This year, the U.S. has faced extreme weather, including record heatwaves and intense hurricanes, like Idalia, causing widespread disruptions and power outages. In August 2024, Hurricane Idalia alone left over 2.4 million homes and businesses without power​. As these natural disasters become more frequent, the vulnerability of traditional electricity grids ... [continued]

It is now possible to estimate the influence of climate change on some types of extreme events, such as heat waves, drought, and heavy precipitation, says a new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.

This week the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration predicted an above-normal 2020 hurricane season, with the possibility of three to six major hurricanes this summer looming over millions of Americans.

It is now possible to estimate the influence of climate change on some types of extreme events, such as heat waves, drought, and heavy precipitation, says a new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine.

A new study indicates that water management in the Netherlands uses a reliable warning system for extreme weather, which can incorporate wind and coastal surge level forecasts, as well as precipitation forecasts.

Following extreme weather events, many countries are unable to afford the costs of providing relief to communities and repairing infrastructure, a new study suggests. The researchers estimate that providing relief on a global scale for events which recur every 10 to 50 years would cost US$3.3 billion (€2.37 billion) annually.

Cereal fields provide a staple food, but are also home to a wide array of invertebrates. This study analysed over 40 years of data to investigate the effects of extreme weather, climate and pesticide use on invertebrates in cereal fields in southern England. As pesticide use had a greater effect on abundance than temperature or rainfall, the authors also recommend reducing pesticide use.

A new IPCC report is about to come out that proves what we all know already -- there is most definitely a connection between climate change and extreme weather.

Environmental scientist Amy Luers warns that a cultural shift to our approach to emissions and climate mitigation requires a broad, long-term view. Tying the is

Brutal heat and bitter cold have cost farmers in WA more than 1.5m tonnes in crops over the course of a fortnight, according to a grain industry report.

Authorities are warning the Great Southern and lower Wheatbelt need to be on alert over the next few days, with sweltering conditions expected to create a serious fire danger.

Climate-related displacement is not hypothetical: An average of 21.5 million people per year have been displaced since 2008 by natural disasters, and thousands more have fled slow-onset environmental hazards. While migration can serve as a safety valve to adapt to changing conditions, few orderly, legal channels exist for climate migrants (also known as environmental migrants), as this article explores.

The United Nations is warning hotter temperatures will influence extreme weather conditions this year and into the future.

If a hurricane is headed your way, you surely have a lot on your mind. Knowing the energy infrastructure risks in your area may be one more thing to throw in there.

Mr Abbott said the fires were always going to happen in a country like Australia and hit out at those saying global warming was the cause as almost 'religious' in their beliefs.

Storm Denniss, 24, of Whitby, Yorkshire, was given the name Storm because he was born a particularly blustery night in March 1995.
