As more greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere, it becomes harder and harder for heat to seep into space. This causes the global temperature to rise, and could even result in more ...

Using advanced computer simulations, scientists have shown how easily a runaway greenhouse effect can rapidly transform a habitable planet into a hellish world inhospitable to life. The team of ...

For the first time, a team of researchers has simulated what would happen if trapped greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere trigger a snowball effect, causing a dramatic rise in the planet’s ...

Think of a greenhouse. It’s a structure with glass walls that lets light in and traps heat, all for the benefit of the plants inside. As for how it works, that’s elementary! It’s all down to the ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — As efforts to minimize the effects of greenhouse gases continue across the United States and the world, we continue to see the effects of those gases on Earth. Our planet continues to ...

A study shows that global atmospheric dust -- microscopic airborne particles from desert dust storms -- has a slight overall cooling effect on the planet that has hidden the full amount of warming ...

Earth is like a greenhouse and the atmosphere acts as a shell, says an assistant professor at UPEI’s faculty of sustainable design engineering. In a phone interview with The Guardian on Feb. 19, ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. Ian writes on fossil energies, climate, and transition to renewables. One: “I’m a physical scientist who sees modern energy as ...

Study finds increasing levels of dust likely had cooling effect that slowed global warming, which could speed up if dust stops increasing A new study shows that global atmospheric dust — microscopic ...

There is possibility that the world will double the amount of natural has energy is used over the next 15 years to power AI data centers. 704 GW of natural gas and an increase of 6170 TWh/year. In ...
