Overview
Understand climate change causes, effects and solutions from scientific and practical perspectives. Articles explain carbon emissions, ocean chemistry, biofuels and global prevention efforts.
Biofuels and Climate Change
Biofuels promised carbon-neutral transport, but the reality of how they're produced raises serious questions about their climate benefits.
Effect of Carbon Emissions on Ocean Chemistry
Carbon emissions are making ocean water more acidic, with serious consequences for marine chemistry and ecosystems.
How Can We Prevent Climate Change?
Simple changes at home and in daily life can slow climate change and help protect the planet for future generations.
What Is Being Done to Stop Climate Change?
Global agreements like the Kyoto Protocol and individual actions are working to cut carbon emissions, but major countries still resist commitment.
What Is Climate Change?
Climate change is the rapid shift in Earth's atmosphere caused by human activity over the past 200 years, mainly from burning fossil fuels.
What Is Happening as a Result of Climate Change?
Rising temperatures, melting ice caps and other visible effects of climate change happening right now across the planet.
