Far above your head, in the atmosphere between Earth and outer space, an invisible process is occurring. The increasing concentration of carbon dioxide is already manifesting itself in impacts beyond ...

The cause of global warming is showing no signs of slowing as heat-trapping carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere increased to record highs in its annual spring peak, jumping at one of the fastest ...

New research reveals the source of this carbon – and the driving forces behind it – are far more complex than previously thought.

The latest forecast from Met Office scientists indicates that the rate of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO₂) increase this year will remain too fast to meet climate targets outlined for limiting global ...

Last year, Venezuela lost its last glacier. Neighboring Colombia also saw a glacier melt out of existence. Around the world, all 58 glaciers monitored by the American Meteorological Society lost mass ...

Rising CO₂ levels will make the upper atmosphere colder and thinner, altering how geomagnetic storms impact satellites. Future storms could cause sharper density spikes despite lower overall density, ...

The main driver of climate change is carbon dioxide. So the fact that it is rising at rates unseen in the instrumental record — and likely much longer than that — is cause for alarm. Yet here we are.

Earth’s atmosphere now has more carbon dioxide in it than it has in millions — and possibly tens of millions — of years, according to data released Thursday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric ...

GENEVA (AP) — Heat-trapping carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere jumped by the highest amount on record last year, soaring to a level not seen in human civilization and “turbo-charging” the Earth’s ...

Katie has a PhD in maths, specializing in the intersection of dynamical systems and number theory. She reports on topics from maths and history to society and animals. Katie has a PhD in maths, ...

The levels of the crucial heat-trapping gases in the atmosphere reached historic highs last year, growing at near-record fast paces, according to the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric ...

Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere vary naturally between ice ages and interglacial periods. A new study by researchers at the University of Gothenburg shows that an unexpectedly large proportion ...
