Even as Earth sets new heat records, humanity this year is pumping 330 million tons (300 million metric tons) more carbon dioxide into the air by burning fossil fuels than it did last year. It’s ...

Real world measurements of how much extra heat the Earth is trapping are well beyond most climate models. That’s a real problem.

Earth Earth’s mantle may have hidden plumes venting heat from its core A ‘ghost plume’ identified deep in the mantle beneath Oman suggests there may be more heat flowing out of Earth’s ...
