Costs from severe storms are increasing – and this global shift in hailstorm spells bad news for crops, too.

Les mesures de la quantité de chaleur piégée par la Terre dépassent largement les prévisions des modèles climatiques, et les scientifiques ont encore du mal à l’expliquer.
Real world measurements of how much extra heat the Earth is trapping are well beyond most climate models. That’s a real problem.
Mounting evidence shows rainfall is becoming increasingly variable, making the dry times drier and the wet much wetter. New findings confirm research into rainfall variability in Australia.
How’s the humidity? Australia’s east coast has been hit by intense humidity this summer. Here’s why – and why it’s a risk
Angin bisa mengganggu maupun menyegarkan. Namun, pernahkah kamu berhenti sejenak untuk memikirkan dari mana asalnya angin?
Life relies on a fine balance between energy in and energy out. But heating the world 1.2°C means we’ve trapped an extraordinary amount of extra energy in the Earth system.
It can be disruptive or refreshing, and we feel it every single day. But do you ever stop to think what creates wind on our planet?
The growing threat of flash flooding as a result of more intense rapid rain bursts means the city needs to update its flood defences.
An article in the eminent US magazine Science has triggered debate over whether scientists should use climate models. Here’s what you should know about climate models ahead of today’s IPCC report.
A new assessment found substantial warming is much more solidly assured than we thought.
The CSIRO will create a new climate research centre in Hobart with 40 climate scientists.
February 2016 was the hottest month by the biggest margin ever. Does that mean global warming has gone into hyperdrive?
CSIRO is set to cut dozens of jobs from its climate research units, as part of a wider series of job losses to be formally announced today.
Climate models have been criticised because observations could not find the predicted “hot spot” of strong warming in the troposphere. But analyses now show that the tropospheric hot spot is indeed real.
A climate change researcher, evolutionary biologist and science photographer are among the finalists for the 2014 Australia Museum Eureka Prizes. The annual Eureka Prizes recognise those who have made…
The amount of global warming we can expect in the future has been a tough question to pin down. A new study that I led with colleagues in France has enabled us to come up with a more accurate analysis…
The part of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Fifth Assessment Report, dealing with the physical basis of climate change, has now been released. The report - released today in Stockholm…
The amount of solar radiation passing through Earth’s atmosphere and reaching the ground globally peaked in the 1930s, substantially decreased from the 1940s to the 1970s, and changed little after that…
Rising temperatures are linked to a decrease in carbon dioxide (CO2) absorption by tropical forests, according to a 50-year study published today. Greenhouse gases, such as CO2, contribute to global warming…
This week, carbon dioxide concentration in the atmosphere finally crossed the 400 parts-per-million mark. The last time that happened was 3-5 million years ago during the Pliocene epoch, several million…
Extreme weather caused by global warming poses a growing risk to Australia’s crop lands, cities and iconic sites like Kakadu National Park, according to a new report that calls for global emissions to…
A leaked draft report by the world’s top climate scientists has found that is virtually certain that humans are causing climate change but parts of it have been wildly misinterpreted by climate change…
Climate change predictions made 20 years ago have so far proved accurate, suggesting that the world is indeed on track to a radical climate shift, according to a new paper published today. In 1990, the…
You’ll doubtless have heard Australia is introducing a “carbon tax” this Sunday to reduce “carbon pollution”. What is being controlled is not just any carbon but emissions of a specific gas, carbon dioxide…
