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

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 ...

Current global climate models (GCMs) support with high confidence the view that rising greenhouse gases and other anthropogenic forcings account for nearly all observed global surface warming—slightly ...

A new perspective highlights why plant traits should be built into photosynthetic efficiency models to improve estimates of global vegetation productivity. Instead of relying mainly on climate ...

A new open-access tool that dramatically speeds up the evaluation of climate models has been launched by an international team of scientists. The Rapid Evaluation Framework (REF) allows researchers to ...

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 ...

Climate models reveal that certain 3.6°F warming scenarios can produce more severe impacts than average projections at higher temperatures.

Scientists have long warned that the planet is warming. Now, new research suggests it may be warming faster than previously understood. A study published in the journal Geophysical Research Letters ...

New research suggests devastating climate outcomes that are typically associated with extreme global warming could hit even ...

Rapid attribution reports generate good headlines and play into the narrative that anthropogenic climate change causes everything bad, ...
