The UK is no stranger to drought – especially southern England.
Extreme downpours caught people off guard from Las Vegas to Kentucky in July 2022.
Rising temperatures — and inflation — are increasing household energy bills. Many Canadians are struggling to meet their basic energy needs.
Extreme downpours brought deadly flooding to the Appalachian region, just a few weeks after the destructive Yellowstone River flood.
Heat domes are a dangerous part of summer weather.
Lismore’s residents and businesses on the floodplain need to look at relocation, not rebuilding.
Rising populations and a warming climate mean storm surges from super cyclones are likely to affect increasing numbers of vulnerable people.
Disaster victims in Australia can wait months or years for insurance payouts – or can’t afford the premiums at all. As climate change worsens, we need a radical rethink.
Flood clusters are not unknown - but what’s new about the floods hitting Lismore is the unprecented height.
The Murdoch outlets said they would pursue ‘positive stories’ on climate change. An analysis of stories during the recent floods, however, shows this wasn’t necessarily the case.
Studies show tornadoes are getting more common and more intense, and they’re shifting eastward to a new tornado hot spot.
New Zealand can expect more days above 25℃, the threshold for heat stress in livestock, and fewer frost days, which will affect crops like kiwifruit that need winter chilling.
From melting glaciers to mounting storms, the impacts of climate change are global – but they’re not equally shared.
We are no longer in typical conditions. Climate change is already damaging human and natural systems we hold dear in Australia.
