A soil scientist from RUDN University discovered the effect of fertilization on the ability of the soil to retain carbon. To understand this mechanism, he and his team studied the movement of organic ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) How does the greenhouse effect work? Greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide and methane, prevent infrared radiation from escaping to outer space. This warms the surface of ...

Solar radiation enters the Earth's atmosphere without any hindrance and should normally leave it as heat. Unfortunately, this is impeded by the thickening "greenhouse roof" consisting of carbon ...

It seems like a contradiction. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, so it would be natural to assume it is also the ...

Rising concentrations of methane and carbon dioxide have led to a “negative greenhouse effect” above parts of Antarctica, but this slight cooling effect could reverse as the air becomes more humid ...

For over a century, scientists have been measuring the effects of greenhouse gases on the temperature of the planet. Earth naturally experiences temperature fluctuations, but data tracing back to the ...
