A better-ventilated North Pacific could have reduced the carbon of water upwelled in the Southern Ocean, reducing outgassing and revealing a remote influence on Southern Ocean biogeochemistry in glaci...

Satellite-derived time series of vegetation carbon do not support a strong Northern Hemisphere net land carbon sink.

Abstract. The proportionality between global mean temperature and cumulative emissions of CO2 predicted in Earth system models (ESMs) is the foundation of carbon budgeting frameworks. Deviations from ...

More than 85 scientists say that a recent U.S. Department of Energy report is full of errors and misrepresents climate science.

Submitted: September 2, 2025 by Dr. Peter H. Gleick, member, US National Academy of Sciences. The document “A Critical Review of Impacts of Greenhouse Gas Emissions on the U.S. Cli

The ocean carbon sink strengthened in previous warm El Niño years due to reduced CO2 outgassing in the tropics. Here the authors show that the ocean carbon sink declined in 2023 despite record-high se...
