January had not been expected to set a new record because of cool waters in the Eastern Pacific from a weak La Niña event.

Rising temperatures are fueled, in part, by declining cloud cover — which could be a potential climate feedback loop.

Researchers found that Greenland’s ice algae store phosphorus, allowing them to expand and darken ice surfaces, reducing ...

The cloud cover isn't what it used to be, and scientists say it is helping fuel Earth's hottest temperatures on record.

T he world currently has less sea ice than ever before according to a new analysis, with both the Arctic and Antarctic ...

The key finding: Earth's albedo was the lowest since 1940, and that contributed about 0.2 degrees Celsius to record heat in ...

the albedo number can fall to as low as 0.4 or even 0.2, meaning the reflectivity decreases. Albedo also plays a role in the summer. Darker surfaces absorb light instead of reflecting it.

The world currently has less sea ice than ever before according to a new analysis, with both the Arctic and Antarctic experiencing unusually warm temperatures. This has led to a massive melt in ...

After dangerously low temperatures this week, the high today is expected to reach 25° continuing the trajectory into the ...
