A new study is the first to link rising temperatures with booming rat populations in cities around the world. Rising seas, intensifying droughts, worsening floods — these are well-known effects of climate change, the consequences of pumping too much heat-trapping pollution into the air.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Human-caused climate change increased the likelihood and intensity of the hot, dry and windy conditions that fanned the flames of the recent devastating Southern California wildfires, a scientific study found.

With so much federal backtracking already underway, all eyes now turn toward states like ours to lead the effort against climate change.

As insect populations decrease worldwide in what some have called an "insect apocalypse," biologists are desperate to determine how the six-legged creatures are responding to a warming world and to predict the long-term winners and losers.

Some biologists speculate that animals will get smaller with global warming to reduce heat stress. While this may be true of warm-blooded animals, what about exotherms like insects? Thanks to a 65-year-old grasshopper collection,
