A new international study published this week in Nature Climate Change shows that damage from wind, bark beetles, and wildfires has increased drastically in Europe's forests in recent years.

Driven by Climate Change, Algae Blooms Behind Ohio Water Scare New Normal

National Geographic: The toxic algae bloom in Lake Erie that provoked last weekend's tap water ban in Toledo, Ohio-where nearly half a million people were told not to use water for drinking, cooking, or bathing-is a preview of similar problems to come around the world, scientists say, thanks in part to climate change.
