Climate scientists are confronting a hard truth: some of the most widely used models are struggling to keep up with the pace and texture of real‑world warming. The physics at their core remains sound, ...

New research suggests the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) could weaken by 43% to 59% by 2100, a far sharper decline than earlier models predicted. The AMOC, a key ocean current ...

Atmospheric dust plays a dual role in Earth's climate: it reflects some sunlight back into space while also absorbing and retaining the planet's heat like an insulating blanket. But while dust likely ...

Researchers have devised a new machine learning method to improve large-scale climate model projections and demonstrated that the new tool makes the models more accurate at both the global and ...

Satellite image provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration shows Hurricane Melissa churning northwest through the Caribbean Sea. The Category 5 hurricane is a recent example of ...

The Adriatic Sea and its coastal regions are increasingly exposed to climate variability and extreme events, posing significant challenges to communities, ...

Is your city prepared for flooding caused by extreme rainfall under climate change? In many regions, the uncertainty surrounding this threat is a major cause for concern and an obstacle to adaptation.

Climate change is likely to drive rodent-borne arenaviruses into parts of South America that have never faced these diseases, ...

Over the past 60 years, scientists have largely succeeded in building a computer model of Earth to see what the future holds. One of the most ambitious projects humankind has ever undertaken has now ...
