Global Warming

Extreme heat in 2023 fuelled devastating wildfires in Greece SAKIS MITROLIDIS/AFP via Getty Images 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 is speeding up even more than…

For years, scientists have been keeping a wary eye on the massive system of currents that carry water and nutrients across the ocean from Greenland to Antarctica. The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation plays a large part in stabilizing the global climate, but it appears to have been weakening in recent…

Global warming has been increasing at a faster pace since about 2015, according to a new study from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). By adjusting global temperature records to remove known natural influences, researchers were able to identify a statistically significant rise in the rate of warming…

New research shows that since 2015, the rate of global warming has significantly increased. (Image credit: Pierre Crom via Getty Images) The rate of global warming has accelerated at a higher level since 2015 than in any decade since records began in 1880, according to a new study that removes…

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 half-century, a recent study finds it has accelerated over the last decade — an alarming trend for…

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, Volume 123, Issue 10, March 2026. SignificanceNitrous oxide (N2O) is a potent and increasingly important greenhouse gas currently responsible for ~7% of human-caused atmospheric warming. Agriculture is a major emitter of N2O globally, and agricultural soils are a major if still uncertain ...Read…

Skip to content Whaling was once a major engine of the global economy. Millions of whales were killed for their blubber until commercial whaling was banned in the 1980s. Since then, some whale populations have rebounded, but from the coast of California to the Antarctic Ocean, climate change is now…
