Key climate tipping points may be closer than expected, raising the risk of accelerating warming, sea-level rise, and ...

Although government action has been insufficient when it comes to putting the global economy on a path to net-zero carbon, market mechanisms are emerging that promise to drive major progress. We call ...

Methane emissions from wetlands are rising faster than those from industrial sources, prompting concerns about a climate feedback loop.

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 ...

Vicious cycles are accelerating climate change. One is happening at the north pole, where rising temperatures caused by record levels of fossil fuel combustion are melting more and more sea ice.

Climate scientists are warning that global warming could trigger a cascade of "tipping points" that threaten to plunge our planet into chaos. But what exactly are tipping points, what happens if we ...

Sharp changes could result in a cascade of subsystem interactions that would steer the planet toward extreme warming and sea ...

A potent greenhouse gas has begun seeping out of the Antarctic seafloor in dozens of places, scientists have discovered. Researchers documented the emergence of these methane seeps in shallow regions ...

Scientists say multiple Earth system components appear closer to destabilization than previously believed, putting the planet ...

Researchers have discovered dozens of new methane seeps littering the ocean floor in the Ross Sea coastal region of Antarctica, raising concerns of an unknown positive climate feedback loop that could ...

Scientists say that multiple Earth system components appear closer to destabilization than previously believed, putting the planet in increased danger of following a "hothouse" path driven by feedback ...
