The rapid meltdown of polar ice could shut down a key ocean current by 2050, triggering catastrophic surges of sea level rise along the U.S. East Coast and dangerous climate shifts in northwestern ...

We Have Less Than a Decade to Limit Global Warming to 1.5°C The clock is ticking in the race against global warming, and the message from scientists is clear: urgent action is required. 5°C above ...

Using this ancient evidence, scientists have built a record of Earth’s past climates, or “paleoclimates.” The paleoclimate record combined with global models shows past ice ages as well as periods ...

How can we be certain that human-released greenhouse gases are causing the warming? How much more will the Earth warm? How will Earth respond? Answering these questions is perhaps the most significant ...

has revealed how continued global warming will lead to more parts of the planet becoming too hot for the human body over the coming decades. The paper, published in Nature Reviews Earth ...

Not far from our imagination, as the intensifying global warming on Earth continues, exceeding the 2°C warming threshold above pre-industrial levels could render vast portions of the planet ...

Feb. 5, 2025 — Soil incubation experiments revealed a comprehensive increase in CO2 release by drying-rewetting cycles (DWCs) among Japanese forests and pastureland soils, suggesting a ...

Just half a degree rise of global warming will triple the size of the area of Earth that is considered to be too hot for humans. The new area will be equivalent to the size of the U.S., according ...

The Met Office has issued a dire warning: global warming is accelerating beyond control, pushing Earth off-track from meeting the 1.5°C (2.7°F) target set in the Paris Agreement. The latest data shows ...

At the same time, surface permafrost will decline to half of its pre-industrial levels, releasing more carbon into the atmosphere and exacerbating global warming. The loss of Arctic ice is not just a ...
