Published 2 March 2021 The threshold for dangerous global warming will likely be crossed between 2027 and 2042 – a much narrower window than the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s estimate of between now and 2052. In a new study, researchers introduce a new and more precise way to project the Earth’s temperature. Based on historical data, it considerably reduces uncertainties compared to previous approaches. The threshold for dangerous global warming will likely be crossed betwe...

 E-Mail Warming temperatures will potentially alter the climate in Alaska so profoundly later this century that the number of thunderstorms will triple, increasing the risks of widespread flash flooding, landslides, and lightning-induced wildfires, new research finds. In a pair of new papers, a research team led by scientists at the Paris Sciences and Letters University and the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR) show that the sea ice around Alaska could largely give way to open wa...

Researchers at the University of Reading and the European Centre for Medium-range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) led the first e...

Last year, in a chain of powerful storms, three of them – Gati, Nivar and Burevi – formed within a fortnight, triggering intense precipitation (File photo) PANAJI: A rise in catastrophic extreme weather events has already proved that global warming and climate change is for real. With a record eight cyclones ripping through India in 2019, weather experts realised the dimension of future doom. The year 2020 only underlined this danger in the future. If 2019 spawned a record chain of eight c...

Coronavirus vaccines deployment, fight against climate change, ambitious agenda for space science to continue in 2021 The year 2020 cannot be mentioned without the impact of COVID-19. In fact, 2020 is synonymous with COVID-19 pandemic.

Also, the Federal Government for the umpteenth time, in 2020, failed to meet the Ab...

Climate Change Weekly #383 Dishonesty has seemingly become the hallmark of reporting on climate research. In 2020, the dishonesty reached new heights as multiple studies which actually presented (or that could have presented) good news, were portrayed by the researchers involved and media hacks covering them as if they showed purported human-caused climate change was causing various disasters. The truth is, time and again, the data—often including data provided by the studies—refutes the cl...

2020 in Review: an interesting year for Skeptical Science Posted on 29 December 2020 by BaerbelW As we wrap up a truly interesting year 2020 and prepare for 2021, here is our annual review of what our team was up to during the last 12 months, most of which have obviously been dominated by the COVID-19 pandemic. As in previous recaps, this one is divided into several sections: Scholarly publications, projects and books Several members of the SkS-team were lead- or co-authors of peer-reviewed pa...

The threshold for dangerous global warming will likely be crossed between 2027 and 2042, research indicates. That’s a much narrower window than the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change’s estimate of between now and 2052. In a study published in Climate Dynamics, researchers introduce a new and more precise way to project the Earth’s temperature. Based on historical data, it considerably reduces uncertainties compared to previous approaches. Scientists have been making projections of...
