Basic circulation model indicates that increasing global wind power by 18-34 times from 1 Terawatt today will be like doubling atmospheric CO2. This would be counter to the stated goals of reducing ...

An international team of scientists found that volcanic eruptions can cause the Pacific Walker Circulation to temporarily weaken, inducing El Niño-like conditions. The results provide important ...

Scientists may have to rethink the relationship between the ocean's circulation and its long-term capacity to store carbon, new research suggests. As the ocean gets weaker, it could release more ...
