The ongoing climate change crisis isn't easy to forget, but NASA is here to make sure the dangerous effects of the issue are seared into our brains thanks to a new animation that shows how carbon ...

The Earth’s average global temperature is 1.2 degrees Celsius hotter (around 2.2 degrees Fahrenheit) than in preindustrial times, causing shifts in weather patterns and more frequent and severe ...

A study shows that global atmospheric dust -- microscopic airborne particles from desert dust storms -- has a slight overall cooling effect on the planet that has hidden the full amount of warming ...

Greenhouses gases aren’t the boogeyman they’re sometimes made out to be. In fact, we desperately need some in Earth’s atmosphere to survive. Without any naturally occurring greenhouse gases, Earth ...

Earth is said to be in a perfect "Goldilocks zone" away from the sun (not too cold, and not too hot), which enables life to thrive on the planet's surface. But Earth's balmy temperatures would not be ...

Researchers watched as a runaway greenhouse effect destroyed the habitability of a simulated planet, providing a stark climate change warning for Earth. When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

The earth’s climate has changed a lot over 4.5 billion years. Before human beings even existed, the earth experienced at least five Ice Ages and warmings due to small changes in its orbit. Since the ...

Think of a greenhouse. It’s a structure with glass walls that lets light in and traps heat, all for the benefit of the plants inside. As for how it works, that’s elementary! It’s all down to the ...

Rising concentrations of methane and carbon dioxide have led to a “negative greenhouse effect” above parts of Antarctica, but this slight cooling effect could reverse as the air becomes more humid ...

Virtually every sector of the global economy, from manufacturing to agriculture to transportation to power production, contributes greenhouse gases to the atmosphere, so all of them must evolve away ...
