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

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, ...

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, ...

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.

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 ...

When sea ice melts, it can lead to faster warming because water absorbs more heat than ice does. That’s one of more than 25 climate feedback loops found in a recent study from Oregon State University.

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 ...
