The Arctic is heating up with every passing moment, and scientists have detected feedback loops that may be fueling it, ...

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 ...

Climate tipping points are thresholds within Earth’s climate system beyond which change becomes self-reinforcing and, in some cases, irreversible on human timescales. Rather than unfolding gradually, ...

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 ...

"The resulting datasets are producing an improved understanding." Scientists issue warning after discovering massive chemical ...

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.

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.

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

Global warming melts sea ice, which leads to further warming because water absorbs more heat than ice, creating what scientists call a "climate feedback loop." ...
