Attribution science is advancing quickly, researchers said. That could support lawsuits seeking damages for severe events worsened by global warming.

Scientists have said the conditions are the result of a climate that is “fundamentally different” from the time before fossil fuel use started rapidly warming the world.

The snowfall from last winter disappeared a month sooner than usual, after two early hot spells. Huge volumes of exposed ice are now starting to vanish.

A scientific analysis concluded that such high temperatures, across so much of the continent, would “not have been possible” without global warming.

The burning of fossil fuels is raising temperatures worldwide, but local factors, on land and at sea, determine which regions warm most rapidly.

Records are being broken for the second time in a month, leading scientists to probe the upper limits of what the warming climate can dish out.

Ten people. Eight weeks. Three thousand feet to pierce a fast-melting Antarctic glacier.

As the planet warms, past episodes of the natural weather phenomenon may no longer be a reliable guide of how the next one plays out.

Blocking the narrow waterway between Russia and Alaska could help stabilize a vulnerable system of ocean currents, scientists found in a study.
