest tow­er in the U.S. out­side Chica­go and New York City, is mov­ing full-steam ahead.
