It’s official: 2020 ranks as the second-hottest year on record for the planet, knocking 2019 down to third hottest, according to an analysis by NOAA…
Much of the earth’s carbon is trapped in the soil, and scientists have assumed that potential climate-warming compounds would safely stay there for centuries. But…
A new study tracing the sources of carbon dioxide, the most significant human-generated greenhouse gas, reveals the unexpectedly large influence of vegetation in urban environments….
Predictions of future climate change require a clear and nuanced understanding of Earth’s past climate. In a study published today (January 22, 2021) in Science…
High tides may even counter the potential threat of submarine methane release from the warming Arctic. It may not be very well known, but the…
Temperature records show past volcanic activity, current climate warming trends. Scientists used a 600-year-old marine sponge to reconstruct a record of ocean temperature in the…
New study unravels long-standing climate mystery and provides insight into how our planet may change in the future. Scientists claim to have found the “missing…
A group of international scientists, including an Australian astrophysicist, has used know-how from gravitational-wave astronomy (used to find black holes in space) to study ancient…
Global warming is affecting daytime and night-time temperatures differently – and greater night-time warming is more common than greater daytime warming worldwide – new research…
Earth’s ability to absorb nearly a third of human-caused carbon emissions through plants could be halved within the next two decades at the current rate…
New research has unlocked the mystery of how the Galápagos Islands, a rocky, volcanic outcrop, with only modest rainfall and vegetation, is able to sustain…
Even with the COVID-19-related small dip in global carbon emissions due to limited travel and other activities, the ocean temperatures continued a trend of breaking…
A new study led by researchers at the Universities of Bristol, Exeter, and Bath helps to shed light on the winter weather we may soon…
New Columbia Engineering study — first to investigate the long-term effect of soil moisture-atmosphere feedbacks in drylands — finds that soil moisture exerts a negative…
The Singapore University of Technology and Design study will be crucial for assessing future climatic changes and making more informed water management decisions. 813 years…
Sea level could rise higher than current estimates by 2100 if climate change is unchallenged, according to a new assessment. Its authors say understanding the…
A researcher from MIPT has proposed a new explanation for the Arctic’s rapid warming. In his recent paper in Geosciences, he suggests that the warming…
