In 1859, an Irish physicist named John Tyndall conducted a series of experiments that involved passing heat through gases ...

Think of a greenhouse. It’s a structure with glass walls that lets light in and traps heat, all for the benefit of the plants inside. As for how it works, that’s elementary! It’s all down to the ...

For the first time, a team of researchers has simulated what would happen if trapped greenhouse gases in the Earth’s atmosphere trigger a snowball effect, causing a dramatic rise in the planet’s ...

In collaboration with France's CNRS laboratories in Paris and Bordeaux, researchers at the University of Geneva have successfully simulated all stages of a runaway greenhouse effect for the first time ...

MOREHEAD, Ky. (AP) — To harvest tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers, to clip herbs, to prune and propagate succulents, people work in oppressive heat and humidity. Some wring out shirts soaked with sweat.

Greenhouse gases in the atmosphere (including carbon dioxide, methane, and water vapor) absorb the infrared light and then re-emit it in random directions. Some escapes to space, and some remains ...

As more greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere, it becomes harder and harder for heat to seep into space. This causes the global temperature to rise, and could even result in more ...

Kim Stanley Robinson, a science-fiction writer, analyzed the future of the climate crisis as part of the Boston College Lowell Humanities Series on Wednesday night, explaining that it is not too late ...

Could Earth end up with a runaway greenhouse effect like Venus someday, and what could this mean for finding life on exoplanets? This is something a recent study published in Astronomy & Astrophysics ...

In an anti-greenhouse effect, the green house effect is reversed and this will cause cooling. The greenhouse effect occurs when the atmosphere lets sunlight in and blocks infrared radiation from ...
