Scientists: By 2500 Earth Could Be Alien to Humans
Climate projections should not stop at year 2100. To fully grasp and plan for climate impacts under any scenario, researchers and policymakers must look well…

Although sun radiation was relatively low, the temperature on the young Earth was warm. An international team of geoscientists has found important clues that high…
On a farm where cows freely relieve themselves as they graze, the accumulation and spread of waste often contaminates local soil and waterways. This can…
Using precision instruments and new mapping and machine-learning tools, a research team has been pinpointing sources of the greenhouse gas. In October 2016, an aircraft…
Today, human sources are responsible for 60% of global methane emissions, coming primarily from the burning of fossil fuels, decomposition in landfills, and the agriculture…
Extensive chains of volcanoes have been responsible for both emitting and then removing atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2), stabilizing temperatures at Earth’s surface. An international research…
Between 35.6% and 95% of 20th century ocean surface climates — defined by surface water temperature, pH, and the concentration of the mineral aragonite —…
Highest resolution global warming simulation conducted to date reveals possible end of El Niño/ La Niña temperature cycle. The cycling between warm El Niño and…
A global inventory has revealed that CO2 emissions from oil refineries were 1.3 Gigatonnes (Gt) in 2018 and could be as large as 16.5 Gt…
“Blue” hydrogen – an energy source that involves a process for making hydrogen by using methane in natural gas – is being lauded by many…
Researchers have shown that human-caused climate change will have important consequences for how volcanic gases interact with the atmosphere. The researchers, from the University of…
New research published by the open access publisher Frontiers inventories greenhouse gas emissions of 167 globally distributed cities. The study shows that just 25 mega-cities…
Scientists at the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) have upgraded their laser frequency-comb instrument to simultaneously measure three airborne greenhouse gases — nitrous…
After the optical frequency comb made its debut as a ruler for light, spinoffs followed, including the astrocomb to measure starlight and a radar-like comb…
New research shows climate change is increasing ozone depletion over the Arctic. There is a high-takes race going on high in the atmosphere above the…
2021 Global Change Outlook from the MIT Joint Program on the Science and Policy of Global Change shows how more aggressive policies can sharply reduce…
New study shows that geological storage of low-purity carbon dioxide mixed with oxygen and nitrogen from direct air capture is an environmentally friendly and economically…
The Commonwealth of Massachusetts recently passed a climate bill that sets a target of net-zero emissions for the state by the year 2050. The bill…
