After 18 months of R&D with a team of specialist academics, I'm VERY excited to say that @carbonbrief.org has just launched 'Project Cosmos'... ...the world's largest database of climate research Our hope is this becomes a major new resource interactive.carbonbrief.org/cosmos/index...
Project Cosmos – the world’s largest database of climate change research

To keep track of the rapidly growing field of attribution research, Carbon Brief has mapped every published study on how climate change has influenced extreme weather. Explore the interactive map here ⬇️ interactive.carbonbrief.org/attribution-...
Hot, sweaty, exciting - and increasingly deadly. Climate change will be an unwelcome but very present player in the upcoming FIFA World Cup in North America - especially in the fan zones. New @wwattribution.bsky.social study. www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-chan...
There's a terrific new article by @carbonbrief.org on the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation with some great animations. Strongly recommended. I've been reading it ahead of giving a lecture on the risks of climate change tomorrow. interactive.carbonbrief.org/amoc-explain...
AMOC: Is global warming tipping key Atlantic ocean currents towards ‘collapse’?
The AMOC is under threat from human-caused climate change, as warming seas, melting ice and increased rainfall upset the temperature and salt balance of the North Atlantic.

NEW ANALYSIS: UK's solar power surges 42% to a new record, after the sunniest spring on record * For the first time, solar was >10% of UK generation in consecutive months (April/May 2025) * In 2025, solar has already avoided gas imports that would've cost £600m www.carbonbrief.org/analysis-uks...
South Korea’s deadliest ever wildfires in late March were worsened by climate change 📈 Here's four charts to tell the story of our latest study, published last week.
Rapid population growth, poverty and frequent bouts of extreme rainfall are increasing the risk of catastrophic flooding in Kinshasa, the Democratic Republic of Congo’s capital city of nearly 18 million people. Our study on the recent floods that killed at least 33 people was published today. 🧵

A network of researchers conducted a global stocktake of measures taken by communities forced to adapt to climate change. We analysed 1,600+ peer-reviewed articles from the data looking at where, how and by whom these measures are being taken. interactive.carbonbrief.org/climate-adap... #dataviz
NEW: 2024 has just been confirmed as the warmest year on record, and the first to breach the 1.5C threshold. We used a ridgeline (Joy Division inspired) chart to visualise daily temperature anomalies since 1940. 2024 clearly stands out with 100% of its days above 1.3C and 75% above 1.5C.
NEW ANALYSIS: Right-leaning UK newspaper editorials have relentlessly attacked energy secretary Ed Miliband since last year's election, calling him "hysterical", a "madman" & "demented" The papers have also published a record number of editorials opposing climate action… 1/2

Climate change intensified the series of five typhoons and a tropical storm that impacted the Philippines over 23 days in October and November. Our study found that a greater number of typhoons landfalling in the country are reaching Category 3-5 levels as fossil fuel emissions heat the climate. 🧵
