EDF Voices: Science

Scientists at Stanford University have linked California's crippling drought to climate change. Here's how they know.

Contrary to Nadine Unger’s claims, the "high risk" is to ignore the 200 billion tons of at-risk carbon stocks in the world’s tropical forests.

Some say climate change hit a plateau and that urgent action won't be needed, after all - but there's more to the story.

Melting permafrost speeds up warming in the short-term while committing our planet to warmer temperatures for centuries to come.

This new tool developed with Google Earth Outreach has the power to greatly improve cities’ and utilities’ ability to minimize methane emissions that contribute to global warming.

An Asian typhoon, a strange-acting jet stream and a high-pressure system over Canada add up to a sudden cold snap in July, but whether global warming plays a role is hard to say.

A recent New York Times column asks if we should prioritize carbon dioxide over methane, but science shows both must be addressed - now.

This is a time to feel optimistic, EDF President Fred Krupp tells the Aspen Ideas Festival.

New research shows that rising global temperatures may be moving hurricanes toward the poles, and closer to major East Coast cities such as Washington and New York.

Just like a patient who has been told to stop smoking for years, there has been plenty of warning that our “unfiltered” smokestacks spewing carbon pollution are causing serious damage to our environment and health.
