As more greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere, it becomes harder and harder for heat to seep into space. This causes the global temperature to rise, and could even result in more ...

A recent EPA decision to rescind strict limits on greenhouse gas emissions from transportation, power plants, and other industrial sources of pollution will drastically increase air pollution from ...

What are greenhouse gases, and how do they affect our world? The atmosphere of Earth is a layer of gases retained by Earth’s gravity that surrounds our planet. The majority of the total mass of our ...

In collaboration with France's CNRS laboratories in Paris and Bordeaux, researchers at the University of Geneva have successfully simulated all stages of a runaway greenhouse effect for the first time ...

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 ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — As efforts to minimize the effects of greenhouse gases continue across the United States and the world, we continue to see the effects of those gases on Earth. Our planet continues to ...

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 ...

Carbon is the chemical element found in the greenhouse gas CO₂ emitted from fossil fuels burned in cars, factories and other ...

BEND, Ore. (KTVZ) - Oregon is home to some of the most diverse landscapes in the world. From waves crashing against the rocky coastline to dense forests, towering mountains, active volcanoes, and ...

That carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases trap heat is something scientists have known about for more than a 150 years. The underlying concept behind climate change is simple enough that school ...

The greenhouse effect is a natural process that warms the Earth’s surface. When sunlight reaches our planet, some of it is absorbed by the ground and oceans, while the rest is reflected back toward ...
