Learn how the carbon cycle works and how greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide and methane disrupt it, shaping climate change ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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, ...

House Bill 19-1261, signed by Gov. Jared Polis in 2019, marked the first time Colorado had codified greenhouse gas targets in ...

Discover how carbon taxes penalize greenhouse gas emissions, encouraging environmentally-friendly practices, and see key examples of global adoption and impact.
