The greenhouse effect refers to the atmospheric process that causes a rise in Earth's temperature due to the presence of greenhouse gases. Certain naturally occurring gases, such as water vapor ...

"It's been such a puzzle that there was liquid water on Mars, because Mars is further from the sun, and also, the sun was ...

Researchers from McGill University have successfully transformed two of the most harmful greenhouse gases into useful ...

A third of the Arctic is now emitting climate-changing greenhouse gasses after thousands of years of storing them, according ...

While greenhouse gases continue to cause temperatures to rise, a reduction in low-cloud cover over land has brought about a modest reduction of the amount of heat being trapped close to ground level.

Carbon dioxide (CO 2) is a greenhouse gas. This means that it causes an effect like the glass in a greenhouse, trapping heat and warming up the inside. This effect is important: without the CO 2 that ...

The warm Earth emits infrared radiation. Some gases absorb this radiation and re-emit it in all directions.

Cattle produce more methane than any other livestock. Methane, a greenhouse gas, traps heat, which warms the Earth. It is far more powerful than its more common counterpart, carbon dioxide.
