Ars Technica: New technique shows old temperatures were much hotter than thought. Results imply Earth may be more sensitive to carbon dioxide than previously known. In a paper recently published in Science, Professor Nele Meckler of the University of Bergen and colleagues argue that the climate between around 35 and 60 million years ago may have been…
Climate change status quo and scenarios. Speaker: Hans Joachim Schellnhuber, Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), Director Emeritus Date: March 2021 Location: Berlin
ABC News’ Zohreen Shah reports on climate change fueling dire drought conditions in California, drying up reservoirs critical to California residents.
World leaders are in England for the annual G7 summit. One of the big issues being discussed at the summit will be climate change. The United Kingdom government wants to see deep cuts in carbon emissions, and big spending on technology to remove carbon from the atmosphere. From Plymouth, Al Jazeera’s Jonah Hull reports on…
Climate change is causing Canadian lakes to lose oxygen at a much faster rate than the world’s oceans.
CarbonBrief recently published a guest article by Robert M. DeConto, Pamela Pearson, and David Pollard, called Overshooting 2C risks rapid and unstoppable sea level rise from Antarctica. Here is now a text-to-speech conversation for people who like to listen to it. Visit Overshooting 2C risks rapid and unstoppable sea level rise from Antarctica to follow…
In this talk from October 2019, Eric Rignot suggests the possibility of 4 meters of sea level rise per century. Just extrapolating based on Antarctic marine glaciers retreating would yield the figure Notes a new model with results in the ballpark Notes the figure is in agreement with past sea level rise estimates Not mentioned…

Flood basalts and mass extinctions – ancient hyperthermals as analogs for anthropogenic climate change. Oceanic Anoxic Event (OAE) and mass extinctions are considered to be hyperthermals – usually associated with flood basalt eruptions.[2] Phases of rapid global warming, known collectively as hyperthermals.[1] Flood basalts are a subset of large igneous provinces (LIPs), the terms flood basalt…
