Scientists have mapped how Earth’s deepest mantle is being deformed—and the results point to long-lost tectonic plates buried thousands of kilometers underground. Using a massive global dataset of seismic waves, they found that most deformation happens in regions where these ancient slabs are thought to reside. The findings confirm long-standingContinue Reading

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas that is second only to carbon dioxide in driving up global temperatures. But it doesn’t linger in the atmosphere for long thanks to molecules called hydroxyl radicals, which are known as the “atmosphere’s detergent” for their ability to break down methane. As the planetContinue Reading
Volcanoes and wildfires can inject millions of tons of gases and aerosol particles into the air, affecting temperatures on a global scale. But picking out the specific impact of individual events against a background of many contributing factors is like listening for one person’s voice from across a crowded concourse. MIT scientistsContinue Reading
A new study finds that the vast majority of climate-related claims made by the meat and dairy industry don’t hold up to scholarly scrutiny. By Georgina Gustin Five years ago, the world’s largest meat company took out a full-page ad in The New York Times, making a bold claim: “Bacon,Continue Reading
