The Working Group I contribution to the IPCC’s Fifth Assessment Report (AR5) considers new evidence of climate change based on many independent scientific analyses from observations of the climate system, paleoclimate archives, theoretical studies of climate processes and simulations using climate models. It builds upon the Working Group I contribution to the IPCC’s Fourth […]
The visualisation, comprised of imagery from the geostationary satellites of EUMETSAT, NOAA and the JMA, shows an entire year of weather across the globe during 2013, with commentary from Mark Higgins, Training Officer at EUMETSAT. The satellite data layer is superimposed over NASA’s ‘Blue Marble Next Generation’ ground maps, which change with the seasons …/…

Climate changes are currently the subject of intense scientific research and many questions are being asked by the general public, but on the other hand there is an obvious failure on the part of politicians to make decisions. This is very strange since so many factors contribute to our awareness of the interactions that take place at planetary scale […]
Addressing climate change impacts is a relatively new application of the planning process (see Box 1). Climate change planning can refer to either reducing greenhouse gas emissions due to human activity (often called ”mitigation”) or adapting human and natural environments to the potential impacts of climate change. Although these two approaches are not necessarily mutually exclusive, most planning efforts focus on either emissions […]
