Atmospheric rivers can melt fragile new sea ice. When these storms arrive in waves, the sea ice doesn’t have a chance to recover.

Mountaineer and scientist Will Steffen said climbing was similar to science: “That’s the buzz you get in science when you solve a big problem and suddenly see how it all fits together”

A new image has been taken of the whole Earth 50 years after the first - revealing noticeable changes to its surface.
Deep ‘blue holes,’ like this one off Belize, can collect evidence of hurricanes.

High intensity rain has actually increased, which is topping up underground water stores.
The Aletsch Glacier in Switzerland is the largest in the Alps. A century ago it was several kilometres longer and several hundred metres thicker.

The findings of a new study suggest mistrust in climate science and uncritical faith in “alternative science” lead people to reject consensus science and generate alternative explanations.

The place where oceans turn into ice holds the key to understanding some of the complex interactions of Earth’s climate. Thankfully, we’re making progress.

The tropics are projected to face almost daily dangerous heat by 2100. And “extremely dangerous” heat that’s almost unheard of today will occur more often in several regions.

Flood risks are rising as the climate warms. The risks are complex, as a levee or new roadway in one place can worsen flooding somewhere else.

But new research offers some hope if we are able to keep climate change under control.
During ice ages, ice sheets like the one in Greenland have covered much of Earth’s surface.

The Earth has had at least five major ice ages, and humans showed up in time for the most recent one. In fact, we’re still in it.

Global warming is changing the high-altitude autumn winds over southeast Australia, which means less rain and trouble for air travel.
