All hope is not lost when it comes to the decline of coral reefs due to mass coral bleaching events. This is because scientists recently discovered over 64,000 square miles (nearly a third of the world’s reef systems) of coral reefs they believe can withstand future warming.

If you have been keeping up with the World Cup 2026, you have probably seen several headlines addressing weather conditions in host regions leading up to and during matches.

When Tropical Cyclones (TCs) recurve up the East Coast, the heaviest rainfall doesn’t always fall under the storm’s main rain shield. Sometimes, it shows up well ahead of the storm, in a completely separate location. This is called a Predecessor Rainfall Event (PRE), first defined by Cote (2007).

While attribution science doesn’t tell us whether an event would or would not have happened in a world without human-caused warming, it does tell us how much more severe the event was because of climate change. For example, multiple attribution studies were conducted after Hurricane Helene in 2024.

For May’s Speaker Series, we have Dr. Ellen Peters speaking on “From evidence to action: Using behavioral science to communicate climate change and health.” This will take place on Zoom on Thursday, May 21st at 2 pm ET / 1 pm CT / 12 pm MT. Register here: osu.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Natural disturbances such as wildfires, insect outbreaks, and windstorms are highly sensitive to changes in the climate system, and these disturbances can substantially change ecosystems and forests.

The first week of May is Air Quality Awareness Week (AQAW)! Each year, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) shares different air quality topics to teach people how to prepare for poor air quality events. The EPA will share a new topic related to air quality each day of the week.

Happy Earth Day🌎 The single most impactful thing we can do combat climate change is to talk about it. That’s why, this Earth Day, we are doubling down on our mission. If you would like to support us in this effort, please consider giving at theclimateconsensus.org/support-tcc 🌱

The Climate Consensus @climateconsensus.bsky.social · 4mo ago

The Climate Consensus is actively seeking dedicated individuals to join our Board of Directors and help shape the future of our work! This is a volunteer position, and no prior board experience is required - just a passion for our mission and a willingness to contribute your skills!

The US Forest Service was first established in 1905 and has since grown to steward over 150 national forests and 20 national grasslands totaling over 190 million acres. When we think of national forests, we often think of recreation: hiking, exploring, camping, picnicking, and so much more.

Given the widespread consequences of increasing global surface air temperatures, a better understanding of relationships and linkages between regions on Earth such as the Arctic and midlatitudes can help to improve our predictability of costly extreme events.

One of the most commonly used graphics when a Hurricane is threatening an area is the NHC Track Cone (aka The Cone of Uncertainty). Even though it is widely used, it is widely misunderstood. The cone only shows the possible paths of the storm center.

For April’s Speaker Series, we have Candy and Dr. Rolf Peterson speaking on “For the Love of an Island” This will take place on Zoom on Thursday, April 2nd at 2 pm ET / 1 pm CT / 12 pm MT. Register here: osu.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Happy Vernal Equinox, from all of us at The Climate Consensus! The wrap-up report of this past winter is out, and the western U.S. experienced exceptional warmth!

Satellites are crucial for scientific study in the Antarctic because the environment there is not only inhospitable to human life, but it is also very difficult to get there. This means the amount of research that can be conducted onsite is limited.

"Nowhere on Earth is unaffected by climate change", and new research on tropical flowering plants, led by Skylar Graves from University of Colorado Boulder, is proving just that.

For March’s Speaker Series, we have Erin Hudson of @montereybayaquarium.org speaking on “Seafood in Flux: Science, Sustainability, and Your Power as a Consumer.” This will take place on Zoom on Thursday, March 5th at 2 pm ET / 1 pm CT / 12 pm MT. Register here: osu.zoom.us/meeting/regi...

Shared Socio-economic Pathways, or SSPs, are scenarios that represent the variety of challenges facing climate change adaptation and mitigation.
