Temperatures in central China are 10 to 14 degrees Fahrenheit hotter today than they were 20,000 years ago - an increase two to four times greater than many scientists previously thought.   20,…

We, the people, have understood. We've got it. Too much CO2 is spewed out in the atmosphere!  The problem is that we, the people, understood this like 'a million' years ago. I wish those who…

Cirrus clouds, the thin wisps of vapor that coalesce in the upper layers of the troposphere and trail across the sky, often more than 10 miles above the Earth's surface, influence our global…

Hawaii does not get a lot of hurricanes, only two have made landfall in the last 30 years. But scientists at the International Pacific Research Center, University of Hawaii at Manoa predict that…

The World Is Getting Cooler* *  Not!This is something of a pre-emptive strike against the quote miners of this world.  I predict that they will use a new study of cloud seeding to sell ice…

Natural emissions and man-made pollutants have an unexpected effect; they make clouds brighter and have a cooling effect on the world's climate. A quick primer: Clouds are made of water droplets,…

Rainfall over the Hawaiian Islands has been declining since 1978. Is the drying trend due to global warming? Yes, says a team of researchers who found that climate models don't have enough…

Thermoelectric power plants interact with climate, hydrology, and aquatic ecosystems while rivers serve as "horizontal cooling towers"  — but at a cost to the environment, says a new analysis.…

While the United States is now back at early 1990s levels of CO2 emissions, thanks to a switch to natural gas in the energy sector and a moribund economy, that doesn't apply to Asia. The middle class…

An analysis of how carbon is trapped and released by iron-rich volcanic magma offers clues about our early atmospheric evolution and also that of other terrestrial bodies. The composition of a planet…
