A third of the Arctic is now emitting climate-changing greenhouse gasses after thousands of years of storing them, according to a new study from the Falmouth-based Woodwell Climate Research Center.

Earth exceeded 1.5 degrees Celsius of warming above preindustrial times, a threshold beyond which wildfires, droughts, floods, and other climate impacts are expected to escalate in frequency, intensity,

A rule known as the endangerment finding requires the E.P.A. to regulate greenhouse gases. It has proved resilient against earlier attacks.

The climate has changed in the past, long before humans, so how do scientists know our recent warming is caused by man?

The levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere above Hawaii made an unprecedent jump in 2024, according to a new analysis by the Met Office, the United Kingdom’s national climate and weather service.

Rising CO₂ levels are threatening global health and food security by reducing crop nutrients. Learn how this impacts nutrition and what solutions can help.

Materials such as concrete containing carbonate-based aggregates, bio-based plastics and biochar could sequester more than 16 billion tonnes of CO2 a year

Springfield lawmakers will hash out a plan to move solar and wind projects forward after sluggish growth for clean power in Illinois and a recent rise in coal and natural gas demand.

With carbon capture pipelines proliferating, U.S. regulators propose stricter rules to prevent a leak like on in Satartia, Mississippi, in 2020

A widely shared Facebook post combines misleading figures and calculations to suggest the UK’s contribution to climate change through carbon dioxide (CO2) and “cow farts” is negligible.

As the Earth absorbs more energy from the Sun and reflects less back into space, much of the excess heat is being funnelled into the oceans. This has caused the rise in sea surface temperature to jump from 0.06°C per decade in the 1980s to 0.27°C per decade now.

Carbon credits are generated by activities that avoid or reduce emissions of carbon dioxide -- a potent greenhouse gas. They can be purchased by companies seeking to "offset" or cancel out some of their own emissions, either to comply with regulations or ...
