Greenhouse Gases

It is near-certain that 2023-2027 will be the warmest five-year period ever recorded, the United Nations warned Wednesday as greenhouse gases and El Nino combine to send temperatures soaring.

Record levels of heat-trapping greenhouse gases have led to increased incidences of droughts, floods and heatwaves on a global scale, the World Meteorological Organisation's (WMO) annual report for 2022 said.

In a first, researchers at Cambridge University have developed a system that can potentially resolve two of the biggest environmental challenges faced by the Earth - greenhouse gases and plastic waste - at the same time.

People globally waste 1 billion metric tonnes of food each year. A staggering one-third of all food produced globally is lost or wasted.

Reducing the number of emails that are sent and deleting them is claimed to reduce an individual's carbon footprint, an idea that has also been propagated in various news stories. However, quantifying the carbon footprint of sending emails, or any other digital service, is not an easy task. Here's everything you need to know about whether sending f...

The investments of 125 of the world's richest billionaires yield an annual average of three million tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions a year, more than a million times the average for someone in the bottom 90 per cent of humanity, according to a new

One of the largest environmental issues in New Zealand is the greenhouse gases that its 6.2 million cows naturally release.

The Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai underwater volcano that erupted in the South Pacific in January injected 1,60,900 tonnes of additional water vapour into the stratosphere, according to researchers. The excess water vapour could heat up the planet for several years, a new study reveals.

The US Supreme Court ruled Thursday that the government's key environmental agency cannot issue broad limits on greenhouse gases, sharply curtailing the power of President Joe Biden's administration to battle climate change.

Scientists have identified that the systemic warming in a pool of water present in the northeast Pacific Ocean is due to human activities and not from natural climatic variations. The pool of water has witnessed a surface water temperature increase of up to 3 degrees Celsius since 1996. The three million square kilometres body has been seeing a ris...

Reports of bomb-like blizzards and scorching droughts provide a dreadful image of climate change's potential reality. In recent decades, modern data demonstrate an unnatural global warming trend that has taken control of the Earth's climate. Humans release heat-trapping carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases into the atmosphere, raising global t...

China and the United States, the world's two largest emitters of greenhouse gases, will make a joint statement later on Wednesday at the COP26 climate summit, a spokesperson for the Chinese delegation said.

The European Space Agency (ESA) has announced a new mission where human-made emissions of greenhouse gases will be tracked from space. ESA, in collaboration with the European Union's (EU) Earth-monitoring programme Copernicus, announced this mission during the UN Climate Change Conference COP26 in Glasgow on November 2.

The abundance of heat-trapping greenhouse gases in the atmosphere once again reached a new record last year, with the annual rate of increase above the 2011-2020 average.

Greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere reached new record levels last year, the United Nations said Monday in a stark warning to the COP26 summit about worsening global warming.
