Exposure to Extreme Combinations of Heat and Humidity has Tripled Since the 1980s, Study Finds

A new study of more than 13,000 cities worldwide has found that the number of person-days in which inhabitants are exposed to extreme combinations of heat and humidity has tripled since the 1980s.

Extremely Hot Years may Wipe Out Tonnes of Fish Available for Catch, UBC Study Projects

Extremely hot years will wipe out hundreds of thousands of tonnes of fish available for catch in a country's waters in this century, on top of projected decreases to fish stocks from long-term climate change, a new UBC study projects.

Brazilian Amazon Exposed to Lethal Heat Stress Due to Deforestation, Climate Change

Along with climate change, extensive deforestation of the Amazon rainforest will increase the number of people in northern Brazil who are at risk of extreme heat—with potentially fatal results and disastrous economic impacts, according to a pioneering study released recently by Brazilian scientists in the Communications Earth & Environment journal.

Major Ocean Current may Warm Greatly with Increased Carbon Dioxide Levels

A new study led by researchers at Binghamton University, State University of New York found that the Kuroshio Current Extension is sensitive to global climate change and has the potential to warm greatly with increased carbon dioxide levels.

Study Reveals Double Benefit of Limiting Global Warming for Tropical Cyclone Exposure

The global ambition is to limit warming to well below two degrees, yet compared to unmitigated climate change even reaching two degree Celsius of global warming 50 years later could lead to a quite different outcome, as an interdisciplinary team of scientists from Germany, Switzerland and the US found in a computer-based analysis: Until 2100, population models project an unforced, regular declining population in cyclone prone areas on a global scale.

Effects of Climate Change are Disproportionally Affecting Future Generations

An international research team guided by Prof. Wim Thiery of the Vrije Universiteit Brussel (VUB) research group BCLIMATE reveals that children are to endure disproportionate increases in extreme event exposure during their lifetimes, particularly in low-income nations.

Warming in the Coastal Northeastern US Linked to Drastic Changes in Ocean, Atmospheric Conditions Over the North Atlantic

New research, led by the University of Massachusetts Amherst reveals, for the first time, not only that the coastal Northeast—from Maine to Delaware—is heating faster than most regions of North America, but that this heating is linked to drastic alterations in the ocean and atmospheric conditions over the North Atlantic.

Intensification of Global Hydrological Cycle Moderates the Pace of Global Warming

A new study led by scientists at the University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, in collaboration with scientists at Princeton University, shows that the intensification of global hydrological cycle drives more ocean heat uptake into the deep ocean and moderates the pace of global warming.
