Pump prices and Pompeii crisis
The price of petrol at any station in Yorkshire can be predicted to the nearest 0.5p per litre by a new computer model developed by geography PhD student Alison Heppenstall at the University of Leeds. She found that the location of a station is just as likely to affect the pump cost as changes in oil prices. view more (2004-09-29)
Southern Ocean could slow global warming
The Southern Ocean may slow the rate of global warming by absorbing significantly more heat and carbon dioxide than previously thought, according to new research. view more (2006-12-06)
Statement From Secretary Of State Margaret Beckett Supporting The Launch Of The British Council's Climate Change Communications Initiative
Margaret Beckett, Environment, Food and Rural Affairs Secretary, welcomed the launch of the British Council's global climate change communications programme. view more (2005-03-02)
NASA study suggests extreme summer warming in the future
A new study by NASA scientists suggests that greenhouse-gas warming may raise average summer temperatures in the eastern United States nearly 10 degrees Fahrenheit by the 2080s. view more (2007-05-10)
New ORNL theory aims to explain recent temperature, climate extremes
Using an ocean of data, sophisticated mathematical models and supercomputing resources, researchers at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory are putting climate models to the test with particular focus on weather extremes. view more (2007-06-13)
Marine fossils improve predictions of climate change
A study of the ancient Mediterranean Sea will help to produce more accurate predictions of climate change. A team led by Royal Holloway geologist Dr Michal Kucera will map sea-surface temperature of the Mediterranean over past millennia. The data will provide a new target to test the computer models on which our predictions of climate change are... view more... (2002-06-06)
Scientists aim to bring indigenous people into climate change monitoring and policy
Scientists at the Missouri Botanical Garden are calling for the inclusion of indigenous peoples around the world in helping monitor the effects of global climate change and develop policy. view more (2009-05-13)
Climate change predicted to drive trees northward
The most extensive and detailed study to date of 130 North American tree species concludes that expected climate change this century could shift their ranges northward by hundreds of kilometers and shrink the ranges by more than half. view more (2007-12-03)
Press Invitation: Launch of Climate Strategies
PRESS INVITATION Launch of Climate Strategies Monday 9 July 1.00 - 2.30 pm at Chatham House, St James's Square, London YOU ARE INVITED TO ATTEND THE LAUNCH MEETING OF CLIMATE STRATEGIES - A NEW INTERNATONAL ORGANISATION, SPONSORED BY THE SHELL FOUNDATION, INTENDED TO SUPPORT COHESIVE POLICY RESPONSES TO CLIMATE CHANGE. Following the international... view more... (2001-07-02)
Global warming could lead to a greener Greenland (embargoed until 18.00 BST)
Research published in Nature suggests that enough greenhouse gases could be in the atmosphere as early as 2050 to melt the massive ice-sheet that covers Greenland. As a result, sea levels could rise by around seven metres over the next 1,000 years. Along with colleagues in Belgium and Germany, Dr Jonathan Gregory, of the Centre for Global... view more...

Iowa State researchers work to track North American climate change
Gene Takle begins talks about climate change with some strong statements. "There is no question now that the climate is changing on a global scale," says Takle, an Iowa State University professor of geological and atmospheric sciences and agronomy. "The evidence is so overwhelming." view more (2007-08-07)
Chemical Industry Gives Mixed Response to Greenhouse Gas Emissions Trading Scheme
The Chemical Industries Association (CIA) today expressed concern that the UK's allocation of greenhouse gas emissions is still not finally decided, but applauded the UK Government's decision to press the European Commission for approval of the revised limits. view more (2005-02-15)
How to limit risk of climate catastrophe
A new analysis of climate risk, published by researchers at MIT and elsewhere, shows that even moderate carbon-reduction policies now can substantially lower the risk of future climate change. view more (2009-10-05)
Where Does the North Pole Ice Come From? The Origin of the Northern Hemisphere Ice Age
Large areas of the Northern Hemisphere are currently covered with ice. This has, however, not always been the case. In the current issue of the science magazine "Nature", scientists from the GeoForschungsZentrum Potsdam (GFZ) and the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) present a possible solution for the oldest mystery of palaeo... view more...

Global warming predictions are overestimated, suggests study on black carbon
A detailed analysis of black carbon -- the residue of burned organic matter -- in computer climate models suggests that those models may be overestimating global warming predictions. view more (2008-11-20)
Warmer air may cause increased Antarctic sea ice cover
Predicted increases in precipitation due to warmer air temperatures from greenhouse gas emissions may actually increase sea ice volume in the Antarctic's Southern Ocean. view more (2005-06-30)
Research finds that Earth's climate is approaching 'dangerous' point
NASA and Columbia University Earth Institute research finds that human-made greenhouse gases have brought the Earth's climate close to critical tipping points, with potentially dangerous consequences for the planet. view more (2007-06-01)
Climate change aims need to be better integrated
Specific measures to tackle climate change, such as emissions trading, will only be successful if they are coherently supported by other government policies addressing economic and social issues, says a report published today by the Partnership for European Environmental Research (PEER). PEER membership is formed from seven of the biggest European... view more... (2009-03-27)
Limited climate tracking in European trees despite 10,000 years of postglacial warmth
The relative roles of environment and history as controls of large-scale species distributions is a crucial issue in biogeography and macroecology. In the forthcoming issue of Ecology Letters Svenning & Skov use bioclimatic modelling to show that among 55 native European tree species, 36 occupy less than 50% of their climatically suitable... view more...

Southampton scientists unravel 8,200-year-old climate riddle
Palaeoceanographers from the Southampton Oceanography Centre have shed new light on the world's climate behaviour over 8,200 years ago. In an article published this week in Nature, they demonstrate that a sudden drop in temperature lasting 200 years cannot be used as a template for the modern day threat of rapid climate change. view more (2005-04-21)
