Arctic Warming Causes Temperature Anomalies and Cold Damage in East Asia

Due to climate change, Arctic winters are getting warmer. An international study by UZH researchers shows that Arctic warming causes temperature anomalies and cold damage thousands of kilometers away in East Asia. This in turn leads to reduced vegetation growth, later blossoming, smaller harvests and reduced CO2 absorption by the forests in the region.

People’s Experiences with Climate Extremes Increase Environmental Concerns, Promote Green Voting

What role do experiences with climate change and extreme events play in shaping environmental attitudes and to what extent can they explain the recent rise in environmental concerns and willingness to vote for Green parties across Europe? IIASA researchers set out to investigate these and related issues in a new study just published in Nature Climate Change.

Changing Precipitation Patterns Alter the Population Dynamics of Tropical Butterfly Species

When we think of climate change, we often imagine how a warmer world will impact species, but a new study highlights the importance of changes in precipitation. The finding suggests that paying attention to the environmental triggers within each species' lifecycle will help us better understand how they will be affected by climate change.
