Extreme climate impacts on people and the environment are often associated with very high levels of global warming (3 or 4°C) ...

As a grueling March heat wave batters the U.S. West with dangerous temperatures, and the world girds itself for what could be another sizzling record-smashing Super El Niño, a team of researchers has ...

Scientists disagree whether human-made climate change or natural fluctuations are mostly to blame for worse-than-expected ...

For decades, scientists have meticulously tracked and modeled Earth's climate, building an increasingly detailed picture of global warming. Yet, the complex dance of atmospheric gases, ocean currents, ...

Severe droughts and intense rainfall, usually seen with higher global warming, may happen even with a 2 degrees Celsius rise. This threatens food production, forests, and cities. Current policies ...

Nadir Jeevanjee works for NOAA's Geophysical Fluid Dynamics Laboratory, which is discussed in this article. The views expressed herein are in no sense official positions of the Geophysical Fluid ...

A new study finds that if global warming exceeds the Paris Climate Agreement targets, the non-polar glacier mass will diminish significantly. However, if warming is limited to 1.5 degrees Celsius, at ...

Global warming has picked up speed in the past decade, according to a new analysis from the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). By removing short term natural influences such as El ...

How the decline in global cloudiness affects the Earth’s “energy imbalance” – the difference between absorbed solar energy and heat radiated into space.

Extreme climate hazards, such as severe drought and intense rainfall that are usually linked with 3 degrees Celsius or 4 degrees Celsius global warming ...
