While short-term weather patterns and the El Niño contributed to climate extremes in October 2015, climate records would have been substantially less likely to fall without human-induced climate change.

Global fossil fuel emissions have stalled over the past three years, but we need to accelerate deployment of existing technologies and develop new technologies and behaviours if we’re to keep global warming below 2℃.
-
The latest global methane budget reveals that methane concentrations are growing in the atmosphere faster than any time in the past 20 years.
-
After 27 years, Australia’s largest and longest running climate change science program has concluded, leaving a rich legacy of science and collaboration that the ESCC Hub is building on.
-
Chair of our Stakeholder Advisory Group, Nick Wood, believes that the time is ripe for Australian business to show effective engagement with climate research.
-
This year’s Global Carbon Budget found that, for the third year in a row, global carbon dioxide emissions from fossil fuels and industry have barely grown, while the global economy has continued to grow strongly.

Climate projections from the early 1990s are showing themselves to be in line with observations, but natural climate variability influences our perception of reliability.
-
Climate projections provide important information to help make decisions about the future, but projecting what the climate is likely to look like in 10 or 100 years is a little different to predicting tomorrow’s weather.
-
Hub researchers have prepared comprehensive sea-level projections for all Australian coastal councils, including all mainland and Tasmanian councils and the Torres Strait Islands.
-
Our research into sea level, storm surges and waves will inform policy, planning and development decisions that will minimise the economic, environmental and human cost of coastal hazards.
-
When we think of global warming we often think of the impacts of droughts and extreme weather, so research showing that the world has been getting greener over the past 30 years is perhaps not what you’d expect.
-
Hub Leader Helen Cleugh talks about the importance of climate science and the role of the new Earth Systems and Climate Change Hub in delivering climate science for Australia.
-
We can certainly say that sea levels are rising at an accelerating rate, after several millennia of relative stability. The question is how far and how fast they will go, compared with Earth’s previous history of major sea-level changes?
