A atmosfera complicada, e temperaturas quentes em um local podem contribuir para tempestades brutalmente frias em outro lugar.
- Professor of Climate Science, UMass Lowell
The atmosphere is a complicated place. Warm temperatures in one spot can contribute to brutally cold storms somewhere else.
With Debby’s storm track, much of the East Coast is forecast to get soaked. Climate change also plays a role in the downpours.
Global temperatures have averaged at least 1.5 degrees Celsius warmer than preindustrial times for over a year. Two scientists explain what that means and what humanity can do.
The June heat wave triggered warnings of a flash drought and caused a surge in ER visits. Many other countries have been facing extreme heat at the same time.
The world can expect fewer severe cold events as average temperatures rise, but people still need to be prepared for wintery blasts.
Parts of New York’s Hudson Valley were hit with 10 inches of rain, and the mountains of Vermont – where runoff can quickly turn deadly – saw some its worst flooding since Hurricane Irene.
The final report in the IPCC’s sixth assessment series says countries will have to cut their greenhouse gas emissions 60% in the next 12 years to keep global warming in check.
A monster hurricane, destructive storms and a drought that disrupted businesses across the economy led the list of the year’s costliest disasters.
Two hurricane and climate scientists explain what’s known – and still unknown – about global warming’s influence on intensity, rainfall and much more.
Extreme downpours caught people off guard from Las Vegas to Kentucky in July 2022.
A hurricane that wreaked havoc from Louisiana to New York City, the Texas freeze and devastating western wildfires topped NOAA’s list of billion-dollar disasters in 2021.
Counter to what you might expect, events like the February cold wave that froze Texas can actually become more likely with global warming.
Bencana yang berhubungan dengan air terbukti sangat merusak. Penulis utama laporan IPCC memperingatkan bahwa krisis iklim dapat membuat peristiwa ekstrem tersebut lebih sering terjadi.
El impacto del cambio climático en los fenómenos extremos relacionados con el agua es cada vez más evidente, advierte un autor principal del nuevo informe.
Water-related hazards are exceptionally destructive, and the impact of climate change on extreme water-related events is increasingly evident, a lead author of the new report warns.
