The earliest climate models made specific forecasts about global warming decades before those forecasts could be proved or disproved. And when the observations came in, the models were right. The ...

Think of a greenhouse. It’s a structure with glass walls that lets light in and traps heat, all for the benefit of the plants inside. As for how it works, that’s elementary! It’s all down to the ...

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth’s surface. When sunlight reaches our planet, some of it is absorbed by the ground and oceans, while the rest is reflected back toward ...

Earth is said to be in a perfect "Goldilocks zone" away from the sun (not too cold, and not too hot), which enables life to thrive on the planet's surface. But Earth's balmy temperatures would not be ...

For over a century, scientists have been measuring the effects of greenhouse gases on the temperature of the planet. Earth naturally experiences temperature fluctuations, but data tracing back to the ...

Emissions of the greenhouse gas methane from lakes and reservoirs risk doubling by the end of the century due to climate ...

The fact that water vapor is the dominant absorber in the Earth's greenhouse effect can lead to a flawed narrative that anthropogenic carbon dioxide (CO2) is not important nor a significant driver of ...

With the tropical storm season in the Atlantic Ocean underway and already well into the Greek alphabet for naming, better storm track prediction has allowed timely evacuations and preparations.

Any story of dramatic survival in a desert environment is sure to involve a scene in which the main, parched character gleefully spots water in the distance, only to arrive and find it has disappeared ...

1. Passive greenhouse apparatus is commonly used to investigate the in situ biological response of terrestrial communities to global warming. 2. Although close conformity of greenhouse treatment ...
