Could sea levels really rise by several metres this century. Probably not, although this century’s greenhouse emissions could potentially set the stage for large rises in centuries to come.

Methane is a stronger greenhouse gas than carbon dioxide, and Australia’s coal mines are a major source.
The Paris agreement has given us some solid targets to aim for in terms of limiting global warming. But that in turn begs a whole range of new scientific questions.
The Urban Heat Island is an inevitable outcome of urbanisation – but as the Earth gets warmer, that’s cause for concern.
Geoengineering could help regions affected by climate change deal with the problem.
Thanks to El Niño and climate change, last year broke temperature records – and reduces any importance attached to the global warming ‘hiatus.’
Rising temperatures affect people living in the developing world differently to those living in Europe and North America.
Iron and nutrients from Antarctica’s bedrock are carried into the oceans – nourishing entire food webs.
The third-ever ‘super’ El Niño is under way. Here’s how it will affect your region in the US and how global warming affects this and future El Niños.
The inclusion of a 1.5°C goal in the Paris climate deal might have surprised some observers. But in reality, the diplomatic groundwork was laid years before.
The United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change finally came to an agreement. Here are the key points.
1.5 or 2 degrees? What matters is how we get there.
A majority of countries want visionary action rather than pragmatism at the Paris climate talks, says the International Institute for Environment and Development’s Saleemul Huq.
At yesterday’s COP21 science briefing, University of Reading climate scientist Ed Hawkins displayed a chilling (pun intended) colour-coded world map. Nation by nation, it showed which countries are already…
There’s no agreed definition, no agreed starting point – and no data to back it up.
South Africa has been experiencing odd weather patterns during the month of November. It can be attributed to three culprits.
False complacency: Hurricane Patricia didn’t devastate Mexico as feared, but provides more evidence that warming waters raise the chances of more intense storms.
Temperatures are set to rocket throughout the 21st century, but design lessons from history could help the gulf states stay cool.
We know the warming seas are forcing some marine life to new waters, but we don’t know much about how fast and how far they are moving. But now you can help scientists find the answers with Redmap.
For the sake of mitigating climate change, the African continent needs to make low carbon energy choices.
