Weather, climate variability, and extreme environmental conditions can influence when, where, and how people go about their daily behaviors. Heat, rainfall, ...

Variations in solar output on timescales from days to centuries exert a measurable influence on Earth’s climate system through changes in radiative forcing, atmospheric chemistry and circulation. The ...

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 ...

Monsoon systems represent one of the most prominent modes of seasonal climate variability, characterised by a pronounced reversal of prevailing winds and associated precipitation changes. These ...

A new Murdoch University study has found that cold-blooded animals (ectotherms) are unable to adjust physiologically to daily temperature fluctuations, a limitation that could leave them increasingly ...

One of the most pervasive misunderstandings of climate — even among some who publish on climate — is the belief that any long-term trend in a measured climate variable indicates a change in climate, ...

As climate change accelerates, its impacts are being felt most acutely by those who have contributed the least to the problem: the world’s poorest and most marginalized people. A recent report by the ...

Real-time tools, visuals, and other resources to quantify the role of climate change in weather events. Alerts We issues alerts in many instances when the Climate Shift Index identifies a notable ...

Climate change is colliding with land use practices, deforestation and biodiversity loss to drive a rapidly growing threat of crop pests. Future warming of 2° Celsius (3.6° Fahrenheit) above ...

Climate change solutions are increasingly shaped by green technology and sustainable technology that are helping reduce emissions while keeping modern systems efficient. Across industries, renewable ...
