It’s only been a few weeks since President Trump became the 47th POTUS and already he is getting to work implementing his ...

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 ...

With the publication of a scientific report following research in the lakes of Iceland, researchers involved —including one from UW-Stout — are publishing part of the results. With work recently ...

"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 fainter early on." ...

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

Imagine if we could find a way to capture the greenhouse gases that are warming our planet. One way to do this is carbon ...

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 ...

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.

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