Penguin poop may alter the atmosphere and fight climate change Penguin poop may be playing a key role in keeping climate change in check over Antarctica, new research published May 22 finds.

This imbalance is now substantially more than climate models have suggested. In the mid-2000s, the energy imbalance was about 0.6 watts per square meter (W/m 2) on average.

Greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere reached record highs in 2023, the U.N. warned, with countries falling "miles short" of what is needed to curb devastating global warming.

This suggests that microplastics in the air may affect weather and climate by producing clouds in conditions where they would not form otherwise. We are atmospheric chemists who study how ...

High above the earth, a cutting-edge satellite is passing around Earth 15 times per day. It is hunting for leaks of methane – an invisible, super-polluting gas that is dramatically warming the ...

Dr. Gebrechorkos and his co-authors used multiple precipitation data sets, climate models and ways of calculating drought from 1901 to 2022 to assess how to capture atmospheric thirst and how it ...

The volume of water exploded from 95 cubic feet per second to 166,000 cubic feet per second. And the warming climate is creating the conditions in Texas for more of these sharp, deadly deluges.

Volcanoes erupting underwater have a distinctive effect on the climate that is larger and more widespread than previously thought, according to an international group led by University of Auckland ...
