Sea surface warming patterns drive hydrological sensitivity uncertainties
AbstractThe increase in global-mean precipitation with global-mean temperature (hydrological sensitivity; (eta)) is constrained by the atmospheric energy budget, but its magnitude remains uncertain. Here...
Coastal vegetation and estuaries are collectively a greenhouse gas sink
AbstractCoastal ecosystems release or absorb carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), but the net effects of these ecosystems on the radiative...

Increased ambition is needed after Glasgow
At COP26 in Glasgow, major emitters significantly ratcheted up their climate commitments. Such increased ambition will substantially contribute to getting closer to the long-term...
A multimodel analysis of post-Glasgow climate targets and feasibility challenges
AbstractThe COP26 Glasgow process resulted in many countries strengthening their 2030 emissions reduction targets and announcing net-zero pledges for 2050–2070 but it is not...
Social cost of carbon estimates have increased over time
AbstractEstimates of the social cost of carbon are the yardstick for climate policy targets. However, there is great uncertainty and we do not know...
