Climate tipping points are thresholds within Earth’s climate system beyond which change becomes self-reinforcing and, in some cases, irreversible on human timescales. Rather than unfolding gradually, ...
Climate change is racing ahead in the Arctic, and a team of scientists just mapped out how the region’s chemistry is helping it along.
The Arctic is heating faster than any other region on Earth, and scientists now say a newly identified chain reaction in the ...
The Arctic is heating up with every passing moment, and scientists have detected feedback loops that may be fueling it, ...
The errors in future projections are due to a process called "cloud emissivity feedback." In a nutshell, as the Arctic warms, clouds shift from containing mostly ice to more liquid, which increases ...

Earth may be on the verge of crossing several climate change tipping points that could have irreversible and devastating consequences. Here's everything you need to know about these "points of no ...
The Arctic is changing rapidly, and scientists have uncovered a powerful mix of natural and human-driven processes fueling ...
