“It’s sad.” Carbon dioxide, like other greenhouse gases, traps heat from the sun and can remain in the atmosphere for centuries. As such, high concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere ...

At any given time, about two-thirds of Earth's surface is covered by clouds. Overall, they make the planet much cooler than ...

The gist of the greenhouse effect is that some of that light, instead of escaping straight to space, hits CO 2 molecules in the atmosphere. A molecule absorbs the light, then reemits it. Then ...

Greenhouse gases like C02, trapped in the lower atmosphere, pull heat down from the upper atmosphere. The cooling effect on ...

Extreme heat is only becoming more common. In the United States, heat waves now occur three times as often as they did in the ...

Much of the country is facing brutal, potentially deadly heat. The reasons for such extreme events are not complicated.

A team of 60 international scientists report that by early 2028 society will have emitted enough greenhouse gases that the ...
