That carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases trap heat is something scientists have known about for more than a 150 years. The underlying concept behind climate change is simple enough that school ...

Chemically, carbon dioxide is incredibly simple – it is just one carbon atom linked with two oxygen atoms. Together they create a colorless gas that makes up just a tiny fraction of the Earth's ...

We all know about the greenhouse effect, but how many of us actually understand it? Turns out, CO2 is not a “blanket,” and saying it “absorbs” heat is barely half the story. In today’s episode we ...

New research has found that the greenhouse effect of carbon dioxide, the gas primarily responsible for making our planet hotter, becomes even more potent as as more of it is emitted. That grim finding ...
