Evidence is mounting that, as the climate warms, the amount of rain falling in heavy storms is increasing, especially in the central and eastern US.
Counter to what you might expect, events like the February cold wave that froze Texas can actually become more likely with global warming.
A new attribution study finds human-caused climate change made Europe’s July floods more likely. What about Tennessee’s flooding? An atmospheric scientist explains how scientists make the connection.
Not all forests respond to hotter and drier conditions in the same way.
We need specific action now to make net zero emissions by 2050 possible.
Water-related hazards are exceptionally destructive, and the impact of climate change on extreme water-related events is increasingly evident, a lead author of the new report warns.
Australia may warm by 4°C or more this century, the IPCC has found. As these IPCC authors explain, there is no going back from some changes in the climate system.
Scientists tend to study heatwaves and floods as discrete events – but this overlooks the crucial connections between them.
Heat endurance specialists have warned for years that temperatures at Tokyo 2020 events would be extreme. Should future Summer Olympics become the Autumn Games?
Globally, the temperature changed by half a degree Celsius, but it dramatically altered the likelihood of extreme local weather.
The water cycle is intensifying as the world warms, bringing heavier downpours and longer droughts.
Not every extreme weather event is caused by climate change, but heat waves that were once ridiculously improbable are showing up more often. Just ask Portland.
Catastrophic floods in north-western Europe have shown how badly early warning systems can fail.
The growing frequency of climate extremes affected human health and caused wide-scale damages to the ecosystems that people depend upon, including agriculture, fisheries and freshwater.
The way we build our cities is adversely affecting our health, and, in particular, our hearts. Thinking of urban planners as health professionals could change that
Scientists used artificial neural networks to analyze precipitation records. They found evidence of human activities influencing extreme rainfall or snowfall around the world.
Rain near Japan triggered a heat wave in North America. To know our future, we have a lot to learn about what drives extreme weather.
The world’s nuclear power plants are on the frontline of climate change – and not in a good way.
Mitigating climate change is more politically popular than adapting to its inevitable effects.
