Earth’s growing heat imbalance driven more by clouds than air pollution, study finds

University of Miami Rosenstiel School of Marine, Atmospheric, and Earth Science
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Satellite and reanalysis data show aerosol changes in the Northern and Southern Hemispheres largely cancel out, shifting attention to cloud changes due to surface warming and natural climate variability.

Feedback loops accelerate warming, other atmospheric changes in Arctic

Penn State
Peer-Reviewed Publication

The climate is changing and nowhere is it changing faster than at Earth’s poles. Researchers at Penn State have painted a comprehensive picture of the chemical processes taking place in the Arctic and found that there are multiple, separate interactions impacting the atmosphere.

AMS Science Preview: Volcanic rain, dust storms, and unstable Antarctic air

American Meteorological Society
Peer-Reviewed Publication

Early online research published in journals of the American Meteorological Society highlights topics including a change in airflow over the Antarctic Peninsula, rural heat, hot and dry extremes in India, a major upgrade to the UK's Global Seasonal forecasting system (GloSea6), and an unusual trigger of volcanic rain.

Green initiatives can increase emissions but still benefit the climate

Aarhus University
Peer-Reviewed Publication

New research shows that the green transition in agriculture is more complex than first assumed. The research indicates that green political decisions need to take the entire system into account.

Category ‘6’ tropical cyclone hot spots are growing

American Geophysical Union
Reports and Proceedings

The oceanic conditions that churn up the very strongest of hurricanes and typhoons are heating up in the North Atlantic and Western Pacific, fueled by warm water that extends well below the surface. Human-caused climate change may be responsible for up to 70% of the growth of storm-brewing hotspots there, according to new research to be presented at AGU’s 2025 Annual Meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Wednesday, 17 December.
