New research has uncovered a feedback loop that may be accelerating the melting of the floating portions of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, pushing up global sea levels.

This article covers the ongoing enigma at the heart of the Pacific of confounding predictability of climate extremes at seasonal and longer timescales.

According to a new report by the International Labour Organization (ILO), more than 70 per cent of the global workforce are likely to be exposed to climate-change-related health hazards.

Research based on an analysis of November 2023’s Storm Ciaran suggests weather forecasts that use machine learning can produce predictions of similar accuracy to traditional forecasts faster, cheaper, and using less computational power.

As a massive heat dome lingered over the Pacific Northwest three years ago, swaths of North America simmered — and then burned. Wildfires charred more than 18.5 million acres across the continent, with the most land burned in Canada and California.

By 2050, climate change will place immense strain on global healthcare systems, causing 14.5 million deaths and $12.5 trillion in economic losses.

Analysis of two decades of mooring observations and hydrographic data suggest the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation deep water limb in the North Atlantic has weakened.

Wildfires often spew plumes of toxic smoke, eroding decades of improvements in air quality. A new paper by Sally Picciotto at UC Berkeley School of Public Health analyses how the impact of wildfire smoke can have on human health and pregnancy.
