The greenhouse effect refers to the atmospheric process that causes a rise in Earth's temperature due to the presence of greenhouse gases. Certain naturally occurring gases, such as water vapor ...

"It's been such a puzzle that there was liquid water on Mars, because Mars is further from the sun, and also, the sun was ...

Earth just set a heat record. It won't be its last. Earth just set a heat record. It won't be its last. Can we put carbon back where we found it? It just might work. Can we put carbon back where ...

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 ...

Using traditional crossbreeding, researchers have created a new strain of rice that produces much less methane, a potent ...

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.

Op-ed views and opinions expressed are solely those of the author. Carbon dioxide (CO₂) has been predominantly portrayed as the chief culprit driving global warming. For decades, […] ...

A new study finds that the rate of ocean warming has more than quadrupled over the past 40 years—and pinpoints why.

The temperature of the Earth depends on many factors including the concentration of greenhouse gases such as water vapour, methane and carbon dioxide. The Earth also radiates lower frequency ...

Earth’s prolonged streak of abnormal heat continued into 2025 despite the arrival of La Niña ocean conditions, which ...
