According to the 35th annual State of the Climate report, greenhouse gas concentrations, the global temperature across land and oceans, global sea level, and ocean heat content all reached record ...

Large swaths of the Earth’s oceans are being hammered by multiple climate impacts at once, scientists say — a trend that could spell long-term trouble for marine ecosystems and fisheries.

Our atmosphere is made up of a mix of gases that sustain life by absorbing some solar radiation to heat the planet, allow livings things to breathe, and by transporting water. Nitrogen (78%) and ...

The greenhouse effect is a process in which sunlight is trapped by gases in the atmosphere, most notably carbon dioxide. Those gases in turn re-radiate that heat back through the Earth's atmosphere.

Melissa’s sustained winds reached 185 mph at landfall in Jamaica. Only a handful of Atlantic hurricanes have reached such ...

What are greenhouse gases, and how do they affect our world? The atmosphere of Earth is a layer of gases retained by Earth’s gravity that surrounds our planet. The majority of the total mass of our ...

Runaway greenhouse effect can transform a temperate habitable planet with surface liquid water ocean into a hot steam dominated planet hostile to any life. The Earth is a wonderful blue and green dot ...

When polar ice sheets melt, the effects ripple across the world. The melting ice raises average global sea level, alters ...

A Jan. 4 Facebook post (direct link, archive link) claims global temperatures have remained consistent over the past hundred years. “Not much has happened, except that world temperatures have been at ...
