As the Arctic warms, melting glaciers could be an underestimated source of the potent greenhouse gas
With concerns about the warming Arctic already at an all-time high, scientists are beginning to…
A new study links the buildup of greenhouse gas emissions to more frequent heat waves, floods and droughts in the Northern Hemisphere.
Greenhouse gases are increasingly disrupting the jet stream…
