Injecting Sulfate Particles Into Stratosphere Won't Fully Offset Climate Change
January 25, 2012 — New research demonstrates that one suggested method of geoengineering the atmosphere to deal with climate change, injecting sulfate particles into the stratosphere, probably would have limited ... > full story -
Classifying Solar Eruptions
January 25, 2012 — Solar flares are giant explosions on the sun that send energy, light and high speed particles into space. These flares are often associated with solar magnetic storms known as coronal mass ejections ... > full story -
Space Weather Arrives: Relatively Minor Impacts Expected from Solar Storm
January 24, 2012 — A significant blast of energy from the sun arrived at Earth on Jan. 24, 2012 at 10 a.m. EST, triggering a moderate geomagnetic storm here that's unlikely to cause major problems. But skywatchers take ... > full story -
Strongest Solar Radiation Storm Since 2005
January 23, 2012 — NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center -- the nation's official source of warnings and alerts about space weather and its impacts on Earth -- has issued a watch for a geomagnetic storm associated ... > full story -
Sunshade Geoengineering More Likely to Improve Global Food Security, Research Suggests
January 22, 2012 — Carbon dioxide emissions have been increasing over the past decades, causing Earth to get hotter and hotter. There are concerns that a continuation of these trends could have catastrophic effects. ... > full story -
NASA Finds 2011 Ninth-Warmest Year on Record
January 19, 2012 — The global average surface temperature in 2011 was the ninth warmest since 1880, according to NASA scientists. The finding continues a trend in which nine of the 10 warmest years in the modern ... > full story -
Low Temperatures Enhance Ozone Degradation Above the Arctic
January 19, 2012 — Extraordinarily cold temperatures in the winter of 2010/2011 caused the most massive destruction of the ozone layer above the Arctic so far: The mechanisms leading to the first ozone hole above the ... > full story -
Climate Balancing: Sea-Level Rise Vs. Surface Temperature Change Rates
January 18, 2012 — Engineering our way out of global climate warming may not be as easy as simply reducing the incoming solar energy, according to a climate scientists. Designing the approach to control both sea level ... > full story -
Power Generation Is Blowing in the Wind
January 17, 2012 — By looking at the stability of the atmosphere, wind farm operators could gain greater insight into the amount of power generated at any given time. Power generated by a wind turbine largely depends ... > full story -
Cold Winters Caused by Warmer Summers, Research Suggests
January 12, 2012 — Scientists have offered up a convincing explanation for the harsh winters recently experienced in the Northern hemisphere: increasing temperatures and melting ice in the Arctic regions creating more ... > full story -
Offsetting Global Warming: Molecule in Earth's Atmosphere Could 'Cool the Planet'
January 12, 2012 — Scientists have shown that a newly discovered molecule in Earth's atmosphere has the potential to play a significant role in offsetting global warming by cooling the ... > full storyMore: -
Could Siberian Volcanism Have Caused the Earth's Largest Extinction Event?
January 9, 2012 — Around 250 million years ago there was a mass extinction so severe that it remains the most traumatic known species die-off in Earth's history. Although the cause of this event is a mystery, it has ... > full story
