For the first time, a team of researchers has simulated what would happen if trapped greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere trigger a snowball effect, causing a dramatic rise in the planet’s ...
What is the importance of studying explosive volcanism on Venus? This is what a study published in the Journal of Geophysical ...
With the tropical storm season in the Atlantic Ocean underway and already well into the Greek alphabet for naming, better storm track prediction has allowed timely evacuations and preparations.
The notion that greenhouse gases are warming the Earth is nothing new, as is the notion that methane — while having 23 times the heat retention capabilities of carbon dioxide — is rarer and breaks ...
Numerical models of the global climate are now in general agreement that a doubling of the atmospheric- CO2 content, which is expected to be reached during the next century, will lead to an increase ...
Critics who dismiss the importance of greenhouse gases as a cause of climate change lost one piece of ammunition this week. In a new study, scientists found further evidence of the role that ...
Over the highest elevations of Antarctica, during many months of the year, air near the surface is colder than in much of the overlying atmosphere. This unique feature of the Antarctic atmosphere has ...
The Venus of today might be best described as "a hellish hot house" with average temperatures of 462 degrees Celsius. But research suggests its climate may have been very different—and far more ...
The year was 1827 when French scientist Jean-Baptiste Fourier indicated the similarity between what happens under the glass of a greenhouse and how heat is absorbed in the atmosphere. This led to the ...
In 1827, French scientist Jean-Baptiste Fourier noticed the similarity between the effect of glass in a greenhouse retaining heat from sunlight in the greenhouse and the similar effect that the ...
