“Climate Lab” — a six-episode video series on climate change from Vox and the University of California — is already getting plenty of attention although it's just getting started.

Scientists from UCLA and other universities developed a system that tests when global warming contributes to record-setting weather events, and to what extent.

California experienced record rainfall this year, and may have even made headway against the state’s historic drought. Now that lush landscapes abound and spring is upon us, what does this mean for allergy sufferers? 

This vernal equinox — the first day of spring — flora and fauna from Palos Verdes to the Yosemite Valley have been rejuvenated by a historically wet, snowy winter.

The UCLA study has important implications in an era of climate change.

To counter likely cuts in federal funding for research into climate change and energy innovation, California’s government must fill the gap.
