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, ...

While global warming is still a threat, the decision to back away from a worst-case outlook raises questions about whether ...

Climate models are complex, just like the world they mirror. They simultaneously simulate the interacting, chaotic flow of Earth’s atmosphere and oceans, and they run on the world’s largest ...

Extreme climate impacts on people and the environment are often associated with very high levels of global warming (3 or 4°C). A new study led by the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) ...

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 ...

Since the 1960s, scientists have been developing and honing models to understand how the earth’s climate is changing. These models help predict the phenomena that accompany that change, such as ...

Even if you live far from the boreal forests in Canada and Siberia, you've likely noticed an increase in smoke from their forest fires. During major blazes in 2023, the smoke tinted the New York sky ...

New research has revealed that East Antarctica’s vast and icy interior is heating up faster than its coasts, fueled by warm air carried from the Southern Indian Ocean. Using 30 years of weather ...

Dangerous weather events typically associated with extreme global warming could become more frequent even under moderate levels of heating, a new study finds. Deadly floods in cities and catastrophic ...
