Earth Day began 55 years ago on this date, April 22, 1970, in the United States. The movement was spearheaded by student activist Denis Hayes who was recruited by Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Wilson to ...

A research team led by Professor Kyoungsoo Park from the Department of Physics and Chemistry, Daegu Gyeongbuk Institute of Science & Technology (DGIST; President Kunwoo Lee), has successfully ...

Global warming, a topic that’s simultaneously about science and politics. The media loves to spin a nice, tidy solution: stop burning fossil fuels, cut CO2, and voilà — problem solved! Except, there’s ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Scientists may have solved a mystery of how Earth recycles its carbon, and what it could mean for the future. The general ...

Carbon dioxide is one of the main drivers of climate change. A recent study has found that there is significantly less capacity underground to safely store carbon dioxide than previously believed.

WASHINGTON — When it comes to global warming, carbon dioxide tops the list of gases contributing to it. NASA has identified it as the primary heat-trapping gas in our atmosphere. Now, new technology ...

Mangrove forests play an important role in the global carbon cycle, particularly within the marine carbon system. Growing along tropical and subtropical coastlines, these salt-tolerant trees are among ...

Tropical forests exchange more CO2 with the atmosphere than any other terrestrial biome, meaning that even a relatively small shift in the balance of carbon uptake and release there could have a big ...

A major new study reveals that carbon dioxide emissions from forest fires have surged by 60 percent globally since 2001, and almost tripled in some of the most climate-sensitive northern boreal ...

In a new weekly feature of our Climate Forward newsletter, we’re covering the vast amount of investment, ingenuity and scientific expertise that are going toward stopping climate change. By David ...

Methods to enhance the ocean's uptake of carbon dioxide (CO₂) are being explored to help tackle the climate crisis. However, some of these approaches could significantly exacerbate ocean deoxygenation ...
