Strong and consistent evidence shows that the entire climate system is continuing to heat, driving rapid global warming. Human activities pushed global warming to 1.37°C in 2025, and its level is projected to surpass 1.5°C in about four years. Crucially, the rate at which heat is accumulating in the Earth system suggests high levels of...
The Climate Change Committee (CCC) recently published the Fourth Climate Change Risk Assessment – Independent Assessment (CCRA4‑IA), a comprehensive evidence base on the risks climate change poses to the UK and the actions needed to strengthen resilience. CCRA4‑IA consists of a Met Office‑led Technical Report and a CCC‑led Well-Adapted UK Report. The assessment combines up‑to‑date...
Leading climate scientists are urging world governments to commission the first authoritative global climate‑risk assessment, warning that the world is dangerously unprepared for the accelerating and interacting threats posed by climate change. Their call follows a new commentary led by Met Office experts and published in Nature, highlighting a “critical gap” in how global climate...
Deforestation in tropical countries could contribute to increased deaths from heat exposure in nearby populations, new research has shown. Published today in the journal Nature Climate Change, the research was led by Dr Carly Reddington and Professor Dominick Spracklen, from the University of Leeds’ School of Earth and Environment. The study, which analysed areas across Central and South...
Researchers have analysed more than 400,000 studies using big data technology, providing a new way of dealing with the rapid growth of scientific literature. This landmark new study, which is the first to map out the content of hundreds of thousands of scientific articles covering the breadth of climate change research, suggests that research on...
