Scientists have found that trees in cities respond to higher temperatures differently than those in forests, potentially masking climate impacts. It’s tricky to predict precisely what the impacts of climate change will be, given the many variables involved. To predict the impacts of a warmer world on plant life, some researchers look at urban “heat …

The El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) is a cornerstone of global climatic variability, with its warm phase, El Niño, significantly influencing weather patterns across the globe. As the Earth continues to warm due to human-induced climate change, understanding how El Niño might evolve is critical for predicting future climate dynamics and preparing for their impacts. …

Global warming in 2023 hit 1.48 degrees Celsius, data published Tuesday shows, as the hottest year on record propelled the world just hundredths of a degree away from a critical climate threshold. Analyses last year had already confirmed 2023 to be the warmest on record, but Tuesday’s data shows an alarming leap in heating from 2016, previously the hottest …
