New Research Suggests Mars Experienced Warm and Cold Periods Affecting Liquid Water
New research from Harvard University suggests that Mars experienced alternating warm and cold periods billions of years ago, affecting its climate and ability to sustain liquid water. These fluctuations, which lasted up to 100,000 years, may have influenced the planet’s potential for life. The study highlights the role of hydrogen in trapping hea...

Not Just Carbon Dioxide, Other Greenhouse Gases Are Too Warming The Planet
While carbon dioxide (CO2) is the best-known greenhouse gas, several others, including methane and nitrous oxide, are also driving global warming and altering the Earth's climate.

Scientists Come Up With New Hack To Cool Down Warming Planet - By Reducing Atmospheric Vapour
Water vapour is also classified as a greenhouse gas, which is most abundant in the atmosphere, that amplifies the greenhouse effect.

Bill Gates Invests In Start-Up That Aims To Stop Cow Burps To Tackle Climate Change
Animals like cows, goats and deers produce greenhouse gas, methane, when their stomachs break down hard fibres for digestion.

Tonga Eruption: Excess Water Vapour Blasted Into Atmosphere Could Warm Up the Planet for Years, Study Says
The Tonga-Hunga Ha’apai underwater volcano that erupted in the South Pacific in January injected 1,60,900 tonnes of additional water vapour into the stratosphere, according to researchers. The excess water vapour could heat up the planet for several years, a new study reveals.

Earth's Atmosphere More Sensitive to CO2 Emissions Than Previously Believed, Study Finds
A new research reassessing the atmosphere’s sensitivity to carbon dioxide (CO2) helps narrow down the range of temperature rise caused by doubling of CO2 levels since pre-industrial times.

The Arctic Is Being Utterly Transformed - And We're Just Starting To Learn The Consequences
It's the fastest-warming part of the planet -- and the impacts will be felt far, far afield. Among many other assorted impacts, the rapidly melting Arctic is expected to flood shorelines as Greenland loses ice more and more rapidly (it contains some 20 feet of potential sea level rise), further pump greenhouse gases into the atmosphere as permafros...

Scientists May Have Just Solved One of The Most Troubling Mysteries About Sea-Level Rise
Scientists have announced a potential solution to a tantalizing puzzle about sea-level rise that's remained unsolved for more than a decade. In doing so, they've helped confirm scientists' latest estimates of 20th-century glacial melting and our understanding of how sea-level rise fundamentally affects the planet - down to the way it spins on its a...

Global Climate Deal Expected On Saturday: French Hosts
Ministers from across the planet are expected to wrap up a 195-nation UN climate-saving deal on Saturday, one day later than the original deadline, the French hosts said.

World Leaders Seek New Path to Slow Warming of Planet
Next week, in the waning days of what is set to be the hottest year on record, world leaders meet on the outskirts of Paris for a summit that seeks nothing less than to steer the global economy away from its ever-growing reliance on fossil fuels.

'Life on Planet at Stake', France Warns as Climate Ministers Meet
France's top diplomat, who will preside over a year-end Paris summit tasked with inking a climate rescue pact, warned today of looming planetary "catastrophe" if negotiations fail.

2013 another unusually warm year across globe: US
Last year was among a handful of the warmest on record since 1880, according to US government figures out that provide more evidence that the planet is heating up.

The oceans will evaporate, but not anytime soon
Those are the conclusions of a new study into the so-called Goldilocks zone -- the distance from a star at which water on a rocky planet can exist as a liquid rather than as permanent ice or vapour.

Climate talks deadlocked as countdown starts for final week
UN climate negotiators bickered in Doha on Monday over cash and commitments needed to curb Earth-warming greenhouse gases, even as fresh alarm bells were rung about the perils the planet faces.
