As the planet warms, permafrost, wildfires, wetlands, and freshwaters start releasing greenhouse gases of their own. Here's what the science says, in plain terms.

Earth's energy imbalance — the gap between absorbed and radiated energy — has at least doubled since 2000, driven largely by a decline in planetary reflectivity that is itself a feedback from greenhou...

Reflections on a warming planet

Using a new model to study hydroxyl radicals (OH) — known as the “atmosphere’s detergent” for their ability to break down the powerful greenhouse gas methane — MIT scientists found a warming climate c...

Facts are supposed to shape policy—not the other way around. That key principle is being undermined as the Trump administration seeks to reverse an important pillar of U.S. climate policy. In its p...

The Environmental Protection Agency has altered and removed information from its web site that connected climate change to the burning of fossil fuels.

It’s time to unlock faster solutions for the largest source of methane from human activity: livestock.

As climate change heats up the planet, natural systems like warming wetlands and thawing permafrost are expected to emit more greenhouse gases...

As atmospheric methane concentrations continue to rise, pushing us off course from our climate goals, scientists are exploring new strategies that could harness biology to complement methane emissions...

Spark is working to accelerate scientific understanding and action on natural feedbacks and support work to quantify and identify measures to manage greenhouse gas emissions from warming natural syste...

Attempt to repeal the endangerment finding for greenhouse gases defies science
