As the climate changes and weather warms, the freezing line is shifting, bringing rain to many regions more accustomed to snow.
Land subsidence is a factor as preparations are made for rising sea levels and strengthening storms. Human infrastructure, including buildings and groundwater extraction, increases vulnerabilities.
How’s the humidity? Australia’s east coast has been hit by intense humidity this summer. Here’s why – and why it’s a risk
The Doomsday Clock is not a precise risk assessment, it’s a flawed but powerful metaphor for the catastrophic risk humanity faces
