Anthropogenic greenhouse gases and aerosols are associated with climate change and
human health risks. We used a global model to estimate the climate and public health …

Research reported during the past decade has shown that global warming is roughly
proportional to the total amount of carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere. This makes …

Despite considerable advances in process understanding, numerical modeling, and the
observational record of ice sheet contributions to global mean sea-level rise (SLR) since the …

This much is clear: the Arctic is warming fast, and frozen soils are starting to thaw, often for
the first time in thousands of years. But how this happens is as murky as the mud that oozes …

Extremely high temperatures pose an immediate threat to humans and ecosystems. In
recent years, many regions on land and in the ocean experienced heat waves with …

Anthropogenic global warming at a given time is largely determined by the cumulative total
emissions (or stock) of long-lived climate pollutants (LLCPs), predominantly carbon dioxide …

Climate science seeks to make statements of confidence about what has happened, and
what will happen (conditional on scenario). The approach is effective for the global …

BACKGROUND Responding effectively to climate change requires urgent action to halt net
greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and to adapt to changes that cannot be prevented. The …

The sky view factor (SVF) is essential to describe the urban climatology at scales below
100m. This proxy for net radiation depends on the height of the obstacles in its surroundings …

A reduction in global meat consumption can significantly reduce the adverse environmental
effects of the food system, but it would require widespread dietary changes. Such shifts to …
