A new assessment of NASA's record of global temperatures revealed that the agency's estimate of Earth's long-term temperature rise in recent decades is accurate to within less than a tenth of a degree Fahrenheit, providing confidence that past and future research is correctly capturing rising surface temperatures.

One of the big issues with sustainable energy systems is how to store electricity that’s generated from wind, solar and waves. 

A relatively simple process could help turn the tide of climate change while also turning a healthy profit.

Subtropical Storm Andrea was gone before the storm could even reach Tropical Storm status.

Researchers at the University of Oxford have confirmed that human activity and other external factors are responsible for the rise in global temperature. 

The climate history of the earth is marked by periodic changes that are usually ascribed to the solar radiation reaching the surface of the earth. 

Research carried out into the impact of changes to chimpanzee habitats found they have adapted to human developments in a number of ways – including learning how to cross roads safely - but their survival is still threatened.

Record levels of greenhouse gas pollution continued to increase humanity’s impact on the atmosphere’s heat-trapping capacity during 2018, according to a yearly analysis released by NOAA scientists today.

NOAA and partners have launched a new buoy in Fagatele Bay within NOAA’s National Marine Sanctuary of American Samoa to measure the amount of carbon dioxide in the waters around a vibrant tropical coral reef ecosystem.
