Warming changes wind patterns, which changes cloud patterns, which results in more warming. This is what we call "positive feedback" in the climate system: warming leads to more warming.
The human fingerprint on global warming was likely evident in Earth’s atmosphere far earlier than previously thought—even before the invention of modern cars, a new study says.
Below NOAA plots the Sun’s energy cycles in yellow and the Global temperature record in red. What really stands out is the divergence between the two lines from the 1970s through today.
A new University of Washington-led study projects that in the next 35 years these increasing boreal fires will actually slow warming by 12% globally and 38% in the Arctic.
A new study finds that if global warming exceeds the Paris Climate Agreement targets, the non-polar glacier mass will diminish significantly. However, if warming is limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius ...
‘It’s pretty bleak’: A warming planet is poised to get even hotter, forecasters warn Hikers stop to enjoy the sunset while hiking Mount Rubidoux on Tuesday.
Pollution may have shielded it from the worst of global warming. That will change ...
Even best-case levels of global warming would mean 'catastrophic' sea level rise, study says “There’s very little that we’re observing that gives us hope here,” one study author said.
New research reveals mountain glaciers across the globe will not recover for centuries – even if human intervention cools the planet back to the 1.5°C limit, having exceeded it.
Plastic may be warming the planet more than we thought Most models haven’t accounted for how microplastics may increase global warming by disrupting natural cycles that store carbon.
It finds that the world's wealthiest 10% are responsible for two thirds of observed global warming since 1990 and the resulting increases in climate extremes such as heatwaves and droughts.
