It has long been recognized that the highest-emitting regions should bear disproportionate responsibility for climate action. Now, a study shows how the highest-income individuals have specifically contributed to climate impacts worldwide.

An analysis shows that large fractions of future generations will be exposed to extreme climate events that would occur only once every 10,000 years in the absence of global warming.

The Indian summer monsoon plays a key part in influencing marine life in the Bay of Bengal. Palaeoceanographic records reveal that both extremely weak and strong monsoon phases led to declines in marine productivity. Future monsoon shifts pose a disruptive threat to the stability of regional ecosystems and fisheries.

Dermatitis-causing insects are concentrated southeast of the Heihe-Tengchong Line in China, and their distribution is projected to expand northward with increasing temperature and precipitation, according to an analysis that uses environmental, socio-economic data and Maxent modeling.

This paper uses satellite data from 2001 to 2022 to analyze soil exposure in croplands. It shows that while soil exposure duration declined in 57% of croplands, 86% face more climate extremes, threatening soil health.

California’s farmworkers require 2–32 min of rest per hour depending on season and work shift to mitigate health risks from extreme heat, according to a study using high-resolution model outputs to translate exceedances of Wet Bulb Globe Temperature thresholds into rest break requirements.

Global catastrophes such as nuclear war can generate soot that reduces the amount of light reaching the earth’s surface. Here the authors model how this kind of catastrophe would impact common crop growth, recommending increased crop diversity for agricultural resilience.

Many voices are needed in the climate change discussion to reach across society. Pope Francis is one example who offered his voice and support, in the conversation that needs to continue.

US agency guidelines nix funding for studies on climate anxiety and more but allow it for those on extreme weather and health.

It has long been recognized that the highest-emitting regions should bear disproportionate responsibility for climate action. Now, a study shows how the highest-income individuals have specifically contributed to climate impacts worldwide.

A report detailing how climate inaction will consign people born today to a lifetime of weather extremes must awaken a sense of responsibility.
