A new study finds that if global warming exceeds the Paris Climate Agreement targets, the non-polar glacier mass will diminish significantly. However, if warming is limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius, at ...
Scientists have uncovered a missing feedback in Earth’s carbon cycle that could cause global warming to overshoot into an ice age. As the planet warms, nutrient-rich runoff fuels plankton blooms that ...
March 6 (UPI) --Researchers have detected a "statistically significant" increase in the pace of global warming on Earth for the first time, based on an analysis of data collected over the last decade.
In humanity’s ambitious quest to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius compared to pre-industrial levels, scientists have relied on an estimated temperature rise of 0.2 degrees Celsius per ...
Earth has been steadily warming since the start of the Industrial Revolution, when humans began emitting greenhouse gases at scale. And while the rate of warming has been largely constant for the past ...
Despite rapid progress in clean energy and electric vehicles, the world is still warming faster than ever. The good news is that we already have powerful ways to reduce the warming rate – if ...
Chinese air quality improvements are likely to have contributed to accelerated global surface temperature warming, according to a research paper, with the Asian landmass warming at twice the global ...
Twenty-five years ago this month, Dan Sarewitz and I published a widely read and discussed article in The Atlantic Monthly titled, Breaking the Global Warming Gridlock (unpaywalled version here).
British scientists have revealed a controversial plan to sprinkle salt into the sky in an effort to slow climate change.
