New research reveals how the Earth might overcorrect for global warming. For a long time, scientists believed that the gradual breakdown of silicate rocks played the leading role in regulating Earth’s ...

Traditional climate models take a lot of data into account when predicting how the planet's warming trend will continue to progress. But a group of scientists from around the world say that they might ...

Feedback loops identified in a study could heat the Earth beyond anything humans can control, scientists have found. A team of international scientists, including ones from Oregon State University, ...

When sea ice melts, it can lead to faster warming because water absorbs more heat than ice does. That’s one of more than 25 climate feedback loops found in a recent study from Oregon State University.

Modern farming habits boosting yields today may quietly strip soils of their resilience, threatening long-term fertility and ...

It’s hard to escape the reality that the world is not doing well in responding to climate change. According to the most recent United Nations' Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change report, global ...

Scientists have long reported that the Earth is rapidly approaching a “tipping point” for the planet when it comes to global warming. Environmental "feedback loops" may be hastening the crisis beyond ...

An international collaboration led by Oregon State University scientists has identified 27 global warming accelerators known as amplifying feedback loops, including some that the researchers say may ...

We know by now that climate change can’t be ignored. Now and then, though, we stumble upon a new reason to embrace climate change mitigation techniques with a renewed sense of urgency. This might be ...
