IPCC Special Report: Global Warming of 1.5 ºC
This IPCC special report explores the impacts of global warming of 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, in the context of strengthening the global response to the threat of climate change, sustainable development, and efforts to eradicate poverty. Read More →
Attribution of wintertime anticyclonic stagnation contributing to air pollution in Western Europe
Climate simulations suggest a potential increase in frequency of stagnant wintertime conditions that prevailed over northwestern Europe in December 2016: it is significant in one multimodel ensemble but not in two single-model ensembles.Read More →
Explaining Extreme Events from a Climate Perspective
This BAMS special report presents assessments of how human-caused climate change may have affected the strength and likelihood of individual extreme events, presenting peer-reviewed analyses of extreme weather events across the world in 2018. Read More →
Human Influences on Heat-Related Health Indicators During the 2015 Egyptian Heat Wave
This study presents a combined modeling and observational assessment of the 2015 heat wave in Egypt found that human discomfort increased due to anthropogenic climate change.Read More →
In Tide’s Way: Southeast Florida’s September 2015 Sunny-day Flood
The probability of a 0.57-m tidal flood within the Miami region has increased by >500% since 1994 from a 10.9-cm sea level rise (SLR)-related trend in monthly highest tides. Read More →
Attributing Human Mortality During Extreme Heat Waves to Anthropogenic Climate Change
This study quantifies the role of human activity on climate and heat-related mortality in an event attribution framework, analyzing both the Europe-wide temperature response in 2003, and localized responses over London and Paris.Read More →
