Climatologists say a particularly powerful weather pattern could amplify wildfire risk, heatwaves and flooding worldwide as global temperatures continue to rise

Patrick Pester is the trending news writer at Live Science. His work has appeared on other science websites, such as BBC Science Focus and Scientific American. Patrick retrained as a journalist after spending his early career working in zoos and wildlife conservation. He was awarded the Master's Excellence Scholarship to study at Cardiff University where he completed a master's degree in international journalism. He also has a second master's degree in biodiversity, evolution and conservation in action from Middlesex University London. When he isn't writing news, Patrick investigates the sale of human remains.

Exclusive: Commission says alert would trigger coordinated international response that could help avoid millions dying. The climate crisis should be declared a global public health emergency by the World Health Organization, or millions more people will die unnecessarily, leading international experts have said. The independent pan-European commission on climate and health, which was convened by the WHO, concluded the climate crisis was such a worldwide threat to health that the WHO should declare it “a public health emergency of international concern” (Pheic).

Scenarios serve as a critical tool in climate change analysis, enabling the exploration of future evolution of the climate system, climate impacts, and the human system (including mitigation and adaptation actions). This paper describes the scenario framework for ScenarioMIP as part of CMIP7. The design process has involved various rounds of interaction with the research community and user groups at large. The proposal covers a set of scenarios exploring high levels of climate change (to explore high-end climate risks), medium levels of climate change (anchored to current policy), and low levels of climate change (aligned with current international agreements). These scenarios follow very different trajectories in terms of emissions, with some likely to experience peaks and subsequent declines in greenhouse gas concentrations in this century. An important innovation is that most scenarios are intended to be run, if possible, in emission-driven mode, providing a better representation of the Earth system uncert

Investment firms have put over $100 million into developing risky technologies that could cool the planet with unknown side effects.

Op 29 april publiceerden de Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) en de Wereld Meteorologische Organisatie (WMO) hun jaarlijkse rapport “European State of the Climate 2025”. Deze gedetailleerde analyse van het Europese klimaat omvat een brede waaier aan klimaatvariabelen, van de jaarlijkse temperatuur, hitte- en koudestress tot zonneschijnduur en bewolking, van bosbranden tot gletsjers en nog veel meer.

Vous êtes formateur ou formatrice et souhaitez aborder le sujet des modèles climatiques lors d’une formation ? Modéliser le climat dans votre classe est une ressource de formation professionnelle conçue pour aider les enseignants à comprendre comment les modèles climatiques sont construits, comment ils fonctionnent et comment ils permettent d’analyser le changement climatique, les projections futures et les enjeux climatiques en milieu urbain.

A climate monster is growing right now in the Pacific Ocean, perhaps the most fearsome El Niño since before scientists even began modeling them. They now know the pattern quite well: A marine heat-wave in the Pacific Ocean scrambles global weather and produces in some places more intense droughts and in others more intense rainfall and flooding; disruptions to hurricane patterns and monsoon seasons, which can cause widespread crop failures; and much more punishing heat.

We work to ensure that carbon pricing and other climate policies cut pollution and drive a just transition towards zero-carbon societies.
