EDITOR’S NOTE: This story is part of an ongoing series answering some of the most fundamental questions around climate change, the science behind it, the effects of a warming planet and how the world ...

Earth’s atmosphere contains a mix of gases that sustain life by absorbing some solar radiation, allowing living organisms to breathe, and transporting water. One class of gases, known as greenhouse ...

As industries seek innovative solutions for carbon capture, scientists have turned to advanced materials that efficiently trap and store carbon dioxide (CO ) from industrial emissions. A recent study ...

Oak Ridge National Laboratory scientist, Charles Seipp, is one of many working to find chemicals that capture carbon dioxide readily and release it with relatively ...

Carbon is found all around the Earth, including in our bodies. While most of the carbon can be found in the geosphere, it is ...

The cause of global warming is showing no signs of slowing as heat-trapping carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere increased to record highs in its annual spring peak, jumping at one of the fastest ...

That carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases trap heat is something scientists have known about for more than a 150 years. The underlying concept behind climate change is simple enough that school ...
