Non-native species tend to be better at exploiting the disturbance caused by storms, fires or droughts.
Sea-level rises and storm surges don’t discriminate, but societal structures do.
Storm Ciarán unleashed extremely strong and destructive winds in parts of the southern UK and northern France – here’s why.
A deadly hurricane developed in just 12 hours.
The storm came from an unusual direction and dumped exceptional amounts of rain along the east coast.
Our study shows the UK must prepare for, and respond to, the risks associated with future food shortages.
Global efforts to cut emissions fall well short of what’s needed to avoid dangerous warming. It’s becoming essential to develop carbon-removal strategies to get to net zero.
There’s a rule of thumb that rainfall intensity increases by about 7% per degree Celsius as temperatures rise. But the increase is much higher in the mountains, scientists found.
The northern summer was marked by intense fires and heat. Now it’s our turn to face the heat.
What makes a great climate leader and why are we not seeing more of them? I’ve been searching for good examples of climate leaders. This is the subject of our new documentary, Climate Changers.
As the atmosphere warms, it can hold more moisture. This brings more intense downpours but also accelerates warming – because water vapour is a powerful greenhouse gas.
There’s nothing normal about the blast furnace heat much of the world has been experiencing, as an atmospheric scientist explains.
We all know climate change makes extreme weather more likely. But it’s also loading the dice for quick-forming drought, sudden and intense rainfall and fast-forming tropical storms.
Public interest in climate change and global warming peaks after bushfires and lasts for months, research reveals. But Australians do not respond to storms and floods in the same way.
A lack of weather radar stations means Africa is being hit hard by extreme weather events.
Forecasters warned of ‘potentially historic rainfall’ and ‘dangerous to locally catastrophic flooding.’ A hurricane scientist explains what El Niño, a heat dome and mountains have to do with the risk.
As extreme weather events increase in frequency and severity, many Canadians are still unaware of how to prepare for a natural disaster.
It may soon be possible to reduce cyclone formation and intensity by spraying particles into the atmosphere above a forming storm. But the technology opens up a can of worms
Exploring the potential intersections between climate change and violence against children is crucial.
