The authors combine fire–vegetation models, a chemical transport model and a health risk model to link human mortality from fire emissions to climate change. They estimate that 12.8% of mortalities in 2010 were linked to climate change, with South America, Australia, Europe and boreal forests mo...
Climate change refers to a statistically defined change in the average and/or variability of the climate system, this includes the atmosphere, the water cycle, the land surface, ice and the living components of Earth. The definition does not usually require the causes of change to be attributed...

While this template was easy to follow, things have slowly changed, resulting inclimate variations across Australia'sregions. So, what's new in the Australian landscape? The Sure Signs of Climate Change In the past, Australians couldpredict the weatherbased on previous years as things were largel...
Australia, Germany and the UK pay more attention to climate change issues. The recent Assessment Report on “Climate and Environmental Change in the Mediterranean basin” published by Guiot et al. [25] highlights that “the Mediterranean is warming 20% faster than the global average and that ...

After the release of the Fourth Assessment report of theIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change(IPCC), a workshop in Sydney, Australia, in October 2007 collated lessons from this report that should guide global change research ahead of the next proposed assessment. That workshop was dominated by...
The role of tropical forests in mitigating climate change is therefore critical. Over the past 30 years almost 600,000 km2 have been deforested in Brazil alone due to the rapid development of Amazonia, this is the reason why currently the region is one of the ‘hotspots’ of global ...
Climate action in cities is increasingly recognized as of strategic importance to accomplish the global governance of climate change. In Europe, cities are adopting a “mission approach” to accelerate urban transformations and reach climate neutrality targets by 2030. While the “Mission” unfolds, it...
Climate change is the worst. Here's just how bad it got this year. The big news in Earth science this year was all about climate change, with extreme weather, flooding and drought attributed to warming. Scientists also warned about much worse to come if we don't rein in carbon emissions...
