Attributable Damage Liability in a Non-Linear Climate
Emerging trends in different categories of climate change litigation suggest that the role of science will will only become more important in the future.Read More →
The Role of Natural Variability and Anthropogenic Climate Change in the 2017/18 Tasman Sea Marine Heatwave
This article describes the record sea surface temperatures during the 2017/18 Tasman Sea marine heatwave and how climate models indicate that they were virtually impossible without anthropogenic influence. Read More →
Accelerating Changes in Ice Mass Within Greenland, and the Ice Sheet’s Sensitivity to Atmospheric Forcing
This study describes research in monitoring ice loss in Greenland due to oceanic and atmospheric forcings and predicts that continued atmospheric warming will lead to southwest Greenland becoming a major contributor to sea-level rise.Read More →
Climate Influence on Legacy Organochlorine Pollutants in Arctic Seabirds
This peer-reviewed study uses samples from the eggs of two arctic seabird species to show that climate change has caused higher concentrations of organochlorine pollutants in seabird species.Read More →
The role of aerosols and greenhouse gases in Sahel drought and recovery
This is only one of a variety of peer-reviewed articles that expand on the role of aerosols and greenhouse gases in late 20th century Sahel drought. It makes a case for attribution by linking human emissions to the changes in sea surface temperaturesRead More →
Climate change induced eutrophication of cold-water lake in an ecologically fragile nature reserve
This peer-reviewed study examines the extent to which the eutrophication of Tianchi Lake can be attributed to climate change. Climate change is determined to have played a significant role, suggesting similar impacts on other lakes and ponds.Read More →
Climate change causes upslope shifts and mountaintop extirpations in a tropical bird community
This study suggests that high-elevation species in the tropics are particularly vulnerable to climate change. The study shows that recent warming does indeed act as an escalator to extinction for birds that live on a remote Peruvian mountain.Read More →
Methane Emissions from Natural Gas Production Sites in the United States: Data Synthesis and National Estimate
This peer-reviewed study uses site-level methane emissions data from natural gas production sites across the United States to develop a new, more accurate national CH4 emission estimate for the natural gas production sector.Read More →
Extinction risk from climate change is reduced by microclimatic buffering
This study shows that microclimatic heterogeneity has strongly buffered species against regional extirpations linked to recent climate change.Read More →
Human influence on the seasonal cycle of tropospheric temperature
The results of this study suggest that attribution studies with the seasonal cycle of tropospheric temperature provide powerful and novel evidence for a statistically significant human effect on Earth’s climate.Read More →
