In the face of a warming world, some scientists argue that directly removing carbon dioxide from the air could help limit the severity of climate change. Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) is an open field ...

Laser satellites have exposed a hidden winter carbon surge in the Southern Ocean, rewriting climate science’s polar playbook.

A mesocosm used by scientists from Geomar Helmholtz Center for Ocean Research Kiel at the island of Helgoland in 2023 functions as a giant test tube, sealed from the surrounding water but experiencing ...

CO2 is a natural part of the planet, but too much has tipped the climate scales. Carbon dioxide may be a naturally occurring substance on Earth, but too much of its presence has contributed to global ...

As the daughter of firefighters in Southern California, Gabby Kitch grew up with a strong sense of how public service can help preserve and protect the world — with water. In her career she just opted ...

Heating alone won’t drive soil microbes to release more carbon dioxide — they need added carbon and nutrients to thrive. This finding challenges assumptions about how climate warming influences soil ...

Earth’s atmosphere now has more carbon dioxide in it than it has in millions — and possibly tens of millions — of years, according to data released Thursday by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric ...

Rice, the world’s most consumed grain, will become increasingly toxic as the atmosphere heats and as carbon dioxide emissions rise, potentially putting billions of people at risk of cancers and other ...
