The growth rate of greenhouse gas (GHG) climate forcing increased rapidly in the last 15 years to about 0.5 W/m2 per decade, as shown by the “colorful chart” for GHG climate forcing that we have been publishing for 25 years (Fig. 1).[1] The chart is not in IPCC reports, perhaps because it reveals inconvenient facts. Although growth of GHG climate forcing declined rapidly after the 1987 Montreal Protocol, other opportunities to decrease climate forcing were missed. If policymakers do not appreciate the significance of present data on changing climate forcings, we scientists must share the blame.

Malgré les critiques, les Européens s’apprêtent à ouvrir largement la porte à l’utilisation des crédits carbone dans la réduction de leurs émissions. La Belgique est notamment très demandeuse.

Un système collectif en particulier pourrait incarner une solution intéressante, dans le but de réduire l’impact environnemental de la climatisation. Il s’agit du « réseau de froid urbain », un concept relativement présent dans certains pays, dont la France. Comment fonctionne cette solution et quels en sont les avantages et les inconvénients ?

A new report draws on internal company documents and other public records to comprehensively outline the fossil fuel industry’s decades-long campaign to mislead the public and avoid paying for their products’ harms.

A new study suggests that the Gulf Stream was stronger during the last ice age due to more powerful winds, indicating that future changes in wind patterns could weaken the Gulf Stream, affecting European climate and North American sea levels. This research enhances our understanding of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) and its vulnerability to climate change.

In the UK and around the world, those who challenge rich corporations are being hounded and crushed with ever-more inventive penalties, says Guardian columnist George Monbiot

Link to climate activism is seven times stronger for anger than it is for hope, say Norwegian researchers

Machine learning is producing impressive results, and, for better or worse, researchers are now using it to address the climate crisis, writes Frederick Hewett.

Pink, red, purple, and green algae blooms are growing on glaciers all over the planet. Scientists who study snow and ice algae fear the blooms are a symptom of climate change. Algae blooms can induce ice melt, hastening the catastrophic disappearance of the world's glaciers.
