US Researcher Proposes Detonating Massive Nuclear Bomb Under Ocean To Save Earth
Using a nuclear explosion yield of 81 gigatons, scientists can sequester 30 years' worth of carbon dioxide emissions, the study claimed.

Oceans Feel The Heat From Human Climate Pollution
The ocean not only stores heat, it has also taken up 20 to 30 percent of all humans' carbon dioxide emissions since the 1980s.

Scientists Can Tell When A Volcano Is About To Erupt Using This 'Green' Cue
Scientists can tell when a volcano is about to erupt by looking at the vegetation around and its colour.

NASA Satellite Detects Tree Leaf Changes as Early Volcano Eruption Warning Signal
NASA and Smithsonian scientists find that greener trees seen in satellite images may warn of upcoming volcanic eruptions. The change is linked to rising carbon dioxide emissions from magma, which trees absorb and display through greener leaves. This method could enhance early warning systems and improve public safety near active volcanoes.

Atmospheric CO2 Levels Reach 8,00,000 Year-High In 2023: Report
The World Meteorological Organization's (WMO) State of the Climate report said the past 10 years (2015-2024) were the warmest on record, with each of the last eight years setting new highs for ocean heat content.

Global Carbon Emissions Hit Record High In 2024
Our latest annual stocktake shows the world is on track to reach a new record: 37.4 billion tonnes of CO emitted from fossil fuels in 2024. This is an increase of 0.8% from the previous year.

Not Just Carbon Dioxide, Other Greenhouse Gases Are Too Warming The Planet
While carbon dioxide (CO2) is the best-known greenhouse gas, several others, including methane and nitrous oxide, are also driving global warming and altering the Earth's climate.

Volcanoes "Hidden Source" Of Carbon-Dioxide In Past Climate Change: Study
Massive fields of magma underneath ancient volcanoes spewed out carbon dioxide long after eruptions on the surface had ended, potentially explaining why past global warming episodes lasted longer than expected, a study said Wednesday.

Study Shows Over Half Of Earth's Vital Signs At Record Extremes: "Future Of Humanity..."
A 2023 report assessed 35 key indicators, with 25 showing worsening trends, including carbon dioxide levels and population growth.

Forests Emit Carbon Dioxide for Years After Wildfires, Study Finds
A recent study has found that forests destroyed by wildfires continue to emit carbon dioxide (CO₂) for years after the flames die down. The research, conducted in Sweden’s boreal forests, revealed that burnt areas release CO₂ at a rate that more than doubles the amount emitted during the fire itself. These findings are particularly concerning...

The Positive Climate News You May Have Missed This Year
The past year hasn't generally been a cheerful one for those hoping the world will get a grip on climate change. We're now around the middle of the 2020s, a decade when carbon dioxide emissions need to decline by about half.

India's Per Capita Emissions Less Than Half Of Global Average In 2022: Report
India's per capita carbon dioxide emissions rose by around five per cent in 2022 to reach 2 tonnes but these were still less than half of the global average, according to a report released today.
