Polluted air may have been masking the full effects of global warming. Cleaner air could now be revealing more of the ...

Satellite data suggests cloud darkening is responsible for much of the warming since 2001, and the good news is that it is a ...

In short, the global warming induced by increased greenhouse gases changes the major wind systems on Earth. This in turn reduces the area of highly reflective clouds, leading to additional warming.

A study shows that global atmospheric dust -- microscopic airborne particles from desert dust storms -- has a slight overall cooling effect on the planet that has hidden the full amount of warming ...

Most synthetic greenhouse gases have very high global warming potentials. The one with the highest current emissions is the refrigerant HFC-134a, which is 1,300 times more potent than CO₂ (per ...

The speeding up of global warming has been largely driven by cuts to air pollution in China and wider East Asia, scientists ...

There are multiple lines of evidence that show modern global warming is caused by CO2 and other greenhouse gases emitted by human activity, Josh Willis, a NASA climate scientist, previously told ...

Scientists from McGill University have discovered that changes in cloud cover slightly mitigate global warming. While greenhouse gases continue to drive temperature increases, a reduction in low ...

The cyclical nature of the greenhouse effect, which causes global warming. Rachel Ignotofsky, Ten Speed Press Scientists measure global climate of the past by looking at ice cores, fossils ...

Climate change is likely to have an explosive consequence: volcanic eruptions. Antarctic glaciers have been slowly melting as ...

Global warming has picked up pace since around 2010, leading to the recent string of record warm years. Why this is happening ...
