Heat waves are getting more dangerous with climate change — and we may still be underestimating them
The intensifying and expansive heat wave affecting around 150 million people in the United States from Wisconsin to Washington, DC, bears the hallmarks of human-caused global warming. Hundreds of ...
It’s been a particularly apocalyptic summer. Relentless, record-shattering heatwaves, untamable wildfires, and deadly floods are just some of the disasters that have made global headlines in the past ...
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 ...
The last 30 years are the fastest warming period since 1880, according to a Washington Post analysis of NASA data. Warning: This graphic requires JavaScript. Please ...
Global warming has accelerated since 2015, according to a new study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). After accounting for known natural influences on global temperature, the ...
The news has been full of headlines about findings from a United Nations report: The world is set to exceed the 1.5°C global warming target set out in the 2015 Paris Agreement. The report has raised ...
Up to now, most analyses of global warming have indicated a fairly steady rise in the average global temperature of about 0.2 degrees Celsius per decade since the 1970s. Recently, however, scientists ...
Scientists have uncovered a missing feedback in Earth’s carbon cycle that could cause global warming to overshoot into an ice age. As the planet warms, nutrient-rich runoff fuels plankton blooms that ...
An acceleration in human-caused global warming could see the Paris Agreement’s 1.5C limit breached before 2030, a new study suggests. The paper, published in Geophysical Research Letters, finds that, ...
