Climate models are complicated - and necessarily so if they are to recreate our complex world. But a new, simpler climate model aims to take some of the mystery out of the art of climate modelling.

Over the past five years we’ve seen a significant increase in research on ocean acidification and warming seas, and their effect on marine life. Overall, unfortunately, the news is not good.
People rate the risks of global threats to humanity surprisingly high. We need to understand the impacts of a loss of faith in notions of material progress and scientific and technological fixes.
A technology designed to reduce the effect of fossil fuels on the climate has received £1 bln in subsidies and has nothing to show for it.
Sustainable energy is crucial for smaller African cities which are generally overlooked. These cities receive much less research and funding focus.
Obama’s trips to vastly different areas – New Orleans and Alaska – laid bare the rising costs of adapting to climate change, now and in the future.
Africa’s savannas provide high potential for farming development but this needs to be done in a smart manner to not worsen climate change.
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.
Controversial campaigner for climate change trivialisation Bjorn Lomborg is getting closer to learning his fate in Australia.
Scientists are studying how carbon-rich permafrost known as yedoma acts much like frozen vegetables to hungry microbes – and is becoming an additional source of heat-trapping gases.
After barely two weeks in office, the direction the Turnbull government is likely to take on climate is beginning to emerge. Remembering that Malcolm Turnbull would not have had the numbers for a spill…
For the sake of mitigating climate change, the African continent needs to make low carbon energy choices.
If we can convince people that climate change is real and important, then surely they will act: this intuitive idea underlies many efforts to communicate climate change to the public. But it may not be the best way.
China is pouring money into clean energy - not just to tackle climate change but because these are economically fruitful industries. And as China develops them, the technologies will get cheaper for everyone.
In a world full of catastrophe, what good are books? Specifically, can books be written to do good?
Global leaders are signing up to an ambitious agenda in New York.
The key drivers for energy in the 21st century are managing climate change, shifting community concerns, and radical technology change.
Why the culture of a company is so important for combatting climate change and how this needs courageous leadership from the top.
Global warming is, by definition, experienced worldwide. But a new study shows that the tropics were the first places on earth where the human effect on climate outstripped normal climate variations.
A summit between officials from the US and China on climate change underscores the crucial role cities need to play in meeting national carbon-emission goals.
