A new study shows unprecedented heat is likely to lead to the next mass extinction since the dinosaurs died out, eliminating nearly all mammals in some 250 million years time. The research, published in Nature Geoscience, presents the first-ever supercomputer climate models of the distant future and demonstrates how climate extremes will dramatically intensify when the...
New measurements of how boundary between onshore glacier and floating ice shelf glides back-and- forth could help predict melting. Most Antarctic glaciers flow straight into the ocean where they form large floating ice shelves. The grounding line is the place where the base of the ice firsts lifts off the sea floor and begins to...
The worlds of science and comic art have been brought together to deliver powerful messages about climate change. Three leading comic creators have collaborated with CONSTRAIN to develop comics exploring the climate change challenge. ‘Degrees of Change’ by Darryl Cunningham The comics feature satirical conversations between migrating polar bears and penguins, a trip to a...
Climate change sceptics and climate activists are being urged to get together to try to find common ground as part of a study by the University of Leeds. Researchers want to understand what divides people and what might bring them closer together and have partnered with the Daily Mirror newspaper for a project called “Britain...
The continued pursuit of economic growth in high income countries is at odds with the climate targets and fairness requirements of the Paris Agreement, say researchers. No high-income country has achieved what could legitimately be called “green growth” – where economic growth occurs alongside emission reductions consistent with the Paris Agreement. The authors of the study, Jefim...
