Detection and Attribution of Anthropogenic Climate Change Impacts

Published:March 2013

Author(s):Cynthia Rosenzweig, and Peter Neofotis

Publisher:WIREs Climate Change

This paper argues that the expansion of methods of detection is key to discerning the climate sensitivities of sectors and systems in regions where the impacts of climate change currently remain elusive. Read More →

This report considers new evidence of climate change based on many independent scientific analyses from observations of the climate system, paleoclimate archives, theoretical studies of climate processes and simulations using climate models. Read More →

Patterns of change: whose fingerprint is seen in global warming?

Published:December 2012

Author(s):Gabriele Hegerl, Francis Zwiers, Claudia Tebaldi

This letter communicates the physical science basis of climate change attribution research, and discusses the statistical methods applied to explore the extent to which different possible causes can be used to explain the recent climate records.Read More →

Patterns of Change: Whose Fingerprint Is Seen in Global Warming?

Published:December 2011

Author(s):Gabriele Hegerl, Francis Zwiers, Claudia Tebaldi

Publisher:Environmental Research Letters

This article explores the physical arguments used in climate change attribution, and the statistical methods applied to explore the extent of attribution in recent climate records. Read More →

Estimating the climate impact of linear contrails using the UK Met Office climate model

Published:October 2010

Author(s):Alexandru Rap, Piers Forester, James Haywood, Andy Jones, and Olivier Boucher

Publisher:Geophysical Research Letters

This peer-reviewed study uses a climate model to assess the impacts of linear contrails on global temperature and precipitation. The study finds that contrails have a slight warming impact, and tend to shift precipitation patterns northward.Read More →

Attributing Physical and Biological Impacts to Anthropogenic Climate Change

Publisher:Nature

This article concludes that anthropogenic climate change is having a significant impact on physical and biological systems globally and in some continents.Read More →

Integrated Model Shows that Atmospheric Brown Clouds and Greenhouse Gases Have Reduced Rice Harvests in India

Published:December 2006

Author(s):Maximilian Auffhammer, V. Ramanathan, Jeffrey R. Vincent

Publisher:Proceedings of the National Academy of the Sciences of the United States of America

This study suggests that adverse climate changes due to brown clouds and greenhouse gases contributed to the slowdown in harvest growth that occurred during the past two decades.Read More →

Detection of Human Influence on Sea-level Pressure

Published:March 2003

Author(s):Nathan P. Gillett, Francis W. Zwiers, Andrew J. Weaver & Peter A. Stott

Publisher:Nature

This study found increases in sea-level pressure due to human activity and observed that climate models underestimate the magnitude of the sea-level pressure response, leading to an underestimation of the climate impacts on the European climate. Read More →

Climatic Change: Are We on the Brink of a Pronounced Global Warming?

Published:August 1975

Author(s):Wallace S. Broecker

Publisher:Science

This article presents an early (mid-1970s) perspective that the planet is on the brink of a prolonged period of global warming, and that complacency is not an option. Read More →
