Latest IPCC climate report warns that rising greenhouse-gas emissions could soon outstrip the ability of many communities to adapt. The negative impacts of climate change are mounting far faster than scientists predicted less than a decade ago, according to the latest report from a United Nations climate panel. Many impacts are unavoidable and will hit... Continue Reading →
Climate change is hitting the planet faster than scientists originally thought
Thousands of scientists have repeated calls for urgent action to tackle the climate emergency, warning that several tipping points are now imminent. The researchers, part of a group of more than 14,000 scientists who have signed on to an initiative declaring a worldwide climate emergency, said in an article published in the journal BioScience on...

IPCC Climate Report Explained by Scientist
Sarah Myhre talks climate communication
In this interview, John Cook and Peter Jacobs talk with climate scientist Sarah Myhre. She offers challenging advice on climate scientists being more vulnerable in public, showing how they struggle with their science, how we care about the ways that communities are impacted by climate change. She reflects on whether scientists should engage with the... Continue Reading →
The global consensus on how climate change will affect the planet is documented every few years by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), an entity within the United Nations that compiles research on the subject with the assistance of thousands of volunteer scientists. The five reports compiled since 1990 have documented both updated estimates... Continue Reading →
You should not be surprised that climate predictions may have been too conservative
Thwaites Glacier is melting fast. But to understand how climate change is driving its decline, scientists need to send instruments through 2,000 feet of ice into the water below. Aurora Basinski crouches in a tent on a glacier jutting out from Antarctica, half a mile off solid land. She’s tinkering with a device called a... Continue Reading →
Scientists find warm water beneath Antarctica’s most at-risk glacier
