The Lancet
This peer-reviewed annual report monitors the impacts of climate change on health, and publishes annual updates of over 40 health-related climate indicators. This year's report finds few signs of global progress on climate-related health issues.Read More →

Aerosols overtake greenhouse gases causing a warmer climate and more weather extremes toward carbon neutrality

November 2023
Pinya Wang, Yang Yang, Daokai Xue, Lili Ren, Jianping Tang, L. Ruby Leung, Hong Liao
Nature Communications
This peer-reviewed study assesses the impacts of changing greenhouse gases, aerosols, and tropospheric ozone on a carbon neutral pathway, and finds that as we approach carbon neutrality, atmospheric aerosols become a more important factor.Read More →

Extratropical forests increasingly at risk due to lightning fires

November 2023
Thomas A. J. Janssen, Matthew W. Jones, Declan Finney, Guido R. van der Werf, Dave van Wees, Wenxuan Xu, Sander Veraverbeke
Nature Geoscience
In this peer-reviewed study, the authors examine fire ignition, and show that 77% of the burned area in extratropical forests stems from lightning. These areas are expected to experience between 11 and 31% more lightning per degree of warming.Read More →

Human-induced climate change compounded by socio-economic water stressors increased severity of drought in Syria, Iraq and Iran

November 2023
Friederike E. L. Otto, Ben Clarke, Mohammad Rahimi, Mariam Zachariah, Clair Barnes, Joyce Kimutai, Simphiwe Stewart, Maja Vahlberg, Abhinav Banthiya, Rana El Hajj
Grantham Institute for Climate Change
In this event study, the authors combine observations-based data products and climate models to assess the impact of climate change on a three-year drought across Iran, Iraq, and Syria.Read More →

Regional but not global temperature variability underestimated by climate models at supradecadal timescales

November 2023
T. Laepple, E. Ziegler, N. Weitzel, R. Hébert, B. Ellerhoff, P. Schoch, B. Martrat, O. Bothe, E. Moreno-Chamarro, M. Chevalier, A. Herbert, K. Rehfeld
Nature Geoscience
This peer-reviewed study reviews the evidence regarding the scale of natural temperature variability during recent millennia, and concludes that existing models may underestimate regional variability in climate outcomes over multi-decadal timescales.Read More →
