Using fossil fuels releases much more of the potent greenhouse gas methane than previously thought — possibly 25 to 40 percent more, new research suggests. The finding could help scientists and policy ...

Satellite data show that more than twice as much methane is leaking from a vast U.S. oil- and natural gas-producing region than previously estimated. From May 2018 to March 2019, a European Space ...

Canada's 2023 wildfires, the worst on record, burned an area roughly the size of Florida Canada’s record wildfires last year produced more carbon emissions than the burning of fossil fuels in all but ...

Carbon dioxide removal (CDR) strategies use a wide range of techniques to capture CO 2 from the air and store it durably, offering a frontier solution for counteracting the increasing levels of the ...

Human-made phosphorus pollution is reaching dangerously high levels in freshwater basins around the world, according to new research. Human-made phosphorus pollution is reaching dangerously high ...

Whether or not our planet’s rainforests are a net sink of carbon — meaning they sequester more than their destruction by human activities causes them to emit — is a much-debated issue. Research ...

Organic carbon dissolved in water plays a vital role in the Earth's carbon cycle. Understanding carbon cycling is central to understanding climate change and how aquatic communities are structured and ...

Canada’s record wildfires last year produced more carbon emissions than the burning of fossil fuels in all but three major countries, according to a study released in the journal Nature. Only China, ...
