Earth has been steadily warming since the start of the Industrial Revolution, when humans began emitting greenhouse gases at scale. And while the rate of warming has been largely constant for the past ...

HAMBURG — For some time now, climate scientists have been discussing a troubling hypothesis: Is global warming accelerating? The German Physics Society and the German Meteorological Society are now ...

Scientists have long warned that the planet is warming. Now, new research suggests it may be warming faster than previously understood. A study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters ...

At any given time, about two-thirds of Earth’s surface is covered by clouds. Overall, they make the planet much cooler than it would be without them. But as Earth gets warmer, mostly due to the rise ...

Temperatures over the past three years have been even higher than expected, provoking a debate among scientists. Almost everyone agrees that global warming has accelerated. But some researchers say it ...

Extreme climate impacts on people and the environment are often associated with very high levels of global warming (3 or 4°C). A new study led by the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) ...

Global warming has picked up pace since around 2010, leading to the recent string of record warm years. Why this is happening is still unclear, and among the biggest questions in climate science today ...

Planetary warming has significantly accelerated over the past 10 years, with temperatures rising at a higher rate since 2015 than in any previous decade on record, a new study showed. The Earth warmed ...

Efforts to clean up air pollution in China and across East Asia may have inadvertently contributed to a spike in global warming, a new study has found. The decline in aerosol emissions — which can ...

Dangerous weather events typically associated with extreme global warming could become more frequent even under moderate levels of heating, a new study finds. Deadly floods in cities and catastrophic ...

Claims that the oceans are now driving a new phase of global cooling have surged across social media, but they collide with a large and consistent body of scientific evidence. Ocean measurements from ...
