George Bush may not understand the science of climate change. But the corporate houses behind him will soon understand the global benefits of going green. Only this perhaps will trigger a reversal in the White House s stance

A large reservoir of nitrous oxide, a potential greenhouse gas, has been discovered near India s west coast

the ozone layer over Antarctica has depleted severely, according to the World Meteorological Organisation ( wmo ), a un agency. "The latest satellite observations in the sunlight

Scientists have discovered a new greenhouse gas, which is thousands of times more effective in trapping heat as compared to carbon dioxide

Scientists and researchers try to figure out ways to curb rising carbon dioxide levels

Measurements and models show that enhanced aerosol concentrations can augment cloud albedo not only by increasing total droplet cross-sectional area, but also by reducing precipitation and thereby increasing cloud water content and cloud coverage. Aerosol pollution is expected to exert a net cooling influence on the global climate through these conventional mechanisms. Here, we demonstrate an opposite mechanism through which aerosols can reduce

Global warming will impact crop production

Turbulence in the atmosphere is a major problem with Earth-based telescopes. Most modern telescopes take care of this by using adaptive optics, a corrective process in which parts of the telescope

The upper layers of the atmosphere are getting cooler, and ironically, the greenhouse effect is being blamed. The Mesosphere, the atmospheric layer between 50 to 90 km of the atmosphere, has been
