Open access notables Human influence on climate detectable in the late 19th century , Santer et al., Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences When could scientists have first known that fossil fuel burning was significantly altering global climate? We attempt to answer this question by performing a thought experiment with model simulations of historical climate change. We assume that the capability to monitor global-scale changes in atmospheric temperature existed as early as 1860 and that the instruments available in this hypothetical world had the same accuracy as today’s satellite-borne microwave radiometers. We then apply a pattern-based “fingerprint” method to disentangle human and natural effects on climate. A human-caused stratospheric...

1.5 Degrees C: Understanding World’s Critical Warming Threshold shannon.paton@… Wed, 06/18/2025 - 14:35 Nearly a decade ago, the world rallied around the Paris Agreement on climate change and the goal of holding global temperature rise to 1.5 degrees C (2.7 degrees F). Since then, the “1.5C goal” has become the world’s North Star for climate action — a critical benchmark against which policies are set and progress is measured. But an alarming wave of recent data underscores just how close we are to surpassing this widely cited threshold. Atmospheric concentration of carbon dioxide reached its highest level in 2 million years last year. 2024 also marked the first single year in which global average surface temperature rose more than 1.5 degrees C above pre-industrial...

This is a re-post from The Climate Brink Over at Carbon Brief I have a new detailed explainer on aerosols. They have a major (but poorly constrained) cooling effect on the climate, masking about 0.5C warming from CO2 and other greenhouse gases that would otherwise have occurred. However, we are rapidly reducing both aerosol emissions and their resulting climate cooling effect. Global emissions of SO2, the most important aerosol, have fallen by 40% since the mid?2000s. China has cut its SO2 emissions more than 70% over the same period. This is a good thing; SO2 is a major precursor to PM2.5, which is responsible for millions of deaths from outdoor air pollution worldwide. But reductions to clean the air are quickly unmasking more warming from our...

Rolling coverage of the latest economic and financial news Trump says UK is protected from tariffs ‘because I like them’ as trade deal is signed off Iran and Israel crisis: what does it mean for the price of oil? Global oil supply is set to increase “far” faster than demand in the coming years, the International Energy Agency has predicted. In a new report, the IEA argues that oil markets are undergoing structural changes as the key drivers of supply and demand growth of the past 15 years start to fade. This growth is set to be dominated by robust gains in natural gas liquids (NGLs) and other non-crude liquids. The strategic shift towards higher non-crude capacity is driven by strong global demand for petrochemical feedstocks and the development of liquid‑rich gas resources...

In the last few decades, the Arctic sea ice has receded ever further, including increasingly in winter when the extent of sea ice is at its most prominent. One of the main drivers of this development is thought to be the warming of Atlantic water that flows from Europe’s Norwegian Sea into the Arctic Ocean, passing through the Barents Sea and the Fram Strait in the process. However, not all the Atlantic water flowing into the Barents Sea reaches the sea ice. Part of the Atlantic water recirculates, i.e. by changing direction and flowing back into Europe’s Norwegian Sea as an independent current without coming into direct contact with the sea ice. To date, however, it has not been possible to sufficiently investigate the indirect effect of this current carrying inflowing Atlantic water back...

The main way this will impact UK businesses and the economy is through higher oil and natural gas prices. Indeed, oil prices have risen by about $10 per barrel (pb) in the last week. The most immediate impact will be on prices at the pump. A $10pb rise in oil prices will probably...
Ice jams will become more frequent in the Yellow River’s estuary by the end of this century, hitting Chinese coastal cities such as those in eastern Shandong province, according to a new study. When warmer weather arrives in late winter and early spring, upstream ice begins to break apart and drift downstream. This ice then reaches colder downstream areas, where it can refreeze and accumulate, forming ice jams. The localised hazard can be highly destructive. Flooding can occur behind the...

The documentary shows the damage that fishing does to our planet. So why does the industry still hold governments to ransom? I have been saying this a lot recently: “At last!” At last, a mainstream film bluntly revealing the plunder of our seas. At last, a proposed ban on bottom trawling in so-called “ marine protected areas ” (MPAs). At last, some solid research on seabed carbon and the vast releases caused by the trawlers ploughing it up. But still I feel that almost everyone is missing the point. David Attenborough’s Ocean film, made for National Geographic, is the one I’ve been waiting for all my working life. An epoch ago, when I worked in the BBC’s Natural History Unit in the mid-1980s, some of us lobbied repeatedly for films like this, without success. Since then, even programmes...

Open access notables A Rapid Deterioration of the Transmissive Atmospheric Radiative Regime in the Western Arctic , Bertossa & L’Ecuyer, Geophysical Research Letters: The tendency for the atmosphere to reside in one of two radiative states (“transmissive” or “opaque”) is unique to the high latitudes. This phenomenon makes the Arctic climate particularly sensitive to change if the conditions that support one of these states vanish. This study examines 25 years of in-situ data from the North Slope of Alaska to investigate how these two states have changed over time. While November once had nearly equal occurrences of both states, the transmissive state has almost completely disappeared, resulting in an increase of over 30 W/m2 in...

On the Path to Net Zero, How Do We Address ‘Leftover' Emissions? margaret.overh… Wed, 06/11/2025 - 12:00 The world needs to reach net-zero emissions — a balancing point where the amount of greenhouse gases emitted into the atmosphere is equal to the amount removed — by around 2050 to limit warming to 1.5 degrees C (2.7 degrees F) and avoid rapidly worsening climate impacts. More than 100 countries , covering over 80% of global greenhouse gas emissions, have already set have a net-zero target. Actions to cut emissions, like scaling up clean energy or switching to electric vehicles, can get us most of the way to net zero. But they won't get us all the way. Some emissions will very likely be leftover by midcentury, whether because the technology to eliminate them...
