The Earth’s average global temperature is 1.2 degrees Celsius hotter (around 2.2 degrees Fahrenheit) than in preindustrial times, causing shifts in weather patterns and more frequent and severe ...

Scientists have found a way to turn carbon dioxide and methane, the two most notorious greenhouse gases, into useful ...

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 ...

Think of a greenhouse. It’s a structure with glass walls that lets light in and traps heat, all for the benefit of the plants inside. As for how it works, that’s elementary! It’s all down to the ...

Catalytic dry reforming of methane (DRM) offers a promising strategy for the sustainable utilization of greenhouse gases, CH4 ...

So much focus and debate on global warming keeps greenhouse gases as a hot topic recently. Initially it may seem that because of this the greenhouse effect has a negative impact on our planet. However ...

The greenhouse effect is the process in which the emission of infrared radiation by the atmosphere warms a planet's surface. The name comes from an analogy with the warming of air inside a greenhouse ...

The Trump administration is preparing to upend a foundational scientific determination about the harms of greenhouse gases ...

Sometime in the last few billion years, disaster struck one of Earth’s nearest neighbours. Planetary geologists think there is good evidence that Venus was the victim of a runaway greenhouse effect ...

The climate-changing greenhouse effect exists and has been directly measured in the United States, a new study reports. The results confirm what scientists had already proved through models and ...
