SYFY's interstellar science fiction adventure The Ark (streaming now on Peacock) imagines what might happen a century from now if we don’t get a handle on climate change. By the time the show starts, ...

In collaboration with France's CNRS laboratories in Paris and Bordeaux, researchers at the University of Geneva have successfully simulated all stages of a runaway greenhouse effect for the first time ...

As more greenhouse gases are released into the atmosphere, it becomes harder and harder for heat to seep into space. This causes the global temperature to rise, and could even result in more ...

In 1827, French scientist Jean-Baptiste Fourier noticed the similarity between the effect of glass in a greenhouse retaining heat from sunlight in the greenhouse and the similar effect that the ...

Scientists from Imperial College, London, have produced the first direct observational evidence that the earth’s greenhouse effect increased between 1970 and 1997. Writing today in the journal Nature ...

MOREHEAD, Ky. (AP) — To harvest tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers, to clip herbs, to prune and propagate succulents, people work in oppressive heat and humidity. Some wring out shirts soaked with sweat.
