There is conclusive evidence that CO2 generated by human behavior is causing climate change, according to researchers.

Earth's climate has changed throughout history for numerous reasons, but modern climate change is driven by human behavior.

By simulating the future atmosphere, scientists hope to understand whether trees will continue to act as the lungs of the ...

Back in 1824, a French physicist named Joseph Fourier made a breakthrough that would fundamentally change our understanding of how Earth's atmosphere works. He discovered the greenhouse effect, which ...

Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is a greenhouse gas. This means that it causes an effect like the glass in a greenhouse, trapping heat and warming up the inside. This effect is important: without the CO 2 that ...

The climate has changed in the past, long before humans, so how do scientists know our recent warming is caused by man?

Contrary to what “plant scientist” Greg Fox claimed in recent letter to the editor, CO2 greenhouse effects at the earth’s surface was first measured directly by Berkely Lab at sites in ...

In early January 2025, amid the wildfires in Los Angeles, multiple posts about the impact of artificial intelligence (AI) on ...

Two greenhouse gases believed to most strongly influence animal population dynamics are carbon dioxide and tropospheric ozone. Scientists have contemplated the long-term effects of increased ...

But when applied to the whole planet, the greenhouse effect is bad news. We call the compounds in the atmosphere that trap Earth’s heat, such as carbon dioxide and methane, greenhouse gases.
