Stories about climate change have appeared frequently in JSTOR Daily the past year. We worried about brain-eating birds and whether melting ice sheets would flood the JSTOR offices in New York City.

Here are some of JSTOR Daily’s most thought-provoking stories on climate change--upheld by scholarship and research you can access freely on JSTOR:

Probably. If all Greenland and Antarctic ice sheets melt, the sea level will rise over 200 feet.

Can Cows Mitigate Climate Change? Yes, They Can

Livestock emit greenhouse gases. They also can sequester carbon and boost biodiversity.

Can Re-Clamming Our Harbors Keep Superstorms at Bay?

Hurricanes like Sandy destroy coastlines. Clams and oysters help keep them together.>
