Holding Fossil Fuel Companies Accountable for their Contribution to Climate Change: Where Does the Law Stand?

Published:October 2018

Author(s):Michael Burger, Jessica Wentz

Publisher:Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists

This article analyzes a San Francisco case that explores the question of whether and to what extent it is possible to legally attribute harmful impacts associated with climate change to specific actors or conduct. Read More →

Marine Heatwaves Under Global Warming

Published:August 2018

Author(s):Thomas L. Frölicher, Erich M. Fischer, Nicolas Gruber

Publisher:Nature

This report argues that marine heat waves (MHWs) are becoming longer-lasting and more frequent, extensive and intense in the past few decades, and that this trend will accelerate under further global warming.Read More →

Human influence on the seasonal cycle of tropospheric temperature

Published:July 2018

Author(s):Benjamin D. Santer, Stephen Po-Chedley, Mark D. Zelinka, Ivana Cvijanovic, Céline Bonfils, Paul J. Durack, Qiang Fu, Jeffrey Kiehl, Carl Mears, Jeffrey Painter, Giuliana Pallotta, Susan Solomon, Frank J. Wentz, Cheng-Zhi Zou

Publisher:American Association for the Advancement of Science

The results of this study suggest that attribution studies with the seasonal cycle of tropospheric temperature provide powerful and novel evidence for a statistically significant human effect on Earth’s climate.Read More →

Red-hot Planet: All-time heat Records Have Been Set All Over the World During the Past Week

Published:July 2018

Author(s):Jason Samenow

Publisher:The Washington Post

This article describes the all-time record-setting heat wave in the Northern Hemisphere in summer 2018 and cautions that these heat records are consistent with the extremes scientists expect to see in a warming world. Read More →

Early 21st century anthropogenic changes in extremely hot days as simulated by the C20C+ detection and attribution multi-model ensemble

Published:June 2018

Author(s):Michael Wehner, Dáithí Stone, Hideo Shiogama, Piotr Wolski, Andrew Ciavarella, Nikolaos Christidis, Harinarayan Krishnan

Publisher:Elsevier

We find that most regions experience increases in the frequency and intensity of extremely hot three day periods due to anthropogenic climate change.Read More →

Hurricane Harvey Links to Ocean Heat Content and Climate Change Adaptation

Published:May 2018

Author(s):Kevin E. Trenberth, Lijing Cheng, Peter Jacobs, Yongxin Zhang, John Fasullo

Publisher:Earth's Future

This article uses ocean and atmosphere observations to demonstrate links between increased upper ocean heat content due to global warming with the extreme rainfalls from recent hurricanes.Read More →

Quantitative Attribution of Climate Effects on Hurricane Harvey’s Extreme Rainfall in Texas

Published:April 2018

Author(s):S-Y Simon Wang, Lin Zhao, Jin-Ho Yoon, Phil Klotzbach, Robert R Gillies

Publisher:Environmental Research Letters

This study suggests that post-1980 climate warming could have contributed to the extreme precipitation of Hurricane Harvey. Read More →

Extinction risks forced by climatic change and intraspecific variation in the thermal physiology of a tropical lizard

Published:April 2018

Author(s):Emerson Pontes-da-Silva, William E. Magnuson, Barry Sinervo, Gabriel H. Caetano, Donald B. Miles, Guarino R. Colli, Luisa M. Diele-Viegas, Jessica Fenker, Juan C. Santos, Fernanda P. Werneck

Publisher:Journal of Thermal Biology

The study's results support the hypothesis that tropical-lizard taxa are at high risk of local extinction caused by increasing temperatures.Read More →

The High Latitude Marine Heat Wave of 2016 and Its Impacts on Alaska

Published:March 2018

Author(s):John E. Walsh, Richard L. Thoman, Uma S. Bhatt, Peter A. Bieniek, Brian Brettschneider, Michael Brubaker, Seth Danielson, Rick Lader, Florence Fetterer, Kris Holderied Katrin Iken, Andy Mahoney, Molly McCammon, James Partain

Publisher:Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS)

This article describes how the 2016 Alaska marine heat wave was unprecedented in terms of sea surface temperatures and ocean heat content, and how CMIP5 data suggest human-induced climate change has greatly increased the risk of such anomalies.Read More →

CMIP5 Model-based Assessment of Anthropogenic Influence on Highly Anomalous Arctic Warmth During November–December 2016

Published:March 2018

Author(s):Jonghun Kam, Thomas R. Knutson, Fanrong Zeng, Andrew T. Wittenberg

Publisher:Bulletin of the American Meteorological Society (BAMS)

This article presents the results from CMIP5 simulations which demonstrate that the highly anomalous Arctic warmth during November–December 2016 would most likely not have been possible without anthropogenic forcing.Read More →
