As Much as One-Third of Greenhouses Gases Come From Agriculture
One-third of all human-caused greenhouse gas emissions stem from the global food system, which encompasses the manufacturing of fertilizer, to food storage and packaging. These…

Methane gas is escaping from the seabed sediments somewhere off the coast of North Carolina. Researchers think that a shifting Gulf Stream, the Atlantic Ocean…
A newly published study examines the role of climate change in extinction, finding that very few populations have gone extinct simple because it got too…
As carbon dioxide levels continue to climb in the Earth’s atmosphere, most current climate models project that the world’s oceans and trees will keep soaking…
While it may seem that melting arctic snow isn’t as dramatic as the record ice melt that’s occurred this year, the loss of arctic snow…
A new report commissioned by 20 different governments states that more than 100 million people will die by 2030 if nothing is done to tackle…
This year, the Arctic sea experienced a record ice melt during the summer and this might mean that northern Europe will experience a frigid winter….
A new study from scientists at MIT uses model simulations and observations to estimate how global warming will affect extreme precipitation, finding that with every…
Stable isotope analysis of ancient Eskimo hair found in Western Alaska could reveal how people in the region lived through times of climate change and…
It would seem logical that periods of global warming in Earth’s history started the extinction pulses that defined the geological record. However, that’s not the…
Using a new soil–water–atmosphere–plant model supported by comprehensive observational evidence, a new study published in the journal Nature Geoscience examines the role plants play in…
A team of scientists has developed a computer model that can identify the best molecular candidates for removing greenhouse gases from power plants, providing accurate…
Scientists believe diseased trees may be a significant source of methane that causes climate change, finding concentrations of methane that were as high as 80,000…
While satellites have confirmed that Greenland has lost a significant part of its ice sheet, a recent study in Science indicates that the ice sheet…
There has been a definite, palpable impact on the Earth’s climate by global warming. The unusually high frequency of heatwaves indicates that there has to…
A new study from scientists at MIT examined how temperature increases affect economic growth in developing nations, finding that for every 1-degree-Celsius increase, over the…
Data from a newly published study provides visual evidence that atmospheric particles separate into distinct chemical compositions during their life cycle and may play a…
Published in the journal Science, a new study from Harvard researchers suggests that a newly discovered connection between climate change and depletion of the ozone…
