A supercomputer spent six months projecting localised rainfall extremes decades into the future.
The Pacific Ocean climate pattern is the opposite of El Niño.
Evidence in Earth’s natural archives, from tree rings to seafloor sediments, points to one trend. Some climate models suggest another.
We’re rarely aware of a company’s full environmental footprint.
Atmospheric rivers can melt fragile new sea ice. When these storms arrive in waves, the sea ice doesn’t have a chance to recover.
Mountaineer and scientist Will Steffen said climbing was similar to science: “That’s the buzz you get in science when you solve a big problem and suddenly see how it all fits together”
A new image has been taken of the whole Earth 50 years after the first - revealing noticeable changes to its surface.
A look back at hurricane history suggests we may be significantly underestimating future risks.
High intensity rain has actually increased, which is topping up underground water stores.
Switzerland’s glaciers just lost 6% of their ice in a single year.
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.
