Ein Regierungs-Entwurf schließt Klimaklagen aus. Klimaschutzanwältin Michaela Krömer hält das für verfassungswidrig

Rare heat summers today (with ≈ 100-year return period) show a different evolution of sub-seasonal temperatures than similarly rare summers in pre-industrial climate. Faster drying of soils in cu...

Nature Ecology & Evolution - Citizen science platforms must mitigate against the threat of generative AI

Here the authors show that a common interpretation of the Paris Agreement’s ‘well below 2° C’ target is changing with time, which could lead to higher overall warming. They propose that using median t...

If the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation shut down, the knock-on effects could release hundreds of billions of tonnes of CO2, raising global temperatures even further

We're proud to see Jared Lewis in Japan last week helping launch something the climate community has been talking about for years. The #RapidEvaluationFramework (REF) is now live, built to track how c...

On this day, December 24 in, 1968 the Earthrise photo showed our pale blue dot for what it is. [The amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere was 323ppm. At time of writing it was 419ishppm- but for ...

It is important to understand how much long-term sea-level rise is already committed due to historical and near-term emissions. Here the authors use a modelling framework to show how decisions on glob...

The first-ever international conference on the contentious topic of “overshoot” was held last week in...

Causal pathway from AMOC to Southern Amazon rainforest indicates stabilising interaction between two climate tipping elements, Högner, Annika, Di Capua, Giorgia, Donges, Jonathan F, Donner, Reik V, Feulner, Georg, Wunderling, Nico
