Internal climate variability refers to the natural fluctuations arising from the chaotic interactions within the atmosphere, ocean, cryosphere and land surface. Ensemble climate models exploit this ...

Environmental scientists are increasingly using enormous artificial intelligence models to make predictions about changes in weather and climate, but a new study by MIT researchers shows that bigger ...

Human-caused warming needs about 30 years of records to rise above natural swings, and seven climate models get the wait ...

Global warming does not affect our planet evenly. Some areas such as the Arctic region or high mountain peaks warm faster than the global average, whereas others, including large parts of the tropical ...

Tiny marine plankton that build calcium carbonate shells play an outsized role in regulating Earth’s climate, quietly pulling carbon from the atmosphere and helping lock it away in the deep ocean. New ...

As Africa prepares for the arrival of a powerful El Niño weather event, an international team of researchers led by the ...

One of the most pervasive misunderstandings of climate — even among some who publish on climate — is the belief that any long-term trend in a measured climate variable indicates a change in climate, ...

Coral skeletons reveal El Niño is stronger than at any point in 1,000 years. Scientists say human-caused climate change is the reason.

El Nino climate change research: a landmark University of Michigan study published in Science finds El Ninos are now more than 36 percent stronger than before the industrial era, based on 900 years of ...
