Changes in rainfall within global monsoon regions affect the livelihoods of billions. For years, climate models have ...

Northern wildfires may be more dangerous for the climate than they appear. Researchers found that fires in boreal forests can burn deep into peat soils, releasing ancient carbon stored for hundreds or ...

Researchers have long been puzzled by the observed cooling of the eastern tropical Pacific and the Southern Ocean accompanying global warming. Existing climate models have failed to capture this ...

Even if temporary breaches of temperature targets occur, global CO₂ emissions still need to reach net zero by mid-century. New research shows how overshoot affects policy priorities, risk distribution ...
