Extreme heat in North America, Europe, and China made much more likely by climate change
This review article synthesizes peer-reviewed research that combines observational data and climate modeling to assess how global climate change altered the probability and intensity of the July 2023 heatwaves in the Northern Hemisphere.Read More →
Sensitivity of arctic CH₄ emissions to landscape wetness diminished by atmospheric feedbacks
This peer-reviewed study uses climate modeling to show that atmospheric feedbacks may accelerate increases in methane emissions from arctic permafrost due to thaw-induced drying of permafrost landscapes.Read More →
State of the Climate in Latin America and the Caribbean 2022
This report summarizes the 2022 state of the climate and the extreme and high-impact weather and climate events in Latin America and the Caribbean, placed in the context of long-term climate variability and change.Read More →
Built structures influence patterns of energy demand and CO₂ emissions across countries
This peer-reviewed study uses statistical analysis to analyze the correlation between patterns of settlement and transportation infrastructures on per-capita energy demand and CO₂ emissions at the national level.Read More →
Attribution of the Heavy Rainfall Events Leading to Severe Flooding in Western Europe during July 2021
This study provides analysis of the severe flooding caused by extreme rainfall across Western Europe in July 2021. The study quantifies the increase in probability and intensity of such events due to anthropogenic climate change.Read More →
Attribution of the heavy rainfall events leading to severe flooding in Western Europe during July 2021
This peer-reviewed study uses observational data and climate modeling to compare the intensity and probability of the July 2021 extreme rainfall in Western Europe to that which would be experienced in a world without anthropogenic climate change.Read More →
Evaluation of historical and future thermal conditions for almond trees in north-eastern Portugal
This peer-reviewed study uses climate modeling of moderate and high-warming scenarios to assess how climate change will threaten the growing conditions of almond trees in the Trás-os-Montes agrarian region of Portugal.Read More →
Ungulate-vehicle crashes peak a month earlier than 38 years ago due to global warming
This peer-reviewed study uses car crash and temperature data to find that the annual spring peak in wildlife-vehicle crashes has shifted earlier by a month over the past several decades due to warmer temperatures, indicating ecosystem impacts.Read More →
Changes in global food consumption increase GHG emissions despite efficiency gains along global supply chains
This peer-reviewed article uses trade and emissions intensity data to attribute fluctuations in consumption-based emissions of food to factors such as trade structure, per capita consumption, and emissions intensity of food products. Read More →
