Something unexpected happened in the climate science community over the past two years. While global temperatures soared to unprecedented levels in 2023 and 2024, researchers found themselves unable ...

High-sensitivity climate models should not be excluded when predicting future regional climate impacts because the level of warming measured globally is not always the only good indicator of regional ...

Climate is the average state of the atmosphere and the underlying land or water, on time scales of seasons and longer. Climate is typically described by the statistics of a set of atmospheric and ...

At the end of the 19th century Svante Arrhenius, a Swedish chemist, made one of the first concerted attempts to work out the relationship between Earth’s average temperature and the amount of carbon ...

Atmospheric aerosols from human activity influence climate. Uncertainties in the understanding of their effects limit our knowledge about climate change. Aa Aa Aa What is the source and composition of ...

How do you measure climate change? One way is by recording temperatures in different places over a long period of time. While this works well, natural variation can make it harder to see longer-term ...

Global heating over this millennium could exceed previous estimates due to carbon cycle feedback loops. This is the conclusion of a new study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) ...

Pollinators, including bees, butterflies, and beetles, shape global food production and support vast natural ecosystems. For years, efforts to protect these critical species have leaned on broad ...

Over the past four years, the Biden Administration relied extensively on integrated assessment models (IAMs) to quantify the economic effects of carbon-dioxide emissions via a construct known as the ...

A new study shows how climate and light conditions interaction affect the early growth in abarco, a highly valued tropical ...

Women are leading in building climate resilience with AI and data, despite not being included in climate research and ...
