Regional Climate Shifts

The Arctic is undergoing a profound, rapid and unmitigated shift into a new climate state, one that is greener, features far less ice, and is a net source of greenhouse gas emissions from melting permafrost, according to a major new federal assessment of the region released Tuesday.

Climate change is bringing certain skin diseases and other illnesses to regions where they were rarely seen before, according to a recent research review.

An international team of scientists has identified potential 'tipping points' where abrupt regional climate shifts due to global warming could result in natural disasters.

Billions of people could be living in regions where temperatures are hotter than their historical ranges by mid-century, creating a "new normal" that could force profound changes on nature and society, scientists said on Wednesday.
