A Fundamental Check on Climate Projections In the global effort to combat climate change, accurately estimating how much carbon our planet's forests, soils, and grasslands can absorb is critical.

The lifetime of nitrous oxide is decreasing more quickly than expected, which is changing climate projections.

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 ...

Earth system models (ESMs) integrate the interactions of atmosphere, ocean, land, ice, and biosphere to estimate the state of regional and global climate under a wide variety of conditions. A model ...

For decades, scientists have meticulously tracked and modeled Earth's climate, building an increasingly detailed picture of global warming. Yet, the complex dance of atmospheric gases, ocean currents, ...

The world's oceans may be quietly amplifying climate change in ways scientists are only beginning to understand. In a new ...

The fight against climate change is ongoing, and while we're still a long way from finding an actually sustainable solution, researchers at Yale say that imperfect climate models may actually be far ...

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 ...

For decades, turbulence was treated as a known nuisance—unpredictable, occasionally dangerous, but broadly manageable within ...

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

Climate change is already shaping our well-being. It affects mental health, spreads infectious diseases, disrupts work, damages food supplies and forces families to leave their homes because of ...

A Siberian town registered the highest temperature ever recorded in the Arctic Circle this week – 100 degrees Fahrenheit. While warm summers are typical in the Arctic, recent months have been ...
