For most of us, first-hand knowledge of Greenland is probably limited to flying over it en route to North America. It's ...

Thousands to millions of tons of plastic enter the ocean annually, but where they end up is poorly understood.

The accelerated timeline is due to higher-than-expected temperatures over the past few years, diminishing air pollution that ...

These can't get through the glass as easily, trapping heat in your car. That's the greenhouse effect in a nutshell. MYTH: CRACKING A WINDOW KEEPS YOUR CAR COOLER Finally, let’s dispel a very ...

It is maintained by a natural process known as the greenhouse effect—a system that regulates Earth’s temperature and makes life possible. The greenhouse effect gets its name from the way a ...

As for how it works, that’s elementary! It’s all down to the greenhouse effect… right? Alas, no. So many of us have been mislead. Let’s rexamine how we think greenhouses work, and then ...

Dubbed a negative greenhouse effect, this unique occurrence only happens in extremely dry circumstances. Studies measuring how the negative greenhouse effect works point directly to a lack of ...

Rising concentrations of methane and carbon dioxide have led to a “negative greenhouse effect” above parts of Antarctica, but this slight cooling effect could reverse as the air becomes more ...
