Knowing the future climate is very important, because we can take steps to adapt to climate change, saving lives and property. And the threat of unpleasant consequences can motivate society to take steps to reduce carbon...

While solar power is a leading form of renewable energy, new research suggests that changes to regional climates brought on by global warming could make areas currently considered ideal for solar power production less viable...

According to a study whose authors include Ken Caldeira, China's efforts to eliminate its infamous air pollution could cause an additional 0.1C NH warming, because less sunlight will be reflected by aerosols. However, despite...

Comparative study of the GEOMAR illustrates dependence on model resolution Climate models can only provide an approximation to the real world. Some models still suffer from relatively large biases in the sea surface temperatures...

Admitting some cloud error is as close as most climate modellers come to admitting their projections are not fit for purpose. Note the image is from Pat Frank's paper about cloud error, not Paulo Ceppi and Ric Williams' paper.

There is unequivocal proof Malaria does not need a warm climate - brief periods of warmth are enough. Malaria used to be a major cause of death in Northern Europe, during the depths of the Little Ice Age. Yet scientists still...

A new study led by University of Hawai'i at Mānoa researchers, published in the journal Nature Communications this week, revealed that correctly simulating ocean current variations hundreds of feet below the ocean surface...

This is an article with a simple proposition. Science tells us that rapidly rising Co2 in turn causes rising temperatures, which has become a very serious problem for humanity.

Two new peer-reviewed papers from independent teams confirm that climate models overstate atmospheric warming and the problem has gotten worse over time, not better.

By Nic Lewis This is a brief comment on a new paper[i] by a mathematician in the Exeter Climate Systems group, Femke Nijsse, and two better known colleagues, Peter Cox and Mark Williamson...

Increasingly detailed, physics-based models are improving steadily, but an in-depth understanding of the persisting uncertainties is still lacking.

A team of scientists, led by UK Met Office, has achieved a scientific breakthrough allowing the longer-term prediction of North Atlantic pressure patterns, the key driving force behind winter weather in Europe and eastern...

Guest essay by Eric Worrall A new climate study has dismissed utterly implausible high end climate models. But the new study also seeks to raise the low end of the range of estimated climate sensitivity into the discomfort...

Climate scientists are worried a beaver boom may be helping to melt the Arctic ice.
