Reductions in air pollution have helped warm the planet by cutting down on reflective particles in the atmosphere – but ...

The rapid meltdown of polar ice could shut down a key ocean current by 2050, triggering catastrophic surges of sea level rise along the U.S. East Coast and dangerous climate shifts in northwestern ...

A new attribution analysis found that climate heating caused by burning fossil fuels significantly increased the likelihood ...

Titled “Principles-Based Adept Predictions of Global Warming from Climate Mean States”, the study introduces a novel framework that accurately predicts the magnitude and spatial pattern of ...

That's a significant number, because it's the target that world leaders agreed to under the landmark Paris Agreement in 2015, to try to limit global warming. But, while the hot year certainly isn ...

Global warming is quickly spiralling out of control, the Met Office has warned. According to the forecaster, Earth is 'off-track' to limit global warming to 1.5°C (2.7°F) - a key goal set out ...

The threshold was established at the 2015 Paris climate conference. 195 nations signed a landmark agreement to limit global warming to “well below” 2C “above pre-industrial averages” by the end of the ...

Related: The 'safe' threshold for global warming will be passed in just 6 years, scientists say This probably comes as little surprise, but the news is official: 2024 was the warmest year on record.

The rapid increase in CO2 is "incompatible" with the international pledge to try to limit global warming to 1.5C above pre-industrial levels, the Met Office says. This was the ambitious goal ...

Levels of the most significant planet-warming gas in our atmosphere rose more quickly than ever previously recorded last year, scientists say, leaving a key global climate target hanging by a thread.
