Current flood risk mapping, relying on historical observations, fails to account for increasing threat under climate change. Incorporating recent developments in inundation modelling, here we show a 26.4% (24.1–29.1%) increase in US flood risk by 2050 d
Heatwaves in lakes are increasing with climate change, but are typically studied at the surface; little is known about heatwave dynamics with depth. This study finds subsurface heatwaves last longer, but are less intense than surface heatwaves and have increased in frequency over the past 40 ...
Global warming is reshaping our world through extreme weather events, drought, species loss, and a warming and rising ocean. Get the latest coverage of the science behind climate change, the communities most affected, threats to biodiversity, and the innovative solutions being developed to combat it...

Climate finance needs to be delivered, and delivered swiftly because the victims can't wait. "It has to be now," said Ibrahim. "Climate change is not only in the movies, it is the real life of people." She told Xinhua that 40 million people who depend on the resources of Lake Chad...
BEIJING, Dec. 5 (Xinhua) -- China, a crucial contributor to the global fight against climate change, has taken solid steps to advance the green shift in its economic and social development and achieved tangible results, official data revealed. ...
Therecord-breaking2020 Atlantichurricane seasonis just another example of how climate change is making weather events more extreme, driving people to migrate from their homes. While hurricanes in the western Caribbean are common during the fall, Eta and Iota were remarkably strong for so late in ...
Still nearly a month to go before the year wraps up, the World Meteorological Organization on Thursday labeled 2023 the hottest year on record in human history. The UN agency warned that 2023 marked a year of unprecedented climate records being shattered, as extreme weather events left behind a...
in the polar atmosphere, this points to a possible contribution of iodine to ozone loss and new particle formation, and to their associated radiative impacts, during past abrupt climate change periods, such as D/O events and the onset of interglacials. However, this potential contribution of ...
Changes in the intensity or frequency of extreme climate events can profoundly increase the disruption caused by climate change1,2,3,4. The more extreme these events, the greater the potential to push ecosystems and communities beyond their ability to cope3,5. The rate at which existing high ...
