Fifty-six million years ago, during the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), global temperatures rose by more than 5°C ...

Plants play a huge role in shaping Earth’s climate. Through photosynthesis, they pull carbon dioxide (CO₂) out of the air.

Most models haven’t accounted for how microplastics may increase global warming by disrupting natural cycles that store carbon.

Globally, soils store more than twice as much carbon as the atmosphere. Therefore, carbon uptake and release by soils ...

Warming in the Arctic is intensifying methane emissions, contributing to a vicious feedback loop that could accelerate ...

With the Arctic warming faster than the global average, researchers at UBC and the University of Edinburgh have made an ...

A life cycle assessment (LCA) conducted by the Global Centre for Maritime Decarbonisation (GCMD) has quantified onboard ...

Discover how nearly two decades of satellite data—and the new Biomass mission—are helping scientists map forest carbon across ...

It’s often assumed that all soil organic carbon ultimately derives from recent vegetation, but researchers argue that carbon inherited from parent rocks can be important and deserves more focus.

A new depolymerization breakthrough now makes it possible to reverse-engineer plastic by chemically unzipping its molecular ...

Despite his administration’s lack of concern about climate change, a recession would give the atmosphere a break. At least in ...

Glaciers worldwide are archives of human pollution, preserving carbon from fossil fuels and wildfires in their ice for ...
