Climate change is causing profound changes in Arctic, with the region warming faster than the rest of the planet and experiencing a concerning loss of sea ice. Scientists at Stanford University have now observed a dramatic increase in the concentration… Continue reading “Thickening algae soup” is causing the Arctic Ocean to suck in more CO2
With traditional carbon sinks like the Amazon rainforest facing an uncertain future, scientists are looking to get creative with their efforts to slow the buildup of CO2 in the atmosphere. A new study out of the University of Sheffield makes a case for… Continue reading Scattering rock dust on crops could soak up billions of tons of CO2
What would Earth’s climate naturally be doing if it weren’t for human intervention? Researchers at Northern Arizona University have now analyzed over 12,000 years of climate data, and found that human-induced warming interrupted and reversed a long-ter… Continue reading Human-induced climate change reversed 6,500-year global cooling trend

While the general picture of global warming shows a regular rise in overall temperatures, some parts of the Earth are heating faster than others, with the Arctic a prime example. Scientists have now uncovered a similar accelerated trend taking place at… Continue reading South Pole is warming three times faster than the rest of the globe
With sea ice coverage that continues to sink to record lows and temperatures that continue to hit record highs, the Arctic is one part of the world that is already feeling the brunt of global warming. New observations from a weather station in Siberia … Continue reading Arctic Circle records 100 degree temperature amid Siberian heatwave
One of the proposed ways to counter the effects of global warming is by using atmospheric aerosols to reflect heat away from the Earth, and a great deal of research is going into not just how this might work, but whether or not it is a good idea. A new… Continue reading MIT study explores how solar geoengineering would alter the climate
The lockdown orders implemented around the globe to control the spread of the novel coronavirus have led to a dramatic dip in some airborne pollutants, and a new study has revealed that carbon dioxide emissions have followed a similar trend. The analys… Continue reading Coronavirus lockdowns prompt “extreme” dip in global carbon emissions
Scientists studying weather and atmospheric physics have uncovered evidence that climate change is making hurricanes more fierce, and as time goes by, a fuller picture is emerging of this global trend. A new study looking at nearly four decades of data… Continue reading Four decades of data shows hurricane winds are growing stronger
The wheels we humans have set in motion concerning carbon dioxide emissions and climate change are going to take some stopping, and the latest data from Hawaii’s Mauna Loa Observatory are another clear indicator of this. Scientists there have logged re… Continue reading Atmospheric CO2 soars to record heights in spite of global pandemic
