Solar radiation enters the Earth's atmosphere without any hindrance and should normally leave it as heat. Unfortunately, this is impeded by the thickening "greenhouse roof" consisting of carbon ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) How does the greenhouse effect work? Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, prevent infrared radiation from escaping to outer space. This warms the surface of ...

Researchers recently completed the first full simulation of a runaway greenhouse effect. When a planet like Earth heats up, the atmosphere collects more and more water vapor until the planet can no ...

Very high atmospheric CO 2 levels can explain the high temperatures on the still young Earth three to four billion years ago. At the time, our Sun shone with only 70 to 80 percent of its present ...

Research over nearly a decade has tracked an unusual case of methane and carbon dioxide levels that seems to be actually cooling portions of Antarctica. Dubbed a negative greenhouse effect, this ...

A UCLA study shows that the amount of atmospheric desert dust has increased globally by roughly 55% since the mid-1800s. The change has likely had a slight overall cooling effect that has masked up to ...
