The current lifetime of this ozone-eating gas has reduced by approximately a year and a half per decade.

Sixty-six million years ago, Earth was a tropical greenhouse. Today, it's an ice-capped world. And an international team of ...

Scientists at the University of California, Irvine have discovered that climate change is causing nitrous oxide, a potent ...

Scientists trace Earth’s long cooling to falling ocean calcium, pulling CO₂ from the air and offering new insight into a greenhouse mystery.

A 66 million-year-old mystery behind how our planet transformed from a tropical greenhouse to the ice-capped world of today has been unraveled by scientists. Their new study has revealed that Earth's ...
