The Invisible Problem: How carbon warms Earth The Invisible Problem: Understanding how carbon is warming the Earth 09:22 Climate scientists have made one thing clear: Staving off the worst impacts of global temperature rise requires widespread and immediate action to minimize greenhouse gas emissions. Even still, a new report shows…

New analysis has found increasing emissions of several ozone-depleting chemicals despite their production being banned for most uses under the Montreal Protocol – and a loophole in the rules is likely responsible. The University of Bristol and National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) research, which was published Monday in Nature…

The bottom of the ocean experiences heatwaves, too. That might seem like common sense, but until recently, scientists weren’t aware that ocean heatwaves spread across the bottom of the ocean, too. Instead, they believed that they were only found on the surface. Thankfully new research has helped shed light on…

This week, NASA astronomers spotted a gaping, black region on the sun. The so-called "coronal hole" looks as if someone blew a hole right through our star, and its appearance spurred NOAA…

The massive coronal hole, seen near the sun's south pole in this March 23 satelltie image, is wide enough to git 20 Earths within. (Image credit: NASA/ Solar Dynamics Observatory) A massive "hole" larger than 20 Earths has opened in the sun's atmosphere and will soon batter our planet with…
