Aquifers contain the largest store of unfrozen freshwater, making groundwater critical for life on Earth. Surprisingly little is known about how groundwater responds to surface warming across spatial and temporal scales. Focusing on diffusive heat transport, we simulate current and projected groundwater temperatures at the global scale. We show that groundwater at the depth of the water table (excluding permafrost regions) is conservatively projected to warm on average by 2.1 °C between 2000 and 2100 under a medium emissions pathway. However, regional shallow groundwater warming pat...

Record-low levels of sea ice around Antarctica in 2023 was made at least four times more likely by climate change, new research has found.In July 2023

Researchers, led by those at the British Antarctic Survey (BAS), using climate datasets and models found that Antarctic sea ice reaching historic lows would occur only once in over 2,000 years, or was "extremely unlikely" without climate change, which made the record-low levels of sea ice around Antarctica more than four times likelier.

Researchers at eBioMedicine project that climate change will significantly increase the risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in China, with human-induced warming potentially causing up to 90% of heat-related CVD deaths by 2090.
