Rapid warming may tip Atlantic circulation at 2°C, while slower warming may avert collapse
For several years, climate scientists have shown that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) could come to a halt if the world warms too much. New research from Utrecht University shows that this picture is incomplete: The pace of warming also determines whether t
Flesh‑eating bacteria are devouring limbs in warming waters worldwide—here's how to protect yourself
Flesh-eating bacteria sound like the premise of a bad horror movie, but they're a growing—and potentially fatal—threat to people in the U.S.
