Warming global temperatures are increasing evaporation of moisture from soil and vegetation during the summer. This has impacts for gardening, agriculture and fire risk. Read more about it in our latest study wasitus.ie/events/warmi...

Check out WWAs new study concerning how sea surface temperatures are rising around Europe. It was a great experience for WASITUS scientists to help lead this study. We must see a global push to reduce fossil fuel emissions if we want to protect our seas. Study: spiral.imperial.ac.uk/entities/pub...

Fossil Fuels Are Heating America’s 250th Birthday As America gears up to celebrate the anniversary of its independence, @wwattribution.bsky.social finds that the heat impacting the east of the country, as well as parts of Canada, would have been 'virtually impossible' without climate change🧵

This European heatwave is more than a few nice days in Ireland. It is a reminder that the world is experiencing more extreme and deadly weather because humans continue to rely on fossil fuels. We were grateful to be able to co-author this new report with very stark results

The world has warmed by around 1.4C since 1850. It took 148 years for the first half of that warming to occur, and just 27 years for the second half!

Our first retrospective study on SUMMER 2018 has been released (check the link below!). Key findings: high temperatures experienced during June and July have become warmer and more frequent due to anthropogenic climate change, however, the climate change influence on low precipitation is less clear.

🚨 NEW STUDY: As Australia prepares for another heatwave, our latest study found the early January heatwave which hit SE Australia was made 5x more likely due to climate change. What was once a relatively rare 1-in-25-year event is now expected about every 5 years. 🧵 1/6

"Climate change turned a would-be average Irish summer into a record breaker" - This was largely due to the high night-time temperatures which are 40 times more likely due to human-caused climate change. See our full report at mural.maynoothuniversity.ie/id/eprint/20...
