A recent analysis of the latest generation of climate models — known as a CMIP6 — provides a cautionary tale on interpreting climate simulations as…
Without efforts to mitigate climate change, summers spanning nearly six months may become the new normal by 2100 in the Northern Hemisphere, according to a…
Volcanic eruptions, not natural variability, were the cause of an apparent “Atlantic Multidecadal Oscillation,” a purported cycle of warming thought to have occurred on a…
New research has shown that carbon in feces, respiration, and other excretions from fishes make up about 16% of the total carbon that sinks below…
It’s clear that rising greenhouse gas emissions are the main driver of global warming. But on a regional level, several other factors are at play….
Why businesses need the climate-equivalent of a ‘weather service.’ The findings are published in the prestigious journal, Nature Climate Change, and calls on businesses, the financial…
Marine Heatwaves Becoming More Intense, More Frequent When thick, the surface layer of the ocean acts as a buffer to extreme marine heating—but a new…
It’s official: 2020 ranks as the second-hottest year on record for the planet, knocking 2019 down to third hottest, according to an analysis by NOAA…
