Nature Climate Change - Climate change will impact financial stability, but the quantitative evidence on the magnitude of such risks is still rare. With a forward-looking structural credit-risk...

A new study led by CAS Institute of Atmospheric Physics investigates the paradox of these record-breaking cold spells and assesses future risks in a changing climate. The study reveals that human-induced climate change is actually weakening extreme cold events…

Nature Climate Change - Coastal communities are at risk from extreme coastal storms. This study leverages US tide gauge data from 1950–2020 to show that likelihood estimates of storm surge...

Splinter is your home for news and opinions that challenge power in our political and economic system that's becoming more unhinged each and every day.

Nature - Climate models, impact models and demographic data are used to estimate the number of people projected to experience unprecedented lifetime exposure to extreme climate events across...

We demonstrate a tripling in the frequency of planetary wave resonance events over
the past halfcentury, coinciding with the rise in persistent bor...

Communications Earth & Environment - Summer North Atlantic Oscillations are projected to become more frequent and intense due to amplified variability driven by global warming, according to...

Nature Climate Change - Literature produced inconsistent findings regarding the links between extreme weather events and climate policy support across regions, populations and events. This global...

Nature Geoscience - The duration of long heatwaves increases at an accelerating rate with warming such that a large increase in the risk of long-lasting heatwaves results from relatively modest...

Research shows people’s response to binary data could drive more effective ways of communicating gravity of crisis

The 2017 “megaflash” was more than 50 times the length of the average bolt.

Over the past century, extreme heat events (EHEs) have become more frequent and intense, resulting in significant health impacts and economic challenges worldwide. In the United States, extreme heat is the leading weather-related cause of death, claiming…

Mortality trends and outliers are identified and discussed for Asian floods and storms, African floods, and European temperature extremes

The 2023 Mediterranean cyclone Storm Daniel was a once-in...

npj Climate and Atmospheric Science - Unprecedented 2024 East Antarctic winter heatwave driven by polar vortex weakening and amplified by anthropogenic warming

Physics-based models still outperform artificial intelligence-based weather models in forecasting record-breaking extreme events.

Climate change-induced weather events are pushing orangutan populations to extinction, says a study.

“What we used to think of as extreme, we increasingly consider as normal.” That is the summarising comment from Mike Kendon, the Met Office lead author of the latest edition of the State of the UK Climate report.
