By 2090, damages to paved roads alone are estimated to cost an annual $20 billion in a high climate impact scenario. While warmer temperatures may extend the construction season in some regions, ”[w]arming winters will also change the timing and location of freeze and thaw events, ...
Climate change could raise the frequency of ‘wet-snow avalanches’ at high elevations in the Swiss Alps. Nature Index|11 December 2024 Four game-changing researchers in materials science These scientists are bringing fresh perspectives to solving the world’s big challenges in materials. ...
arid and semiarid drylands. First, we quantified zones of contraction, expansion and stability of the distribution of five temperate dryland regions. Second, we estimated impacts of climate change on seasonal and depth patterns of ecological drought, and their consequences for plant water uptake...
change through time. Some factors, such as the distribution ofheatwithin theoceans, atmospheric chemistry, and surface vegetation, change at very short timescales. Others, such as the position of continents and the location and height of mountain ranges, change over very long timescales. Therefore,...
Several aspects of climate change need further study in order to suitably capture the potential impact, the first of which is scaling. For instance, it is unclear how climate change predictions based on climate models with resolution on the order of 1000 km2 should be linked to landscape and ...
Climate change effects are already apparent in some Southwestern US forests and are expected to intensify in the coming decades, via direct (temperature, p
Or climate change, or climate crisis, or whatever it’s now being called. But I am very skeptical of people who make absurd and hysterical arguments (climate change will cause genocide, it will cause AIDS, it is supported by racists, it means Cuba is better than the USA, it causes ...

NASA has released a dataset setting out how rainfall and temperature patterns are likely to change in the coming decades. The data covers 21 climate models, mapping how our environment could change due to growing concentrations of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. ...
Global burned area increasingly explained by climate change Complex interactions between drivers have hampered efforts to understand observed changes in fire behaviour worldwide. Here fire model ensembles and impact attribution show that climate change increasingly explains changes in global burned area. ...
