Tracing Anthropogenic Carbon Dioxide and Methane Emissions to Fossil Fuel and Cement Producers, 1854–2010
This article describes the historic carbon dioxide and methane emissions from global fossil fuel and cement producers, and seeks to consider these emissions' possible relevance to public policy. Read More →
The Challenge to Detect and Attribute Effects of Climate Change on Human and Natural Systems
This paper describes the current conceptual framework of detection and attribution and outlines a number of conceptual challenges.Read More →
The Impact of Powder River Basin Coal Exports on Global Greenhouse Gas Emissions
This report details and responds to the arguments that there will be no net increase in global GHG emissions as a result of the expansion of PRB coal mining and the construction of rail and port infrastructure on the West Coast.Read More →

IPCC AR5 WGI Climate Change 2013: The Physical Science Basis
This report considers new evidence of climate change based on many independent scientific analyses from observations of the climate system, paleoclimate archives, theoretical studies of climate processes and simulations using climate models. Read More →
Chinese Drought, Bread and the Arab Spring
Potential crop failure due to drought led China to buy wheat on the international market and contributed to a doubling of global wheat prices, resulting in price spikes with economic impacts in Egypt, where bread prices tripled. Read More →
A Decade of Weather Extremes
This article reviews the evidence and argue that for some types of extreme--notably heatwaves, but also precipitation extremes--there is now strong evidence linking specific events or an increase in their numbers to the human influence on climate.Read More →
The Supply Chain of CO2 Emissions
This paper presents a consistent set of carbon inventories that reveal vulnerabilities and benefits related to current patterns of energy use that are relevant to climate and energy policy. Read More →
Good Practice Guidance Paper on Detection and Attribution Related to Climate Change
This paper summarises the conclusions of the joint Expert Meeting of Working Group I and Working Group II of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change on the detection and attribution related to anthropogenic climate change.
