Climate scientists are confronting a hard truth: some of the most widely used models are struggling to keep up with the pace and texture of real‑world warming. The physics at their core remains sound, ...

Scientists have coupled a sophisticated vegetation and hydrology model into the ECHAM6 climate model, substantially improving ...

Hundreds of scientists in dozens of institutions are embarking on the next phase of the world’s largest coordinated climate-modelling effort. Climate-modelling groups use supercomputers to run climate ...

Fifty years into the project of modeling Earth’s future climate, we still don’t really know what’s coming. Some places are warming with more ferocity than expected. Extreme events are taking ...

Tiny marine plankton that build calcium carbonate shells play an outsized role in regulating Earth’s climate, quietly pulling carbon from the atmosphere and helping lock it away in the deep ocean. New ...

New UCLA research finds that airborne dust traps about twice as much heat as climate models have estimated, even though dust likely cools the planet overall. The effect of dust retaining heat is equal ...
