The total emissions of greenhouse gases and airborne particles caused by wildfires are almost 70% higher than previously ...

Scientists say global warming can accelerate the spread of microplastics, which threaten the health of people, plants and ...

Using advanced computer simulations, scientists have shown how easily a runaway greenhouse effect can rapidly transform a habitable planet into a hellish world inhospitable to life. The team of ...

As more greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere, it becomes harder and harder for heat to seep into space. This causes the global temperature to rise, and could even result in more ...

The cause of global warming shows no sign of slowing down: Levels of the three most significant human-caused greenhouse gases – carbon dioxide (CO2), methane and nitrous oxide – continued their steady ...

When Meredith Holgerson arrived at Cornell in 2020, she began searching for the perfect ponds. Poring over maps, taking tips, she'd traipse into the woods of central New York with an inflatable kayak ...

When sunlight reaches Earth, the surface of the planet absorbs some of this light’s energy and bounces it back as infrared waves which we feel as heat. If they aren’t impeded these waves make their ...

German car manufacturer BMW aims to further reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its production and cars by tens of millions ...

Fertilizers are the largest source of emissions from the agriculture industry. The key to helping curb greenhouse gas emissions from the agriculture industry may be hidden just beneath the surface.

Carbon dioxide emissions in the U.S. fell by about 880 million metric tons in 2019 compared with 2005. That was more than any other country, but as a percentage change, the U.S. ranks fifth worldwide.

GENEVA — The three main greenhouse gases hit record high levels in the atmosphere last year, the U.N. weather agency said Wednesday, calling it an "ominous" sign as war in Ukraine, rising costs of ...
