A peer-reviewed study published in Nature Geoscience has found that during Earth’s most extreme ancient warming periods, ...

Scientists say Earth is shifting from a merely warm planet toward what some describe as a “Hothouse” state, driven not just by smokestacks and tailpipes but by quieter feedbacks and thresholds. I see ...

Stephen Kane, a professor of planetary astrophysics at UC Riverside, was skeptical when he read recent studies that showed the gravitational pull from Mars being connected to Earth’s long-term climate ...

At half the size of Earth and one-tenth its mass, Mars is a featherweight as far as planets go. And yet, new research reveals the extent to which Mars is quietly tugging on Earth’s orbit and shaping ...

Earth's climate has swung between ice ages and warmer periods for millions of years, driven by subtle changes in our planet's orbit and axial tilt. These variations, known as Milankovitch cycles, ...

Researchers have identified a "tipping point" about 2.7 million years ago when global climate conditions switched from being ...

No, this is not some new geological era, epoch or age. No, it is not some science fiction story either. But yes, we find ourselves at a new point in human history where, for the first time, ...

For 42 years, NASA satellites have tracked how sunlight powers Earth’s climate. The long record is revealing subtle shifts that could reshape climate predictions. These findings are adding new layers ...
