Description:

Researching and reporting the science and impacts of climate change Who We Are An independent organization of leading scientists and journalists researching and reporting the facts about our changing climate and its impact on the public. What We Do Climate Central surveys and conducts scientific research on climate change and informs the public of key findings. Our scientists publish and our journalists report on climate science, energy, sea level rise. Read More About Our Expertise Members of the Climate Central staff and board are among the most respected leaders in climate science. Staff members are authorities in communicating climate and weather links, sea level rise, climate. Read More Thursday, June 18th is the third year of Mets Unite and the iconic “warming stripes” image—a simple visual that has inspired climate communicators around the world. Read More Wildfire smoke will worsen lung health this year, increasing susceptibility to COVID-19. Read More Rising temperatures are causing hurricanes to become more intense, produce more rainfall, and create higher storm surges. Read More Climate Matters Climate Mattersprovides meteorologists with data graphics on local weather events and their link to climate change. Partnerships Journalism Guided by data and science, our journalists collaborate with local newsrooms on compelling climate change coverage. Summer Starting Earlier With climate change, summertime heat is starting earlier for many parts of the U.S., squeezing out the colder seasons and prolonging the health risks of extreme heat. CO2 and the Climate Curve Even as emissions temporarily decline during the pandemic, global temperatures and CO2 levels continue to rise. Travel and Air Pollution During Covid-19 Air quality has improved substantially as travel declines during the pandemic, though these changes may not last for long. Local: Heavy Rain Trends (2020) More heavy rain is a major impact of climate change—on par with intensifying heat. Birds: Taking Flight from Climate Change Climate change is impacting the familiar birds that represent our states and often appear in our own backyards. National: Earth Day annual average temperature trend for the contiguous U.S. Temperature trends since the first Earth Day, as well as resources for climate solutions reporting and Environmental Education Week. CoastalDEM® Coastal Risk Screening Tool Improved elevation data indicate far greater global threats from sea level rise and coastal flooding than previously understood. Climate Science Data-driven research and reporting that makes climate science local and advances understanding of climate change impacts. Tear Gas, Pollution, Wildfire Smoke: A Triple Threat to Your Lungs The one-two punch of tear gas and wildfire smoke, coupled with ever-present air pollution from fossil fuels, is set to worsen suffering related to SERIES: Water Ways: Dutch Lessons for a Changing Coast The Netherlands’ climate change adaptation strategies could be a model for the Louisiana coast. The series was produced in collaboration with WWNO New Orleans Could Kennedy Space Center launch pads be at risk as climate changes? Experts say yes Created to propel humankind beyond the limits of Earth, Kennedy Space Center is now facing a terrestrial threat — the warming of our home Climate Central Solutions Brief: Battery Energy Storage Batteries are having a moment. A new Solutions Brief by Climate Central describes the rapid growth of battery storage capacity in the U.S., and Report: Flooded Future: Global vulnerability to sea level rise worse than previously understood New elevation data show that by midcentury frequent coastal flooding will rise higher than areas currently home to hundreds of millions of people. Climate Change is Threatening Air Quality across the Country As summers heat up, the air we breathe is increasingly at risk of becoming unhealthy, despite decades of air quality improvements.
