The world will need to commit to 48% of electricity sources coming from renewable energy by 2035 to meet international climate…
Natural variability alone does not account for observed changes in global (ocean and land) precipitation; rather, those changes…
Atmospheric CO2 concentrations reached record levels last year according to the UN World Meteorological Organisation. The…
Less than 10 % of global warming during the 20th century was due to changes in solar activity, new research has found. It…
Global warming will act as a catalyst for increased aridity and result in an imbalance of soil nutrients and decreased productivity…
Most people saw the warm dry weather from June to September as a welcome, but freak, occurrence. Because, as anyone who invested in floaty dresses, barbecues or expensive sunglasses in previous years will…
We have some idea of what the future may look like under climate change, and now, thanks to new research, we have a better idea of when. The research, published today in Nature, shows that the world’s…
Climate change is often seen as a recent phenomenon, but its roots are actually far older - the effects of human activity on the global climate have been discussed for more than 150 years. In the 1820s…
Global warming is “unequivocal”, according to the fifth IPCC report which, after six years in preparation, delivers a detailed picture of the science behind climate change. In the strongest language yet…
Arctic sea ice extent has dropped to a seasonal low and the sixth lowest level since the beginning of its 35-year satellite…
On September 27 2013 the 5th Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will be released. One part of this report will address the so-called “warming hiatus”. This is the…
Warmer climates are shrinking Tibetan glaciers at their summits, researchers have discovered. A study has shown that the…
The climate changes observed today are undoubtedly not caused by the sun or any other natural factors says new research…
Gorgonian corals, described by some scientists as the animal forests of the ocean, seem to be proliferating in the Caribbean…
The cooling of eastern Pacific Ocean waters has been counteracting the warming effect of greenhouse gases. Our research, released today in Nature, shows this natural variability in ocean cycles is responsible…
Different moorland plants, particularly heather and cotton grass, can strongly influence climate warming effects on greenhouse…
Recent global climate models (GCMs) indicate large uncertainty as to whether the recent wetting trend in most of the Pilbara…
A review of research data from almost 400 scientists in 52 countries has concluded that policy makers need to adapt to “the new normal” of rising world temperatures and the changes they bring. The US National…
Global warming is primarily driven by increasing emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities. Chief among these gases is carbon dioxide (CO2), which warms the planet by trapping heat that would…
