Last year, 2024, was the warmest year on record for the planet, easily breaking the previous record set just a year earlier.

But now, as global warming and urban development bring higher temperatures over the city in summer, the co-occurring impacts of intense heat and air pollution compound in less obvious but ...

Global warming is accelerating, with 2024 being the hottest year on record. CO2 levels are rising faster than expected.

In this article, we unpack what super pollutants are and why they have an outsized impact on the climate and public health.

Atmospheric scientists show proposed 'geoengineering' effort to remove methane, a potent greenhouse gas, from the atmosphere could worse air quality while providing minimal climate benefits.

“If you implement technologies to reduce air pollution, this will accelerate – very significantly – global warming in the short term.” The Chinese and Indian environment ministries didn ...

A 2023 global heat spike was partly due to reduced sulfate emissions from shipping, which decreased cloud cover and raised ...

Decreased air pollution alone doesn’t seem to explain it. They suggest that global warming itself could be causing some reduction in cloud coverage, creating a feedback loop that could ...

Utah atmospheric scientists reveal that a proposed "geoengineering" strategy to remove a potent greenhouse gas could worsen ...

Experts say limiting the release of nitrous oxide is crucial for keeping warming below the critical 1.5°C threshold of the ...

In his first day as the 47th U.S. president, Donald Trump took action to reverse many of the Biden administration's efforts ...
