Earth exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming above preindustrial times, a threshold beyond which wildfires, droughts, floods, and other climate impacts are expected to escalate in frequency, intensity,
A third of the Arctic is now emitting climate-changing greenhouse gasses after thousands of years of storing them, according to a new study from the Falmouth-based Woodwell Climate Research Center.
The levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere above Hawaii made an unprecedent jump in 2024, according to a new analysis by the Met Office, the United Kingdom’s national climate and weather service.
A rule known as the endangerment finding requires the E.P.A. to regulate greenhouse gases. It has proved resilient against earlier attacks.
While floating solar—the emerging practice of putting solar panels on bodies of water—is promising in its efficiency and its potential to spare agricultural and conservation lands, a new experiment finds environmental trade-offs.
Rising CO₂ levels are threatening global health and food security by reducing crop nutrients. Learn how this impacts nutrition and what solutions can help.
Carbon dioxide in the atmosphere is increasing at rates that are incompatible with staying below 1.5 degrees Celsius (34.7 degrees Fahrenheit) of global warming, a Met Office study warns.
As the Earth absorbs more energy from the Sun and reflects less back into space, much of the excess heat is being funnelled into the oceans. This has caused the rise in sea surface temperature to jump from 0.06°C per decade in the 1980s to 0.27°C per decade now.
The climate has changed in the past, long before humans, so how do scientists know our recent warming is caused by man?
Materials such as concrete containing carbonate-based aggregates, bio-based plastics and biochar could sequester more than 16 billion tonnes of CO2 a year
A widely shared Facebook post combines misleading figures and calculations to suggest the UK’s contribution to climate change through carbon dioxide (CO2) and “cow farts” is negligible.
Companies looking to build carbon capture pipelines are utilizing the power of eminent domain when property owners won't willingly negotiate easements. In at least some cases, rather than go through the expense of litigating,
