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 ...

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 ...

Climate models have been the basis for concern about climate change for more than 35 years. The US government, the United Nations, and organizations across the world have used model projections to ...

The world’s largest climate modeling initiative is quietly ramping up its next project, but U.S. participation is a wild card ...

Humans have tried to predict the weather for as long as there have been floods and droughts. But in recent years, climate science, advanced computing and satellite imagery have supercharged their ...

Our planet plunged into one of the most dramatic climate states in its long history, approximately 720–635 million years ago.

A new study says a federal climate report wrongly downplayed clear evidence of the human “fingerprint” on atmospheric warming.

The researchers applied statistical tools designed to identify structural changes in time series data over time, commonly called changepoint models, to four sets of global mean surface temperature ...
