China has overtaken the U.S. as the largest annual emitter, but all countries have to reduce their emissions if we want to stop further global warming. Every fraction of a degree of warming we avoid lowers the risks to people and other life on Earth.
Out of the 29 Northern Hemisphere summers that led up to a winter El Niño, how many were hot versus cold? Wet versus dry? These maps are a global climate scorecard for the influence of El Niño on June-August climate.
How will the current El Niño impact coastal flooding over the next year? Guest blogger William Sweet and his colleagues discuss how the combination of long-term sea level rise and El Niño have increased the risk of high-tide flooding along both U.S. coastlines.
The chance that El Niño will continue through the winter is greater than 95%. What's behind the forecast? And what could El Niño mean for global temperatures?
The chance that El Niño will continue through the winter is greater than 90%. Our blogger will get you on El Niño's dance card.
