Indicators of Global Climate Change 2025: annual update of key indicators of the state of the climate system and human influence

Abstract. In a rapidly changing climate, evidence-based decision-making benefits from up-to-date and timely information. We track twelve key sets of indicators of the state of the climate system, clos...

Constructing the causal chain: attribution science in polluter pays climate litigation The third guide in our series on climate litigation, alongside the @granthamlse.bsky.social, examines how evidence from attribution science is used in courts to seek compensation from greenhouse gas emitters 🧵

How are impacts from extreme weather events linked to climate change? How much responsibility do large emitters such as companies or countries carry? How do scientists go about calculating these things & how is it then interpreted by lawyers in climate litigation cases? 🌪️ ⚖️

New @unep.org practical guide on strengthening national responses to #LossandDamage 📚 🔗 unepccc.org/publications...

The climate #litigation pico session and splinter meeting are back at #EGU26! ⚖️ We’re looking forward to another round of enriching, highly interdisciplinary talks and discussions. Based on this year’s impressive line-up of abstracts and speakers, it’s set to be a great one.

National meteorological services around the world face a dilemma go.nature.com/4727xqq

Can AI models reliably forecast extreme weather events?

More-rigorous testing is required before artificial-intelligence approaches are widely adopted by public forecasting agencies.

NEW STUDY: Winter downpours are getting heavier in parts of Spain, Portugal and Morocco as the region recovers from a month of relentless storms. Between mid-January and mid-February nine named storms brought torrential rain hurricane force winds causing major damage and disruption. 1/5

If we do not seriously move away from burning fossil fuels, hurricanes like Melissa will only become worse. Already today Melissa tested the limits of what preparedness and adaptation can do. These limits are very real for everyone in the Caribbean. www.worldweatherattribution.org/climate-chan...

One of the most powerful Atlantic storms on record, Hurricane Melissa has killed dozens of people and inflicted billions of dollars in damage. Warming made the deadly hurricane four times more likely, a new analysis finds.

Climate Change Made Hurricane Melissa Four Times More Likely: @imperialcollegeldn.bsky.social study via @en.afp.com "Adaptation to climate change is vital but it is not a sufficient response to global warming. The emission of greenhouse gases also has to stop." www.barrons.com/news/climate...

Climate Change Made Hurricane Melissa Four Times More Likely: Study

Hurricane Melissa, which struck Jamaica as one of the most powerful storms ever recorded, was made four times more likely because of human-caused climate change, a rapid analysis said Wednesday.

This is how climate injustice unfolds. There is both an economic logic to cutting emissions now & a moral imperative to rapidly scale up international finance for loss and damage and adaptation in the most vulnerable countries.

The Billion Dollar Weather and Climate Disaster dataset is back and now at @climatecentral.org! Through the first half of 2025, there were 14 separate billion-dollar weather and climate disasters across the United States, costing $101.4 billion. 1/2 www.climatecentral.org/climate-serv...

⚠️Climate change was behind 36% of damage inflicted by Typhoon Ragasa in China, a rapid impact attribution study from Imperial College London estimates. The study also found that climate change boosted Typhoon Ragasa’s winds by 7% and rainfall by 12% at landfall🧵

@eea.europa.eu report finds that the costs of extreme weather events in Europe have more than doubled this decade, averaging €44.5 billion annually between 2020-2023. It also records over 240,000 fatalities from climate-related disasters between 1980-2023. More info ⬇️

Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors - Nature

Climate change made 213 historical heatwaves reported over 2000–2023 more likely and more intense, to which each of the 180 carbon majors (fossil fuel and cement producers) substantially contributed.
