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)
A health check for the Earth @ the London `Catastrophes` conference
The condition of our environment at any time reflects not only human influences but also natural processes and phenomena, which may be causing change - whether or not people are present. So how do we know when humans are to blame and when it`s just the environment behaving `naturally`. At Brunel University`s `Environmental Catastrophes`... view more... (2002-08-17)
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)
Prominent researchers advocate creation of national climate service
It's time for the United States to have a national climate service - an interagency partnership led by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and charged with understanding climate dynamics, forecasts and impacts - say six members of the University of Washington's Climate Impacts Group. Their views appear online this week in the early... view more... (2006-11-29)
University launches new initiative for Earth System Modelling

Modern physics is critical to global warming research
Science has come a long way with predicting climate. Increasingly sophisticated models and instruments can zero in on a specific storm formation or make detailed weather forecasts - all useful to our daily lives. But to understand global climate change, scientists need more than just a one-day forecast. They need a deeper understanding of the... view more... (2008-03-12)
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)
Has the mystery of the Antarctic ice sheet been solved?
A team of scientists from Cardiff University's School of Earth and Ocean Sciences and Amgueddfa Cymru - National Museum Wales travelled to Africa to find new evidence of climate change which helps explain some of the mystery surrounding the appearance of the Antarctic ice sheet. view more (2008-02-28)
Hotting up - first results from the 'Earth Simulator' supercomputer
The first results from British and Japanese researchers working with the world's largest computer, the gigantic Earth Simulator supercomputer in Japan, are being showcased at a climate workshop which starts today at Cambridge University. Professor Julia Slingo, the Director of the NCAS Centre for Global Atmospheric Modelling said: "These... view more... (2003-09-25)
Impact of global warming on weather patterns underestimated
The impact of global warming on European weather patterns has been underestimated, according to a new report published in Nature this week. view more (2005-09-22)
Yale report cites emerging carbon finance market
Climate change is an unprecedented global problem and an emerging carbon finance market will play a critical role in addressing it, asserts a newly published Yale report. view more (2008-11-07)
Climate shifts — probability of randomness
Severe climate changes during the last ice-age could have been caused by random chaotic variations on Earth and not governed by external periodic influences from the Sun. This has been shown in new calculations by a researcher at the Niels Bohr Institute, Copenhagen University. view more (2007-03-12)
Climate Change"¦ The Facts
Further proof of the reality of climate change was made available to the planet today with the publication of Climate Change 2001. The three volumes, running to some 2,600 pages, are published by Cambridge University Press on behalf of the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC). Together they form the most comprehensive picture of the... view more... (2001-07-11)
2000 meters deep in Antarctic ice
European ice core drilling project at Kohnen station retrieves old ice for climate research. At the Kohnen station operated by Alfred-Wegener-Institute for Polar- and Marine Research, Bremerhaven, the international drilling team reached a depth of 2000 meters on January 7 at 0210 hours. The ice from that depth is about 100.000 years old and yields... view more... (2004-01-08)
Increase in atmospheric moisture tied to human activities
Observations and climate model results confirm that human-induced warming of the planet is having a pronounced effect on the atmosphere's total moisture content. view more (2007-09-18)
Scientists develop malaria forecasting tool to predict disease risk
A new tool to predict epidemics of malaria up to five months in advance has been developed by a scientist at the University of Liverpool. view more (2006-02-07)
Climate change will affect carbon sequestration in oceans, model shows
The direct injection of carbon dioxide deep into the ocean has been suggested as one method to help control rising carbon dioxide levels in the atmosphere and mitigate the effects of global warming. view more (2005-09-08)
Sunlight has more powerful influence on ocean circulation and climate than North American ice sheets
A study reported in today's issue of Nature disputes a longstanding picture of how ice sheets influence ocean circulation during glacial periods. view more (2008-11-07)
New observations and climate model data confirm recent warming of the tropical atmosphere
For the first time, new climate observations and computer models provide a consistent picture of recent warming of the tropical atmosphere. view more (2005-08-12)
