Ein überaus heißer und trockener Sommer wie in diesem Jahr kann künftig normal sein. Das zumindest sagt die Klimaforschung. Die Frage ist nur: Wie sieht dann künftig ein Jahrhundertsommer aus? Von Flo...

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...

For the first time since records began, there was no rain at all for parts of southern England and Wales in July, in a “truly exceptional” month of heat and sunshine

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

The authors use a physiological approach, finding recent extreme heat events had deadly heat stress conditions, particularly for fully exposed older people. Conditions were well below wet-bulb tempera...

A more technical diversion back to 2013

Beaver-induced hydrological change turned wetland into a net carbon sink with an approximate carbon storage of 100 tons per year, according to a comprehensive carbon budget analysis from a beaver wetl...

Interactive global climate monitoring with interactive visualisations of air temperature and sea surface temperature from the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S).

Abstract. Parties to the 2015 Paris Agreement agreed to limit the long-term increase in global average temperature to well below 2 °C and pursue efforts to keep temperatures below 1.5 °C relative to p...

Abstract. Rising summer temperatures and more frequent heat extremes are well-documented outcomes of anthropogenic climate change. However, the extent to which atmospheric circulation changes contribu...
