NewsRecord 2020 spring temperature across Australia virtually impossible without human-caused climate change
How do researchers assess whether record temperatures were caused by climate change? They use a process called ‘extreme event attribution’. And they’ve just run an analysis for the record-breaking temperatures set in 2020.

The Australian State of the Climate 2020 report reveals a picture of long-term climate trends and climate variability. The biennial climate snapshot draws on the latest observations and climate research from the marine, atmospheric and terrestrial monitoring programs at CSIRO and Bureau of Meteorology.

NewsNew research: nitrous oxide emissions 300 times more powerful than CO₂ are jeopardising Earth’s future
New research has found that nitrous oxide from agriculture and other sources is accumulating in the atmosphere so quickly it puts Earth on track for a dangerous 3℃ warming this century.

NewsClimate change science informs new Australian guidelines for consistent climate risk assessments and disclosures
The Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub has provided scientific expertise to inform the industry-led Climate Measurement Standards Initiative. The initiative has released a set of open-source scientific and technical guidelines that will provide consistent guidance on how to assess the risk of climate-related damage to buildings and critical infrastructure.

Understanding trends and changes in erosion rates for coastal locations is important for informing coastal management and planning activities. The Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub is investigating shoreline change in Victoria through the National Centre for Coasts and Climate. Historic shoreline change for nine coastal areas in Victoria was investigated, with results summarised in a series of location-based fact sheets.

NewsUnder climate change, winter will be the best time for bush burn-offs – and that could be bad news for public health
Climate change may actually increase the number of burn days in some places, but the windows of opportunity will shift towards winter months. The bad news is that burning during these months potentially increases the public health impacts of smoke.

NewsEmissions of methane – a greenhouse gas far more potent than carbon dioxide – are rising dangerously
Methane emissions have continued to rise over the past decade and are tracking concentrations consistent with the warmest IPCC scenario.
