On September 27 2013 the 5th Assessment Report by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will be released. One part of this report will address the so-called “warming hiatus”. This is the…

Warmer climates are shrinking Tibetan glaciers at their summits, researchers have discovered. A study has shown that the…
The climate changes observed today are undoubtedly not caused by the sun or any other natural factors says new research…
Gorgonian corals, described by some scientists as the animal forests of the ocean, seem to be proliferating in the Caribbean…
The cooling of eastern Pacific Ocean waters has been counteracting the warming effect of greenhouse gases. Our research, released today in Nature, shows this natural variability in ocean cycles is responsible…
Different moorland plants, particularly heather and cotton grass, can strongly influence climate warming effects on greenhouse…
Recent global climate models (GCMs) indicate large uncertainty as to whether the recent wetting trend in most of the Pilbara…
A review of research data from almost 400 scientists in 52 countries has concluded that policy makers need to adapt to “the new normal” of rising world temperatures and the changes they bring. The US National…
Global warming is primarily driven by increasing emissions of greenhouse gases from human activities. Chief among these gases is carbon dioxide (CO2), which warms the planet by trapping heat that would…
Research from the University of Melbourne and Victoria University has generated more reliable global warming estimates at…
Today we released research which reduces the range of uncertainty in future global warming. It does not alter the fact we will never be certain about how, exactly, the climate will change. We always have…
Has global warming stalled? This question is increasingly being asked because the local weather seems cool and wet, or because the global mean temperature is not increasing at its earlier rate or the long-term…
Surveying data from 1872 has been used with modern observations to help confirm the anthropogenic rise of the oceans. The…
Measurements recorded over 135 years ago during an expedition of the HMS Challenger has provided researchers with evidence…
A new study published today suggests that the short-term warming due to increasing greenhouse gases may be less than previously feared. However, when we look at the bigger picture, we still find that climate…
The melting of glaciers accounts for one third of observed sea level rise, according to new research published in Science…
Clouds caused by air pollution have been overestimated in their ability to to reflect sunlight back into space, thus helping…
Researchers at the University of Bristol created a model to test the benefits of cooling ocean temperatures for coral reefs…
Global warming could have a more drastic effect on biodiversity than expected if changes are not made to limit emissions…
The past 100 years have seen a drastic reversal in global temperature trends when compared with historical temperature data…
