Earth's Moving Surface Plays Bigger Role In Climate Change Than We Knew
Our planet has experienced dramatic climate shifts throughout its history, oscillating between freezing "icehouse" periods and warm "greenhouse" states.

Scientists Warn Southern Ocean Could ‘Burp’ Stored Heat, Delaying Global Cooling for 100 Years
New modelling suggests the Southern Ocean could one day release the vast heat it has stored from greenhouse gas pollution. If CO₂ levels were pushed to net-negative, deep convection may trigger a sudden “thermal burp” that warms the planet for decades. Though idealised, the study shows how Antarctica’s surrounding seas could shape long-term...

New Research Suggests Mars Experienced Warm and Cold Periods Affecting Liquid Water
New research from Harvard University suggests that Mars experienced alternating warm and cold periods billions of years ago, affecting its climate and ability to sustain liquid water. These fluctuations, which lasted up to 100,000 years, may have influenced the planet’s potential for life. The study highlights the role of hydrogen in trapping hea...

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.

Scientists Come Up With New Hack To Cool Down Warming Planet - By Reducing Atmospheric Vapour
Water vapour is also classified as a greenhouse gas, which is most abundant in the atmosphere, that amplifies the greenhouse effect.

Bill Gates Invests In Start-Up That Aims To Stop Cow Burps To Tackle Climate Change
Animals like cows, goats and deers produce greenhouse gas, methane, when their stomachs break down hard fibres for digestion.

Tonga Eruption: Excess Water Vapour Blasted Into Atmosphere Could Warm Up the Planet for Years, Study Says
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.

Earth's Atmosphere More Sensitive to CO2 Emissions Than Previously Believed, Study Finds
A new research reassessing the atmosphere’s sensitivity to carbon dioxide (CO2) helps narrow down the range of temperature rise caused by doubling of CO2 levels since pre-industrial times.

The Arctic Is Being Utterly Transformed - And We're Just Starting To Learn The Consequences
It's the fastest-warming part of the planet -- and the impacts will be felt far, far afield. Among many other assorted impacts, the rapidly melting Arctic is expected to flood shorelines as Greenland loses ice more and more rapidly (it contains some 20 feet of potential sea level rise), further pump greenhouse gases into the atmosphere as permafros...

Scientists May Have Just Solved One of The Most Troubling Mysteries About Sea-Level Rise
Scientists have announced a potential solution to a tantalizing puzzle about sea-level rise that's remained unsolved for more than a decade. In doing so, they've helped confirm scientists' latest estimates of 20th-century glacial melting and our understanding of how sea-level rise fundamentally affects the planet - down to the way it spins on its a...
