Researchers at Kyushu University have found that rising CO2 levels in our atmosphere could lead to future disruptions in shortwave radio communications, including systems used for air traffic control,

In a new paper, climate scientists from Germany predict that when we humans eventually stop releasing greenhouse gases into the air, and the world ultimately cools down, the Southern Ocean shall let out a tremendous and abrupt 'burp' of heat that will bring on global warming yet again, for at least a century.

Low clouds matter most for albedo and sunlight reflection. They bounce a lot of sunlight back to space. Last year, low cloud cover decreased.

Scientists are warning that the North Pacific ‘Blob’ is back, and this ocean heat wave could have consequences around the globe.

Younger generations of Americans are increasingly citing climate change as making them reticent to have children.

As global warming continues to reshape Earth's climate, both the occurrence and mechanisms of extreme precipitation events, such as rain and snow, are undergoing profound transformation. These changes in frequency and intensity directly affect agricultural security,

The Southern Ocean can release stored heat during cooling, creating short-term warming. This discovery shows climate recovery won’t be quick.

When the balance in reflectivity shifts, “the whole circulation of the climate will shift in order to transport energy from the hemisphere that has a surplus to the one that has a deficit,” Soden says. This could influence ocean currents and the location of rainfall bands, which can have ramifications for water availability.

Greenhouse gas concentrations increased by a record amount in 2024 as more carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide became locked in Earth's atmosphere, a World Meteorological Organization report finds.

Roger Pielke Jr. and oil industry supporters are attacking climate scientist Friederike Otto, whose work has been used in lawsuits against polluters.

In 2018, scientists outlined the massive benefits to the world of keeping the rise under 1.5C as compared to allowing them to rise to 2C. Passing 1.5C include more frequent and intense heatwaves and storms, increased damage to coral reefs and growing threats to human health and livelihoods, UN scientists have said.

The United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres warned on Wednesday that global warming is pushing the planet to the brink and urged countries to implement disaster warning systems to protect people against extreme weather.
