Since many different factors can influence storms, the researchers noted that solidly attributing the observed trends solely to human-induced climate change is difficult. However, as the trends match up reasonably well with what is expected in a warming climate, the...
A common talking point among climate change skeptics is either "the temperature record is unreliable" or "the temperature record is rigged." That might be a plausible argument if all of science relied on just one or two records; however, there are many independent temperature records produced by...

THE SCIENCE IS CLEAR The physics of how greenhouse gases affect the Earth's temperature (also called the Earth's energy balance) has beenunderstood since the 19th century. Yes: the science behind climate change is older than the light bulb. While there are many heat-trapping greenhouse gases ...

“So if you go and look at this Libya case—a blocking high, plus warm Mediterranean seas, and other factors also in place—all of these things have connections to climate change,” Shepherd says. “Scholarly literature does suggest that we will have perhaps stronger versions of storms like ...
Why is it more important to understand climate change than it is, for instance, to know that climate change is real? And, assuming that understanding climate change is indeed more valuable than just knowing about it, what does this involve? Why do we need to have understanding rather than ...
How Does Climate Change Affect Us? Climate change has plenty of impacts on society. Extreme weather and natural disasters can destroy homes and injure or even kill humans. Additionally, poor air quality, which is related to climate change, can affect human health. Not to mention, soil and gro...
