A photo of the Arctic Professor Jonathan Bamber University researchers have helped secure £13million for an Arctic research project that will track the rapidly changing fortunes of the frozen north. The Arctic is on the frontline of global climate change, warming at twice the speed of the rest of the world. Last year alone saw record summer temperatures in Siberia, wildfires rage across sensitive northern tundra and Arctic sea ice shrunk to its smallest ever extent. N...

Climate change causes one-third of heat-related deaths Huge proportion of global heat-related deaths already attributed to rising temperatures. Credit: Robert Lang Photography / Getty Images The climate crisis is not a future problem – it is already here and affecting our health. In the biggest study of its kind, a team of epidemiologists and climate scientists has determined that 37% of global heat-related deaths over the past 30 years can be attributed to human-induced climate change. The s...

As climate change heats up the world, heatwaves are becoming more ubiquitous. A new study finds that about 37 percent of heat-related deaths are attributable to human-caused climate change.

New research is quantifying the rate at which intense summer heat brought on by human-induced climate change is killing humans around the world.More

Cabot Institute for the Environmentmenu About the project or challenge area One of the more well-understood impacts of climate change is an intensification of heatwaves. Yet, for Africa, arguably the most vulnerable continent, there have only been a handful of scientific papers written about heatwaves. Meanwhile, evidence from recent observations and climate model projections indicates that African countries experience some of the largest increases in temperature extremes with global warming. T...
