Though cotton yields initially doubled when GM cotton began being planted a decade ago, in the past six years yields have failed to increase even though planting has markedly increased.

Analysis bridges differences between various climate change models to predict North American climate change with high certainty. Will skeptics finally be convinced?

For one nurse shark at an aquatic center in the UK, the taste of meat seems to have lost its luster.

The latest of Yale University’s surveys on American attitudes towards climate change also shows that two-thirds of people now believe the planet is warming, but fewer attribute it to human activity.
