Ars Technica: A new Martian climate model suggest a mostly cold, harsh environment
Current global climate models (GCMs) support with high confidence the view that rising greenhouse gases and other anthropogenic forcings account for nearly all observed global surface warming—slightly ...

Phys.org on MSN: Why climate models and ocean observations diverge, and what it means for rain and drought
Scientific models have predicted that climate change will drive oceans in the Northern Hemisphere to warm faster than oceans in the Southern Hemisphere. However, observational data over the last 70 ...

MSN: Climate models got it wrong, and the missing data explains why
Climate scientists are confronting a hard truth: some of the most widely used models are struggling to keep up with the pace and texture of real‑world warming. The physics at their core remains sound, ...
Over that period, average global sea level has: Sea level is a global climate change indicator. Through continuous long-term measurements of global sea level, scientists can see the ocean’s role in climate and the effects of a changing climate on the ocean. Since 1993, global mean sea level has risen by about 4 inches (10 centimeters).
NASA and the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) have released a guide that provides resources for adapting to and mitigating impacts of climate change. The guide, Building Alliances for Climate Action, includes various perspectives, stories, insights, and resources about climate change to help individuals and organizations make informed decisions.
A large amount of physical evidence shows that carbon dioxide (CO2) is the single most important greenhouse gas in the atmosphere controlling Earth's temperature. This is because CO2, like ozone, N2O, CH4, and chlorofluorocarbons, does not condense and precipitate from the atmosphere at current climate temperatures, whereas water vapor can and does.
The leading cause of coral bleaching is rising ocean temperatures due to climate change. Although runoff and pollutants, sunlight, and low tides can impact coral, those impacts normally occur near the shoreline in shallow waters.
Clouds and aerosols are two of the most important, but least understood, aspects of climate change. How much do you know about them?
Earth has many processes that regulate carbon, atmospheric carbon dioxide and its role in the carbon cycle and climate. How much do you know?

SciTechDaily: Climate Change Is Altering a Key Greenhouse Gas in a Way Scientists Didn’t Expect
The lifetime of nitrous oxide is decreasing more quickly than expected, which is changing climate projections.
Climate Change Is Altering a Key Greenhouse Gas in a Way Scientists Didn’t Expect
We've been watching temperatures climb, extreme weather events intensify, and ice sheets shrink. Every weather forecast and climate projection relies on incredibly complex computer simulations that ...
The collapse of a critical ocean current system—an event that would upend Earth’s climate and wreak havoc on the Americas, Europe, and Africa—has been the subject of heated scientific debate for more ...
Phys.org: Ancient Maya droughts may have been fueled by Earth's own climate swings
Dramatic droughts linked to the decline of the Classic Maya civilization approximately 800 to 1000 CE may not have required any external trigger, according to a new climate modeling study. Instead, ...
Ancient Maya droughts may have been fueled by Earth's own climate swings
Parts of Oregon and Washington are experiencing back-to-back atmospheric river events in less than a week. Oregon’s state climatologist says a changing climate will make these types of storms stronger ...
For decades, scientists have meticulously tracked and modeled Earth's climate, building an increasingly detailed picture of global warming. Yet, the complex dance of atmospheric gases, ocean currents, ...
Phys.org: Rethinking climate change: Natural variability, solar forcing, model uncertainties, and policy implications
Rethinking climate change: Natural variability, solar forcing, model uncertainties, and policy implications
How do you measure climate change? One way is by recording temperatures in different places over a long period of time. While this works well, natural variation can make it harder to see longer-term ...
A new wave of climate research is sounding a stark warning: Human activity may be driving drought more intensely – and more directly – than previously understood. This drought has been linked to the ...
Market Rules According to the US Environmental Information Centers of Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), November 2023 was the warmest month ever in the world since it began recording global temperature 144 years ago. This "milestone" is yet another alarm of the climate crisis arising from human activity, and raises questions about the measurements for the coming months.
