Car tailpipes spew out molecules of ammonia, a harmful air pollutant that can lead to thousands of premature deaths every year. New research shows that vehicles may produce a lot more of these emissions than federal and state regulators have believed.
The 26th United Nations Climate Change Conference of the Parties recently came to an end, and participants came away with the Glasgow Climate Pact––a rulebook for complying with the 2015 Paris Agreement. Leaders must now follow through.
A new study out of the Leeds School of Business shows that small businesses focused on climate-friendly goods and services may be more effective at addressing climate change because they can bridge the political divide by offering climate solutions.
A new CIRES-led study shows that ocean temperatures, not ice sheets themselves, were directly responsible for the southward shift in West Coast precipitation patterns during the last Ice Age.
Associate Professor Wil Srubar has co-authored a new report through the Carbon Leadership Forum examining the potential for meaningful climate impact through building materials that serve as carbon sinks.
Life isn't always easy for small primates in the Soutpansberg Mountains of South Africa––foraging for food, contending with cold temperatures and fighting off rivals. A new study explores how they may weather the environmental changes ahead.
As world leaders assemble at COP26, over 30 celebrities, including Leonardo DiCaprio, Quincy Jones and Cher, launched a social campaign aiming to mobilize over 650 million followers to push for action. CU Boulder with United Nations Human Rights will host the Right Here, Right Now Global Climate Summit in 2022.
Average temperatures in high-altitude areas have risen twice as fast as the global average, causing more river runoff and sediment flux, and the trend could get worse, scientists have found.
Thousands are now gathered for what is known as COP26, a significant international conference on climate change. Countries must decide how they will act to limit global warming to no more than 3.6 degrees Fahrenheit above pre-industrial levels.
Recent scientific flights above the Front Range will help scientists and policymakers cut unnecessary emissions, reduce greenhouse gases and help local residents breathe better.
