Global change

  1. Fire weather emergence is already detectable in many burnable areas
    Climate models show fire weather conditions driven by human warming already detectable in 39% of burnable areas, with dangerous extremes emerging at 2–3°C warming in multiple regions.
  2. Moderate warming may still lead to extreme climate outcomes
    Study shows extreme droughts, floods, and wildfires could occur at 2°C warming, exceeding impacts projected for 3-4°C. New sector-focused assessment reveals risks hidden by standard climate models.
  3. Global green wave shifts north and east more quickly
    Study reveals accelerated north-east shift in global green wave trajectory, indicating restructured vegetation phenology and hemispheric productivity changes through 21st century.
