By the end of this century, permafrost in the rapidly warming Arctic will likely emit as much carbon dioxide and methane into the atmosphere as a large industrial nation, and potentially more than the U.S. has emitted since the start of the industrial revolution.

About 56 million years ago, volcanoes quickly dumped massive amounts of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, heating the Earth rapidly.

The scientific expedition to the Nord Stream leak from the University of Gothenburg has arrived back home. 

Cobalt-based catalysts could be used to turn mixed plastic waste into fuel, new plastics, and other products.

A University of Guelph chemist has found a novel way to turn methane into methanol, a discovery that may help stem global warming and create useful industrial products at the same time.  

While achieving the United Nations (UN) ambitious Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) for wastewater treatment would cause substantial improvements in global water quality, severe water quality issues would contain to persist in some world regions.

A calculator which could reduce the level of carbon emissions generated by food production and consumption has been developed by data scientists at the University of Leeds.

New technology developed at the University of Waterloo could make a significant difference in the fight against climate change by affordably converting harmful carbon dioxide (CO2) into fuels and other valuable chemicals on an industrial scale.

Invisible shipping tracks had a clear impact on the properties of clouds they polluted. Surprisingly, the specific effects were different to those of visible shipping tracks.

Tiny amounts of crude oil on the water surface, less than one percent of the thickness of a hair, can damage seabird feathers, a University College Cork (UCC) study finds.
