Rising temperatures are weakening the ability of wetlands to curb methane emissions, according to new research.

Under the Trump administration, NOAA has minimized an announcement that climate-warming carbon dioxide concentrations in the ...

When bottom trawls are dragged across the seafloor, they stir up sediments. This not only releases previously stored organic carbon, but also intensifies the oxidation of pyrite, a mineral present in ...

Sounds like a bright idea. Scientists have received approval to soon test whether “dimming” the light from the sun will ...

The U.K. government is reportedly preparing to greenlight small-scale outdoor experiments aimed at reflecting solar radiation to cool the Earth.

The resuspension of seafloor sediments—triggered by human activities such as bottom trawling as well as natural processes ...

Researchers in Italy have designed a novel carbon dioxide heat pump that can work with photovoltaic-thermal energy, a finned coil heat exchanger and a U-tube borehole heat exchanger. Their experiment ...

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has signed off on a long-planned experiment that aims to fight climate change by ...

In the soils of Earth's wetlands, microbes are in a tug-of-war to produce and consume the powerful greenhouse gas methane. But if the Earth gets too hot, it could tip the scale in favor of the methane ...

Other efforts to cool the planet are underway, including a trial program to vacuum carbon dioxide out of the air with huge ...

As part of The World's ongoing series The Big Fix, Host Carolyn Beeler speaks with Susanna Lidström, a researcher at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm, Sweden, about the tension ...

The researchers found strong evidence of a chemical called dimethyl sulfide (DMS) in the planet’s atmosphere. On Earth, DMS ...
