World leaders need to urgently accelerate efforts to prevent “profound, if not catastrophic” climate change in future, a distinguished group of scientists has warned. According to their new study published…
The impact of a changing climate on the severity of flooding has been demonstrated in the largest-scale study of its kind – with parts of northern Britain seeing the largest…
The evidence of the climate crisis is now undeniable. But state responses to climate change often have social and political motivations, rather than addressing the realities of this threat. Since…
June was hot. Really hot. That much we knew. What we didn’t know was just how hot it was – not just in parts of Europe, but around the world.…
New study finds that how our community or neighborhood fares in an extreme storm or flood may have a stronger, more lasting effect on climate beliefs than individual losses do.…
A new review of glacier research data paints a picture of a future planet with a lot less ice and a lot more water. Glaciers worldwide are projected to lose…
Scientists say global sea level rise could far exceed predictions because of faster melting in Greenland and Antarctica, reports Alex Kirby for Climate News Network. LONDON, 22 May, 2019 −…
Polar change, notably the fast Arctic melt, could impose huge costs on world economies. New evidence shows how rapidly the frozen north is changing, reports Tim Radford for Climate News…
Climate change is bringing more weather extremes, and Zimbabwe this year is suffering from opposite crises at once: floods and drought HARARE, April 7 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – As eastern…
Geneva, 6 February 2019: In a clear sign of continuing long-term climate change associated with record atmospheric concentrations of greenhouse gases, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 have been confirmed as…
The weather these days is wild and will be wilder still within a century. In part, because the water from melting ice sheets off Greenland and in the Antarctic will…
The ocean waves are now hitting harder than ever. As the world warms, they gain in energy, impact and height. LONDON, 23 January, 2019 – As the world’s seas warm,…
North and south, polar ice loss is happening faster than ever. Researchers now have a measure of the accelerating flow into the ocean, writes Tim Radford for Climate News Network.…
Warmer oceans mean higher tides, bigger storm surges and heavier rainstorms. With ocean temperatures rising ever faster, sea levels 30 cms higher are possible by 2100. LONDON, 14 January, 2019…
If warming rises more than 2°C above pre-industrial levels and no adequate adaptation measures are implemented, Europe is in danger of being exposed to more frequent and intense extreme weather…
LONDON, Oct 8 (Thomson Reuters Foundation) – Last-ditch efforts to hold climate change to the most ambitious target set by governments will likely require using every available technique rather than…
