The frequency of large-scale tornado outbreaks is increasing in the United States, particularly when it comes to the most extreme events, according to new research.
Geoengineering is one of those things that sounds like maybe a good idea on paper but could also go horribly wrong.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration just released its annual "Arctic Report Card," a comprehensive overview of what's happening at our planet's North Pole.
Methane is many times more potent than carbon dioxide, but it's also more difficult to capture.
Six scientists from the National Center for Atmospheric Research found extreme rain storms in America could increase by 400% due to climate change.
Warming could drive the loss of at least 55 trillion kilograms of carbon from the soil by mid-century, or about 17% more than the projected emissions due to human-related activities during that period.
Abnormally high water temperatures caused by you-know-what are being blamed for the worst coral die-off ever recorded along Australia's Great Barrier Reef.
The compelling vision is of a world where agriculture makes smarter use of less resources, providing more food with less carbon.
New study says that unless nations ramp up their carbon-reduction pledges before 2020, it will be nearly impossible to keep warming to 2 degrees.
A new study shows that three of the Amundsen sea’s frozen gateways are melting away faster than we realised, raising the spectre of an ice sheet collapse that could trigger a metre of global sea level rise.
With atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations having reached 400 ppm 2015 and with no signs of them abating in 2016 the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said that "a new era of climate change reality" is upon us.
Levels of the planet's three most dangerous greenhouse gases are rising, and fossil fuels must be taxed to protect children from the turmoil of rising seas and extreme storms, a US climate scientist warns.
Carbon dioxide just hit its annual minimum and failed to dip below 400 ppm.
High above Earth's tropics, a pattern of winds changed recently in a way that scientists had never seen in more than 60 years of consistent measurements.
Another day, another dire warning about the global climate emergency. NASA's top climate scientist announced Tuesday that the Earth is warming at a pace not seen in at least the past 1,000 years.
