Comment this story Comment Climate models are complicated things. They must take into account an impressive number of mathematical and physical variables to predict, for example, how the emission of a given quantity of carbon dioxide will modify the flows of air, water and heat between the atmosphere and the oceans. More sophisticated projections go […]
Tim Rowland | Journalist NOAA predicts busy Atlantic hurricane season Federal meteorologists say the Atlantic should expect another busy hurricane season this year. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicts 14 to 21 named storms, of which 6 to 10 will become hurricanes. (May 24) PA If you’re looking for the bright side of climate […]
“Our business has evolved quite significantly to use the same tools with the same premises and modeling frameworks, but to underpin decisions with a different level of credibility and scale,” she said. Upgrade Around one-fifth of global carbon output comes from agriculture, so decarbonizing the sector could play a critical role in meeting emissions targets. […]
As the federal government implements the landmark climate law signed by President Biden last week, several states are well advanced in their efforts to address climate change. Climate resilience and emissions reduction projects have been underway for years in places like California and Maryland that have political momentum around climate action and in Florida and […]
Several major oil companies, including BP and Shell, periodically publish scenarios forecasting the future of the energy sector. In recent years, they have added visions for how climate change could be tackled, including scenarios they say are in line with the international Paris climate agreement. These scenarios are extremely influential. They are used by companies […]
A Canterbury man has invented a better steam engine and thinks it can help mitigate climate change. Reports by Will Harvie. Sam Mackwell wants to “eliminate diesel from food production”. Some New Zealand farmers burn 200,000 to 300,000 liters of dirty fuel a year, he says, and every drop contributes to global warming. Mackwell insists […]

Environmental and climate scientists help monitor the Earth’s environment and study humans’ relationship with it. Understanding climate change and its effects is crucial to mitigating its immediate impacts. Earth’s environments are changing as the planet warms due to human industry. Building better climate models will help us understand how these effects will materialize, and other […]
Billions of dollars could be misallocated to tackle the wrong climate threats around the world because the models used by central banks and regulators are not fit for purpose, a leading Australian climate researcher has said. Prof. Andy Pitman, director of the Australian Research Council’s Center of Excellence for Climate Extremessaid regulators relied on models […]
