The cause of global warming is showing no signs of slowing as heat-trapping carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere increased to record highs in its annual spring peak, jumping at one of the fastest ...

Average tree size across the Amazon has increased by 3.2% every decade, consistent with a response to rising carbon dioxide levels, a new study suggests. The research published in Nature Plants by a ...

Far above your head, in the atmosphere between Earth and outer space, an invisible process is occurring. The increasing concentration of carbon dioxide is already manifesting itself in impacts beyond ...

The UK weather service said Friday that carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere in 2024 grew at the fastest annual rate on record, exceeding their own projections by some margin. The Barron's news ...

GENEVA (AP) — Heat-trapping carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere jumped by the highest amount on record last year, soaring to a level not seen in human civilization and “turbo-charging” the Earth’s ...

Plants and the insects that feed on them form the basis of most terrestrial ecosystems, so nutritional shifts caused by rising atmospheric carbon dioxide levels will likely have impacts that extend up ...

The Amazon rainforest, known as the “lungs of the Earth,” absorbs carbon dioxide and releases oxygen. Surprisingly, instead of weakening from climate change, many trees are getting larger. Over recent ...

The level of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere measured by a weather station at the Mauna Loa Observatory in Hawaii increased by 3.58 parts per million in 2024 – the biggest jump since records began ...

GENEVA, Oct 15 (Reuters) - Carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere have reached the highest ever recorded, potentially further warming the planet and leading to more extreme climate events, a new ...

Orange cup corals, pictured growing on rocks above, are native to the Pacific Ocean. As they grow, the corals incorporate minerals from seawater, leaving a valuable historical record in their ...

An ecologically realistic 24-year field study of grasslands showed that elevated levels of carbon dioxide nearly tripled species losses attributed to nitrogen pollution. Dozens of studies have ...

The global ocean “conveyor belt” circulation, shown in part here as red and blue lines, circulates cooler seawater below the surface and warmer seawater at the surface throughout the world’s oceans.
