The human imperative of stabilizing global climate change at 1.5°C – Science Magazine
The need to stabilize global climate Climate change will be the greatest threat to humanity and global ecosystems in the coming years, and there is a pressing need to understand and communicate the impacts of warming, across the perspectives of…
Controlling methane is a fast and critical way to slow global warming, say Princeton experts – Princeton University
In independent studies, two Princeton University research teams recently identified surprisingly large sources of methane, a powerful greenhouse gas, being leaked into the atmosphere. Pound for pound, methane causes a far greater warming effect in the atmosphere than does carbon…
How summer 2019 was hellish for the Arctic, the frontline of climate change and global warming – Euronews
Winter is coming slowly to the Arctic. With the arrival of the autumn, the region will set into darkness and the ice and sun will have a truce after another dreadful melt season. Outside of major anomalies occurring, the ice…
The public is waking up to global warming – The Washington Post

Cutting air pollution would not cause ‘near-term spike’ in global warming – Carbon Brief
A reduction in air pollution brought about by shifting away from fossil fuels would not inadvertently cause a short-term acceleration of global warming, a new study says. Earlier modelling work using scenarios where fossil-fuel burning ends instantaneously had suggested that…
