The increase in the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere last year was the biggest ever recorded, the United Nations said Wednesday, calling for urgent action to slash emissions. Levels of the ...

John Locher/AP / AP The amount of planet-warming carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere has hit a new record, as humanity struggles to rein in emissions of greenhouse gasses from burning fossil ...

Mark Herz: This is GBH’s Morning Edition. The amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is increasing faster than ever. One global monitor showed that peak to peak from 2022 to 2024, we saw the ...

Scientists may have to rethink the relationship between the ocean's circulation and its long-term capacity to store carbon, new research suggests. As the ocean gets weaker, it could release more ...

For more than half a century, from a remote monitoring station atop Hawaii’s dormant volcano Mauna Kea, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has continuously logged levels of ...

Even as temperatures rise on Earth's surface and in the lower atmosphere, the planet's upper atmosphere has cooled dramatically. This paradoxical pattern is a well-known sign of humanity's climate ...

With too much carbon dioxide in the air warming the planet, and emissions of heat-trapping gases still growing, many climate scientists say finding ways to remove CO 2 from the atmosphere is crucial.

Mars is blanketed by a thin, mostly carbon dioxide atmosphere — one that is far too thin to keep water from freezing or quickly evaporating. However, geological evidence has led scientists to conclude ...
