New research reveals how the Earth might overcorrect for global warming. For a long time, scientists believed that the ...
Antarctic sea ice changes affect clouds and oceans, making global warming stronger than earlier climate models predicted.
New research shows that today’s global warming could eventually overshoot into runaway cooling, setting the stage for a ...

Climate tipping points sound scary, especially for ice sheets and oceans—why there's still room for optimism
As the planet warms, it risks crossing catastrophic tipping points: thresholds where Earth systems, such as ice sheets and rainforests, change irreversibly over human lifetimes.
New research shows warming events can, under certain conditions, trigger long-term cooling strong enough to resemble past ice ages.
A single degree might seem insignificant, but it’s the difference between stability and chaos.Since the 1970s, water in the Gulf of Mexico has increased by about one degree Celsius. While this may ...
But the history of climate science tells a different story. The earliest climate models made specific forecasts about global warming decades before those forecasts could be proved or disproved. And ...
