Key climate tipping points may be closer than expected, raising the risk of accelerating warming, sea-level rise, and ...

Climate change makes nitrous oxide disappear faster, creating new uncertainty for future climate and ozone predictions.

Uncertainty in climate models could mean Earth systems are perilously close to their tipping points, scientists warn.

Earth’s climate system may be approaching a set of irreversible thresholds that, once crossed, could lock the planet into a ...

The Nature Index 2025 Research Leaders — previously known as Annual Tables — reveal the leading institutions and countries/territories in the natural and health sciences, according to their output in ...

Scientists at the University of California, Irvine have discovered that climate change is causing nitrous oxide, a potent greenhouse gas and ozone-depleting substance, to break down in the atmosphere ...

Scientists first outlined the prospect of a Hothouse Earth in 2018, warning that cascading tipping points could lock the ...

A new study shows that during the last two deglaciations, i.e., the transition from an ice age to the warm interglacial periods, meltwater from the Antarctic ice sheet intensified stratification in ...

Scientists have developed a powerful new way to trace the journey of water across the planet by reading tiny atomic clues hidden inside it. Slightly heavier versions of hydrogen and oxygen, called ...

The trade winds are permanent east-to-west prevailing winds that flow in Earth's equatorial region, blowing mainly from the northeast in the Northern Hemisphere and from the southeast in the Southern ...
