Mark Herz: This is GBH’s Morning Edition. The amount of carbon dioxide in our atmosphere is increasing faster than ever. One global monitor showed that peak to peak from 2022 to 2024, we saw the ...

John Locher/AP / AP The amount of planet-warming carbon dioxide in the Earth’s atmosphere has hit a new record, as humanity struggles to rein in emissions of greenhouse gasses from burning fossil ...

Over the last decade, humanity's emissions of carbon dioxide (CO₂) have stabilized after a period of huge growth. Average growth is now down to just 0.6% per year, compared to 2% per year in the ...

The concentration of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere has climbed 33 percent since the late 1950s, an unprecedented spike in all of human history. Analyzing air bubbles trapped in ancient Antarctic ...

Scientists may have to rethink the relationship between the ocean's circulation and its long-term capacity to store carbon, new research suggests. As the ocean gets weaker, it could release more ...

The ocean has long acted as a stabilizing force in the climate system, quietly drawing carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere ...

Hundreds of miles of pipeline must be built—and quickly—if California is to meet its fast-approaching deadline for removing millions of tons of climate-altering carbon dioxide from the atmosphere.

The world’s oceans are becoming dangerously acidic. A controversial proposal would raise the pH — by mixing chemicals into ...
