For reasons that are still unclear, climate models underestimate the growing gap between the amount of energy Earth receives ...

Models, by definition, are approximations: useful, informative, and inevitably incomplete, because they are the only way to simplify a world too complex to grasp all at once. A new study on nitrous ...

By 2100, rural African dwellers will be exposed to dangerous levels of heat nearly twice as high as those in urban areas.

Researchers created a detailed physical model that suggests a major Atlantic Ocean current will weaken far less under climate change than indicated by more extreme climate model projections. The ...

Have you ever stopped to wonder how forecasters can predict the weather days in advance, or how scientists figure out how the ...

Patagonia’s glaciers have been shrinking faster than ever over the past two decades, and the reasons go far beyond simple warming. New research shows a deeper, long-term shift in the atmosphere is to ...

Hybrid climate modeling has emerged as an effective way to reduce the computational costs associated with cloud-resolving models while retaining their accuracy. The approach retains physics-based ...

The climate crisis could trigger a global financial crash as temperatures rise beyond 2C, but governments and investors are relying on economic models that fail to account for the scale and severity ...

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 ...

For reasons that are still unclear, climate models underestimate the growing gap between the amount of energy Earth receives ...

Rapid attribution reports generate good headlines and play into the narrative that anthropogenic climate change causes ...
