Following a new scientific study, researchers have proposed a new potential cause for the Permian-Triassic (P-Tr) extinction event, which is informally known as the Great Dying. The team says that a huge burning of coal may have brought about the largest extinction in our planet's history.
The Great Dying was s... |

According to the conclusions of a new scientific study, it would appear that global sea levels are growing now faster than they did over the past 2,000 years. Researchers also found a clear correlation between global average surface temperature and sea level.The study focused on constructing a long-term model of how ... |

Some 5,000 years ago, the amount of methane in our atmosphere suddenly spiked, in a strange phenomenon that went unexplained for a very long time. One of the earliest ideas as to what happened says that the onset of extensive rice cultivation in Asia might have had something to do with this. This proposal has gained ... |

Experts investigating the ice shelves at the Martian south pole believe that a special type of greenhouse effect may be “powering” up the region, in a way that may allow for the appearance and development of life on the Red Planet. The scientists, based at the German Aerospace Center, in Berlin, Germany, ... |

In the first large-scale study to ever prove so, experts at the Cardiff University, in the United Kingdom, determined that the decline in CO2 levels in the planet's atmosphere some 34 million years ago led to the formation of the ice caps in Antarctica. Scientists from the University of Bristol and the Texas A&M... |

Carbon dioxide is a potent greenhouse gas, apparently responsible for the climate change effects that have started to become even more obvious in the last decades or so. We could say that we've learned our lesson but in fact, we haven't really, since more than 70 percent of the world's energy output is... |

Well, the global warming seems to have brought us enough bad news in the past decades, so scientists think it's finally time to release some good news. Contrary to the common belief that global warming would result in an increase in hurricane rates, a computer model simulated by the US National Oceanic and Atmos... |

Only a few decades ago, several European countries decided to ban nuclear power forever, because of the fears regarding radiation emissions and possible nuclear accidents that could literally render a whole city uninhabitable for a few million years. Today, however, greenhouse gases and increased power demand seem to... |

It has been often implied, in the last decades, that Mars must have been warmer in its past, and was able to sustain temperatures well above the water's freezing point, in order to account for the incontestable evidence that suggests the presence of liquid water on its surface in the past. On Earth, carbon dioxi... |

If you are still waiting for the hydrogen powered electric cars, then this info should really make your day. The two problems related to the mass production of fuel cells, the efficiency of extracting electric energy and the relatively high cost of such cells, could be both resolved with the invention of a new materi... |

They should really get this right once and for all. Is global warming triggered by the large emission of greenhouse gases by man or not? According to a handful of scientists in the U.S., mankind cannot be held responsible for the global warming effect currently observed on Earth. Strangely enough the American experts... |

There is a general misconception that nuclear power plants produce dangerous levels of radiation during their electric energy production activity, or that they are just another disaster waiting to happen. The truth is that aside the fact that they produce energy in an extremely efficient manner, without emitting any ... |

Global warming is triggered mostly by greenhouse gases, which trap the infrared light responsible for heat, between the layer of atmosphere situated between the ground and the lower part of the clouds, which determines a heating process of the whole Earth. It is generally believed that at the rate we are dispersing g... |

Global warming has been in the scientists' attention for some time now. It was first discovered at the end of the 19th century, from studies that showed that the average temperature of the soil was rising. The greenhouse effect that is thought to trigger global warming takes its name from the Greenhouse, as a to... |
