Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum: A Potential Analog of Current Global Warming

56 million years ago, the Earth experienced one of the largest and most rapid climate warming events in its history: the Paleocene-Eocene Thermal Maximum (PETM), which has similarities to current and future warming.

Heavy Industry in Australia Could Decarbonise, Help Limit Warming to 1.5 degrees and Create Up to 1.35 million Jobs: New Report Outlines Pathways

A new report has, for the first time in Australia, outlined decarbonisation pathways that show it is possible for five of Australia's most significant heavy industry supply chains to transition to net zero, consistent with global efforts to limit warming to 1.5 ºC.

First Spatial Field Reconstruction of European Summer Hydroclimate Based on Tree-Ring Isotopes

The 2015–2018 summer droughts have been exceptional in large parts of Western and Central Europe over the last 400 years, in terms of the magnitude of drought conditions. This indicates an influence of man-made global warming.
