New study highlights need to address risk of continued global warming after net zero
From scorching heat waves to torrential downpours and devastating storms, the disastrous effects of global warming are sweeping across the world. Considering the predicted outcome of burning fossil fuels, our best and only plan to limit warming is to.....»»
Climate change increasing likelihood of extreme snowfall in the French Alps, research suggests
Global warming is often cited as having a negative impact on snow and ice melt in cold regions, yet new research published in The Cryosphere has suggested that extreme snowfall events may be a feature of some locations at higher latitudes and elevati.....»»
Heated bay off Sweden"s coast potentially shows how ecosystems are affected by future global warming
Research at a long-term heated bay near Oskarshamn, in south east Sweden, provides a rare insight into how the Baltic Sea's coastal areas will be affected by climate change. Here, cooling water from the nearby nuclear power plant has raised the avera.....»»
Faster Arctic warming hastens 2-degree-Celsius rise by eight years, finds modeling study
Faster warming in the Arctic will be responsible for a global 2 C temperature rise being reached eight years earlier than if the region were warming at the average global rate, according to a new modeling study led by UCL researchers......»»

Significant increase in short-duration extreme precipitation over mountainous areas in China seen under global warming
A new study led by Prof. Xiaopeng Cui from the Institute of Atmospheric Physics at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, in collaboration with experts from the National Meteorological Center of China, has uncovered a startling trend of increased short-dur.....»»
Global warming–induced sea level changes could increase earthquake risk
Earthquakes often occur along plate boundaries, when sudden movements of the "stuck" plates release elastic strain energy, sending out seismic waves that result in the ground shaking familiar to many worldwide. More rarely, earthquakes occur within p.....»»
A fifth of European Red List flora and fauna species may be at risk of extinction
A new analysis of 14,669 threatened species of plants and animals found in Europe reveals that about one fifth face the risk of extinction, and that agricultural land-use change poses a significant threat to these species. Axel Hochkirch of the Musé.....»»
Overcoming the climate crisis with trade-based strategies
Global warming is making weather patterns more extreme and increasing inequalities across regions. However, economic growth is still possible, with economies showing a range of responses to the impacts of global heating......»»
Fossil fuel plans by producing nations threatens 1.5C limit: UN
Plans to expand oil, gas and coal production by major fossil fuel countries would push the world far beyond the Paris deal's 1.5C global warming limit, the UN warned Wednesday......»»
Why a surprising discovery, warming seas and the demise of the "Meg" may spell trouble for more and more sharks

How global warming shakes the Earth: Seismic data show ocean waves gaining strength as the planet warms
As oceans waves rise and fall, they apply forces to the sea floor below and generate seismic waves. These seismic waves are so powerful and widespread that they show up as a steady thrum on seismographs, the same instruments used to monitor and study.....»»
"Biodiversity time machine" provides insights into a century of loss
Scientists have run the first proof of concept of their DNA 'time machine' to shed light on a century of environmental change in a freshwater lake—including warming temperatures and pollution, leading to the potentially irreversible loss of biodive.....»»
Once they have laid their eggs, fish become "young" again: Study
The physical relief—in body weight—that temperate fish like cod and Atlantic herring experience after they spawn for the first time allows them to breathe in more oxygen and develop a voracious appetite, all of which leads to a rapid increase in.....»»
