The finding underpins government efforts to fight climate change.

The continued release of greenhouse gases into Earth's atmosphere could increase the longevity of space junk in low Earth orbit, a new paper reveals. Under a high-emissions scenario, this could mean a ...

Think of a greenhouse. It’s a structure with glass walls that lets light in and traps heat, all for the benefit of the plants inside. As for how it works, that’s elementary! It’s all down to the ...

For the first time, a team of researchers has simulated what would happen if trapped greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere trigger a snowball effect, causing a dramatic rise in the planet’s ...

Rising concentrations of methane and carbon dioxide have led to a “negative greenhouse effect” above parts of Antarctica, but this slight cooling effect could reverse as the air becomes more humid ...

In a new environmental report, Fairfax County’s Environmental Quality Advisory Council warned the county needs to reduce transportation emissions and data center electrical consumption to achieve a ...

Research over nearly a decade has tracked an unusual case of methane and carbon dioxide levels that seems to be actually cooling portions of Antarctica. Dubbed a negative greenhouse effect, this ...

Winter weather can be tough on vehicles, especially with the cold temperatures, snow, and road treatments that pile up throughout the season. Book raising event raises money to help parents of ...

In 1896, the Swedish physicist Svante Arrhenius realized that carbon dioxide (CO 2) traps heat in Earth’s atmosphere — the phenomenon now called the greenhouse effect. Since then, increasingly ...
