The findings of a new study suggest mistrust in climate science and uncritical faith in “alternative science” lead people to reject consensus science and generate alternative explanations.
The place where oceans turn into ice holds the key to understanding some of the complex interactions of Earth’s climate. Thankfully, we’re making progress.
A project to transcribe Dutch colonial records of the weather in Cape Town can benefit modelling of future climate scenarios and assist in forecasting weather now.
There are three key ways climate change probably made these floods worse.
The tropics are projected to face almost daily dangerous heat by 2100. And “extremely dangerous” heat that’s almost unheard of today will occur more often in several regions.
Flood risks are rising as the climate warms. The risks are complex, as a levee or new roadway in one place can worsen flooding somewhere else.
Here are two possible forms of regional geoengineering.
But new research offers some hope if we are able to keep climate change under control.
The Earth has had at least five major ice ages, and humans showed up in time for the most recent one. In fact, we’re still in it.
Global warming is changing the high-altitude autumn winds over southeast Australia, which means less rain and trouble for air travel.
One weather configuration has been responsible for record-breaking downpours in Australia, South America, and South Africa this year.
Even some climate change scientists who sit on the IPCC think the organisation needs a rethink.
When bad weather stops moving, the outlook can get dire for the areas in its path.
An author of the report explains the damaging effects climate change is already having and why adaptation is essential.
Spoiler: lots more floods.
Climate models from the 1970s and 80s stand up incredibly well when compared with actual warming trends.
This increases the risk of disastrous flash flooding in the region’s coastal cities.
Scientists experience diverse, complex, and often contrasting emotions about the fate of the planet.
We simulated the desert planet to find out.
