Elsevier
Empirical analyses show that, on average, trading volumes fall significantly (between 4% and 10%) when maximum daily temperatures exceed 30 °C (86 °F).Read More →

The contribution of global aviation to anthropogenic climate forcing for 2000 to 2018

This peer-reviewed study examined two extreme heatwaves in Western Europe in 2019, finding that their frequency and intensity were influenced by climate change.Read More →

Anthropogenic Climate Change and Glacier Lake Outburst Flood Risk: Local and Global Drivers and Responsibilities for the Case of Lake Palcacocha, Peru

August 2020
Christian Huggel, Mark Carey, Adam Emmer, Holger Frey, Noah Walker-Crawford, and Ivo Wallimann-Helmer
Natural Hazards and Earth System Sciences
Analysis of lake Palcacocha's case in the Andes of Peru, which offers a representative model for other glacier lakes and related risks around the world because it features a dynamic evolution of flood risk driven by physical and socioeconomic factorsRead More →

Anthropogenic warming forces extreme annual glacier mass loss

August 2020
Lauren J. Vargo, Brian M. Anderson, Ruzica Dadić, Huw J. Horgan, Andrew N. Mackintosh, Andrew D. King, Andrew M. Lorrey
Nature Climate Change
Glacier mass balance is simulated using temperature and precipitation from multiple climate model ensembles. The authors estimate extreme mass loss was six (2011) and ten (2018) times more likely to occur with anthropogenic forcing than without.Read More →
