Reduced Tropical Climate Land Area Under Global Warming

March 2023
Ori Adam, Noga Liberty-Levi, Michael Byrne, Thomas Birner
Geophysical Research Letters
This peer-reviewed study examines the extent of tropical climate land areas in the ERA5 and MERRA-2 reanalyses and in high-emission scenarios of 45 climate models. The study finds that climate change will drive a net reduction in tropical land area.Read More →

Warming and Drought Weaken the Carbon Sink Capacity of an Endangered Paleoendemic Temperate Rainforest in South America

March 2023
Jorge F. Perez-Quezada, Jonathan Barichivich, Rocío Urrutia-Jalabert, Enrique Carrasco, David Aguilera, Cédric Bacour, Antonio Lara
JGR: Biogeosciences
This peer-reviewed study finds that warming and drying predicted by climate change models may reduce the capacity of temperate rainforests in southern Chile to act as a carbon sink.Read More →

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change
This Synthesis Report summarizes the state of knowledge of climate change, its widespread impacts and risks, and climate change mitigation and adaptation, based on the peer-reviewed scientific, technical and socio-economic literature since 2014.Read More →

Climate change increased extreme monsoon rainfall, flooding highly vulnerable communities in Pakistan

March 2023
Friederike E L Otto, Mariam Zachariah, Fahad Saeed, Ayesha Siddiqi, Shahzad Kamil, Haris Mushtaq, T Arulalan, Krishna AchutaRao, S T Chaithra, Clair Barnes, Sjoukje Philip, Sarah Kew, Robert Vautard, Gerbrand Koren, Izidine Pinto, Piotr Wolski, Maja Vahlberg, Roop Singh, Julie Arrighi, Maarten van Aalst, Lisa Thalheimer, Emmanuel Raju, Sihan Li, Wenchang Yang, Luke J Harrington, Ben Clarke

This peer-reviewed study uses a probabilistic event attribution methodology to assess the dynamics of extreme monsoon rainfall in Pakistan throughout the 2022 summer season. Read More →

Record-high CO2 emissions from boreal fires in 2021

March 2023
Bo Zheng, Philippe Ciais, Frederic Chevallier, Hui Yang, Josep G. Canadell, Yang Chen, Ivar R. Van Der Velde, Ilse Aben, Emilio Chuvieco, Steven J. Davis, Merritt Deeter, Chaopeng Hong, Yawen Kong, Haiyan Li, Hui Li, Xin Lin, Kebin He, Qiang Zhang
Science
This peer-reviewed study finds that an increase in extreme boreal fires in 2021 resulted in increased CO2 emissions. Increasing numbers of extreme boreal fires and stronger climate–fire feedbacks challenge climate mitigation efforts.Read More →

Oceanic climate changes threaten the sustainability of Asia’s water tower

March 2023
Qiang Zhang, Zexi Shen, Yadu Pokhrel, Daniel Farinotti, Vijay P. Singh, Chong-Yu Xu, Wenhuan Wu, Gang Wang
Nature
This peer-reviewed study indicates that, by the end of the 21st century, up to 97% (under the most extreme scenario) of the Tibetan Plateau could be affected by water storage deficits, leading to unstable water supplies in High Mountain Asia.Read More →
