Traditional climate models take a lot of data into account when predicting how the planet's warming trend will continue to progress. But a group of scientists from around the world say that they might ...

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 ...

When most Americans hear the term “climate change,” they probably think about CO2 in the atmosphere and rising temperatures; or maybe weather-related disasters; or melting Arctic sea ice.

An international collaboration led by Oregon State University scientists has identified 27 global warming accelerators known as amplifying feedback loops, including some that the researchers say may ...

We know by now that climate change can’t be ignored. Now and then, though, we stumble upon a new reason to embrace climate change mitigation techniques with a renewed sense of urgency. This might be ...

It’s hard to escape the reality that the world is not doing well in responding to climate change. According to the most recent United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, global ...

When sea ice melts, it can lead to faster warming because water absorbs more heat than ice does. That’s one of more than 25 climate feedback loops found in a recent study from Oregon State University.

Tufts scientists say soil, holding 80 percent of Earth’s carbon, releases increasing amounts of greenhouse gases as droughts trigger desiccation cracks in soils The accuracy of climate models depends ...

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 cyclical ...

A methane feedback loop that is beyond humans' ability to control may have begun, scientists with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) have said. Methane is a powerful greenhouse ...
