Reductions in air pollution have helped warm the planet by cutting down on reflective particles in the atmosphere – but ...

In 2020, strict rules were put in place to slash cargo-ship emissions. Five years on, it appears to have been less than ...

Earth’s prolonged streak of abnormal heat continued into 2025 despite the arrival of La Niña ocean conditions, which ...

Scientists link global warming to lower sulfur pollution from ships. Fewer ship aerosols mean less sunlight reflection, allowing heat to stay.

The inevitable breach of the 1.5°C warming threshold is accelerated by decreased air pollution, increasing Earth's energy ...

Extreme fire seasons in recent years highlight the urgent need to better understand wildfires within the broader context of ...

Cleaner air's impact requires a steeper reduction in human-emitted methane to meet global targets. A new study reveals that ...

Climate scientists present a realistic supercomputer simulation that resolves the complex interactions between fire, vegetation, smoke and the atmosphere. The authors find that increasing greenhouse ...

The planet has been shattering heat records for the past two years. That was expected to ease in January—and the fact that it ...

Reducing sulphur in the air may inadvertently increase natural emissions of methane from wetlands such as peatlands and swamps, a new study has found. The resulting additional future release of 20-34 ...

Improved computer models shed light on how reducing sulphur emissions will inadvertently release methane from wetlands.

James Hansen, the climate scientist best known for alerting the US Congress to global warming in the 1980s, has redoubled his warnings that we are underestimating the climate impact of declining ...
