Critically, microplastics do not simply accumulate—they interact with the climate system by lowering the albedo of ice and snow, releasing greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide (CO₂) and methane ...

Atmos reports on ecologist Tom Crowther's optimistic perspective on climate change, emphasizing positive feedback loops that ...

The world's oceans may be quietly amplifying climate change in ways scientists are only beginning to understand. In a new study published in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, University ...

Risky feedback loops that are accelerating global climate change may not be fully accounted for in current climate models, according to a recent study published in the scientific journal One Earth. A ...

CNN — Dangerous climate feedback loops are increasing global warming and risk causing a permanent shift away from the Earth's current climate, according to a new study. Climate feedback loops are ...

Scientists say multiple critical Earth systems appear closer to destabilisation than previously believed. This is putting the planet in increased danger of following a “hothouse” path driven by ...

Climate change is increasingly affecting the ability of Earth’s natural carbon sinks to soak up excess carbon dioxide, and this means more of this greenhouse gas emitted by human activity is staying ...

The latest study finds that emissions of the potent greenhouse gas might be higher than previously estimated. Warming in the Arctic is intensifying methane emissions, contributing to a vicious ...

Vicious cycles are accelerating climate change. One is happening at the north pole, where rising temperatures caused by record levels of fossil fuel combustion are melting more and more sea ice.
