We know by now that climate change can’t be ignored. Now and then, though, we stumble upon a new reason to embrace climate change mitigation techniques with a renewed sense of urgency. This might be ...

The Arctic is heating up with every passing moment, and scientists have detected feedback loops that may be fueling it, ...

The Arctic is heating faster than any other region on Earth, and scientists now say a newly identified chain reaction in the ...

When most Americans hear the term “climate change,” they probably think about CO2 in the atmosphere and rising temperatures; or maybe weather-related disasters; or melting Arctic sea ice.

Climate tipping points are thresholds within Earth’s climate system beyond which change becomes self-reinforcing and, in some cases, irreversible on human timescales. Rather than unfolding gradually, ...

Risky feedback loops that are accelerating global climate change may not be fully accounted for in current climate models, according to a recent study published in the scientific journal One Earth. A ...

Dangerous climate feedback loops are increasing global warming and risk causing a permanent shift away from the Earth's current climate, according to a new study. Dangerous climate feedback loops are ...

Although government action has been insufficient when it comes to putting the global economy on a path to net-zero carbon, market mechanisms are emerging that promise to drive major progress. We call ...

Vicious cycles are accelerating climate change. One is happening at the north pole, where rising temperatures caused by record levels of fossil fuel combustion are melting more and more sea ice.

Tufts scientists say soil, holding 80 percent of Earth’s carbon, releases increasing amounts of greenhouse gases as droughts trigger desiccation cracks in soils The accuracy of climate models depends ...

Earth may be on the verge of crossing several climate change tipping points that could have irreversible and devastating consequences. Here's everything you need to know about these "points of no ...

A brother and sister were negotiating Christmas presents with their parents. The boy asked for five dollars per day for the 12-day holiday, prompting nods of approval. The girl asked for just 50 cents ...
