Rising temperatures are fueled, in part, by declining cloud cover — which could be a potential climate feedback loop.

Heat Absorption Oceans play a crucial role in absorbing excess heat generated by greenhouse gas emissions. In fact, they take in over 90% of this heat, acting as a massive buffer against global ...

The onset of some level of climate upheaval or widespread destruction of biomes and human lives, mild or severe, has ...

Earth system models (ESMs) help us understand climate and environmental changes. With advances in computing power, ESMs can now be run at kilometer-scale (k-scale) resolutions, capturing very fine ...

A leading climate scientist believes Earth may be even more sensitive to greenhouse gases than previously thought, but there ...

Unprecedented ocean warming breaks records. Scientists warn of accelerating climate change and the consequences for our ...

Op-ed views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author. Carbon dioxide (CO₂) has been predominantly portrayed as the chief culprit driving global warming. For decades, […] ...

Earth system models are essential tools for studying complex planetary processes, including interactions between the atmosphere and biosphere.

Planting fast-growing crops, burning them, capturing the released CO2 and storing it: this is being discussed as a way to remove greenhouse gases from the atmosphere and limit global heating to 1.5 ...

What would happen if a 500-meter asteroid hit Earth? Scientists at the IBS Center for Climate Physics modeled the aftermath, ...

ROCKVILLE, MD – Phytoplankton, tiny plant-like organisms in the ocean, are incredibly important for life on Earth. They're a ...
