Climate change affects more than temperature – we’ve also seen the fingerprint of climate change on frosts and extreme rainfall.
-
‘No room for complacency’ – that’s the big message from the latest Global Carbon Budget, which reports global greenhouse emissions from fossil fuels and industry are on track to grow by 2% in 2017, reaching a new record high of 37 billion tonnes of carbon dioxide.
-
Satellite data is increasingly supporting carbon cycle monitoring, but there are still some limitations on what the data can tell us.
-
Water is the most precious resource needed for plants to grow, and our research suggests that vegetation is becoming much better at using it in a world in which carbon dioxide levels continue to rise.

Contributions to sea-level rise have increased by half since 1993, largely because of Greenland’s ice
Greenland’s contribution to sea-level rise is increasing due to both increased surface melting and flow of ice into the ocean.

Droughts and flooding rains already more likely as climate change plays havoc with Pacific weather
Global warming has already increased the risk of major disruptions to Pacific rainfall and will continue to do so over coming decades, even if global warming during the 21st century is restricted to 2℃.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Research highlights the importance of including all three major greenhouse gases–not just carbon dioxide–in global and regional climate impact assessments, mitigation options and climate policy development.
