Prolonged Suppression of Ecosystem Carbon Dioxide Uptake After an Anomalously Warm Year
This study suggests that more frequent anomalously warm years, a possible consequence of increasing anthropogenic carbon dioxide levels, may lead to a sustained decrease in carbon dioxide uptake by terrestrial ecosystems.Read More →
Attributing Physical and Biological Impacts to Anthropogenic Climate Change
This article concludes that anthropogenic climate change is having a significant impact on physical and biological systems globally and in some continents.Read More →
From Production-Based to Consumption-Based National Emissions Inventories

Human-Induced Changes in the Hydrology of the Western United States
This report describes a regional, multivariable climate-change detection and attribution study that focuses on the changes that have already affected a primarily arid region with a large and growing population.Read More →
Forcing of Multiyear Extreme Ocean Temperatures that Impacted California Current Living Marine Resources in 2016
Significant impacts on California Current living marine resources in 2016 resulted from sustained extremely high ocean temperatures forced by a confluence of natural drivers and likely exacerbated by anthropogenic warming.Read More →

How Unusual Was Autumn 2006 in Europe?
This study analyzes the record high temperatures in large parts of Europe in the autumn of 2006 and the implications for the accuracy of climate models, which well underestimated the observed mean rise in autumn temperatures. Read More →
IPCC AR4 Climate Change 2007: Synthesis Report
This Synthesis Report is based on the assessment carried out by the three Working Groups (WGs) of the IPCC and provides an integrated view of climate change as the final part of the IPCC’s Fourth Assessment Report (AR4). Read More →
Differentiating (Historic) Responsibilities for Climate Change
The report recognizes two distinct kinds of responsibility--strict (or unlimited) responsibility, and limited responsibility--which are based on cumulative historic emissions of the greenhouse gases CO2, CH4 and N2O. Read More →
