One of modern climate science’s pioneers is warning that the world isn’t just steadily warming but is dangerously accelerating, according to a study that some other scientists call a bit overheated. The work from former NASA top scientist James Hansen, who since leaving the space agency has become a prominent protester against the use of […]

One of modern climate science’s pioneers is warning that the world isn’t just steadily warming but is dangerously accelerating, according to a study that some other scientists call a bit overheated. The work from former NASA top scientist James Hansen, who since leaving the space agency has become a prominent protester against the use of fossil fuels, which cause climate change, illustrates a recently surfaced division among scientists about whether global warming has kicked into ...

Tim Grist Photography/Getty Images(NEW YORK) -- Earth is already on the brink of surpassing an internationally agreed-upon threshold for climate warming, relative to pre-industrial levels, which could bring disastrous consequences to regions around the...

This year broke records in all the wrong ways. That’s the chilling conclusion of a special report on climate change published today in the journal Bioscience. “Life on planet Earth is under siege,” said William Ripple, a distinguished professor of ecology at Oregon State University and a lead author on the report. The annual “State

The trend over recent decades is stark enough, but this year stands out as evidence of accelerated warming.

One of the strangest things in this year’s report was just how hot 2023 has been. Before 2000, for example, global average daily temperature never went higher than 1.5C (2.7F) above pre-industrial levels.

The first three quarters of 2023 has seen exceptional heat globally, putting 2023 on track to be the warmest year since records began in the mid-1800s.

Guest Post by Willis Eschenbach I have the world's best science gig. I can research whatever I want, whenever I want, for as long as I want, and I don't get paid a dime no matter how hard I work. What's not to like? In any case, I got to wondering about how many temperature
