Deforestation in tropical rainforests adds more carbon dioxide to the Earth’s atmosphere than the sum total of cars and trucks on the world’s roads. Cars…
Global sea levels have risen about seven inches (18 centimeters) in the past hundred years, and that pace is steadily accelerating thanks to climate change….
Scottish scientists have proposed to use a giant space-based dust cloud, blasted off an asteroid, to shade the Earth from the sun. Deliberately manipulating the…
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…
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…
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…
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 2010 study using measurements taken by the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) satellite reported that glaciers in the Himalayas and the Tibetan plateau…
Following a season of unstable conditions this summer, the Arctic ice cap will have a record-breaking melt. This has been reported by the National Snow…
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…
As research on greenhouse gases and global warming continues, this brief video from NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center explains how instruments like CERES and MODIS…
A new study found that dissolution or creation of huge gypsum deposits changed the sulfate content of the oceans, which resulted in drastic changes in…
Using data from three independent satellites to analyze the extent of surface melt over Greenland’s ice sheet, NASA and university scientists found that ice melting…
Confirmed by data taken by MODIS, the Moderate Resolution Imaging Spectroradiometer aboard NASA’s Terra and Aqua satellites, a 120 square km ice island has broken…
