Earth emits and reabsorbs hundreds of billions of metric tons of CO2 annually through natural processes, according to the Global Carbon Budget.

The world is heating up – and faster than predicted. According to a new study, humans are releasing so much greenhouse gas that within three years, Earth will likely be unable to avoid 1.5 ...

Earth inhales and exhales carbon, indicating where and when vegetation is growing (sucking up carbon dioxide) or dying off (releasing carbon dioxide).

The world has eliminated half of its remaining carbon budget to keep warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius compared with preindustrial levels in just the last three years, scientists said Thursday.

How do you measure climate change? One way is by recording temperatures in different places over a long period of time. While ...

The central estimate of the remaining carbon budget for 1.5°C is 130 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide (CO2) (from the beginning of 2025). This would be exhausted in a little more than three years ...

The ocean absorbs carbon from the atmosphere, but exactly how much is uncertain. For instance, estimates from the 2023 Global ...

The “One Big Beautiful Bill” just signed by President Trump will slash support for clean energy, leaving the US far short of its Paris Agreement pledge ...

It would take more than 9.5 million square miles of trees to offset the emissions of the world’s 200 largest fossil fuel ...

Carbon dioxide may be a naturally occurring substance on Earth, but too much of its presence has contributed to global warming, climate scientists say.

Summary Operating from 1984-1990, the Earth Radiation Budget Experiment (ERBE) was the first scientific effort to develop a broad-based data set of the Earth's radiation budget. ERBE measured the ...

Some researchers believe last year’s CO2 spike is evidence that the Earth system itself is becoming more vulnerable to the impacts of rising temperatures.
