Greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere hit new record highs in 2022, with no end in sight to the rising trend, according to this new report by the World Meteorological Organisation (WMO). This Bulletin represents the latest analysis of observations from the WMO GAW Programme. It shows globally averaged surface …
PARIS: Paris authorities said today they would make public transport free for three days to encourage drivers to leave their vehicles behind due to severe pollution caused by unusually warm weather and lack of wind. The French capital has been under maximum pollution alert for several days, as have many …
Earth's climate would continue to warm during this century on track with previous estimates, despite the recent slowdown in the rate of global warming, a new Nasa study has warned. The research hinges on a new and more detailed calculation of the sensitivity of Earth's climate to the factors that …
This State of the Climate is the third in a series of reports produced by CSIRO and the Australian Bureau of Meteorology. It provides a summary of observations of Australia’s climate and analysis of the factors that influence it.
Data and analysis from the Bureau of Meteorology and CSIRO show further warming of the atmosphere and oceans in the Australian region, as is happening globally. This change is occurring against the background of high climate variability, but the signal is clear. Air and ocean temperatures across Australia are now, …
Climate change is one of the defining issues of our time. It is now more certain than ever, based on many lines of evidence, that humans are changing Earth’s climate. The atmosphere and oceans have warmed, accompanied by sea-level rise, a strong decline in Arctic sea ice, and other climate-related …
Weather radars are to be installed at different three places in the country to collect and disseminate reliable information about weather conditions at the local-level. Director General of the Department of Hydrology and Meteorology, Rishiraj Sharma, said that modern radars are going to be installed in three important 'basin' areas …

Last year was the sixth-hottest since 1850, with temperatures indicating long-term warming of the planet, the World Meteorological Agency said. Thirteen of the 14 hottest years since the instrumental record began have occurred this century, including 2010 and 2005, the two warmest, the WMO, a United Nations agency, said in …
Sydney is enduring its driest summer in 72 years, with much of NSW parched by three heatwaves in January and little relief in sight, meteorologists say. The Harbour City has recorded just 48.4 millimetres of rain at its Observatory Hill site since December 1, a little over a quarter a …
International trade affects global air pollution and transport by redistributing emissions related to production of goods and services and by potentially altering the total amount of global emissions. Here we analyze the trade influences by combining an economic-emission analysis on China’s bilateral trade and atmospheric chemical transport modeling. Our focused …
Mimicking Cooling Effects Of Volcanic Eruptions Will Lead To Climate Chaos: Study A controversial proposal to cool the planet artificially by injecting tiny reflective particles into the upper atmosphere which block out sunlight would cause droughts and climate chaos in the poorest countries of the world, a study has found. …
Over the past three days, Islamabad and Rawalpindi have seen temperatures plummet to zero degree Celsius. But Monday witnessed a further drop in temperature –becoming the coldest day recorded in 30 years. The mercury dropped in Islamabad to minus three degree Celsius while temperature in Rawalpindi was recorded at minus …
MELBOURNE: Global average temperatures will rise at least 4 degrees celsius by 2100 and potentially more than 8 degrees by 2200 if carbon dioxide emissions are not reduced, a new research has warned. Scientists found global climate is more sensitive to carbon dioxide than most previous estimates. The research also …
Emissions of sulphur dioxide - atmospheric pollutant with health and climate impacts - from power plants in India increased by over 60 per cent between 2005 and 2012, new data analysed by a Nasa satellite found. In 2010, India surpassed the US as the world's second highest emitter of SO2 …
PUNE: People living in Hadapsar, Katraj, Bhosari and Shivajinagar may be more susceptible to respiratory infections such as asthma and chronic bronchitis because the chill the city is currently experiencing has pushed air pollution levels to a new high in these places. The city continued to shiver with the minimum …
This publication, which is based on statistical evidence, illustrates major environmental, economic and social changes in Asia and the Pacific since 1992. The numbers tell the story of how, in twenty years, the region has changed, and the development path the region takes will not only shape the region, but …
“With the change in atmosphere, animals, plants and ecosystems, such as oceans are also changing. Animals and plants must adapt to the new temperatures,” Vice-Chairman of University Grants Commission H. Devaraj, said here on Tuesday. Speaking at the international congress of ‘Global Warming on Biodiversity of Insects – Management and …
WARSAW: Laughing gas is, indeed, no laughing matter. The United Nation Environment Programme (UNEP) on Thursday released an eye-opening report on the sidelines of the ongoing climate talks, warning that nitrous oxide (N2O) — commonly known as laughing gas — with 300 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide …
Cape Canaveral: Nasa hopes its newest Mars spacecraft lives up to its know-itall name. The robotic explorer called Maven is due to blast off on Monday on a 10-month journey to the red planet. There, it will orbit Mars and study the atmosphere to try to understand how the planet …
The year 2013 is currently on course to be among the top ten warmest years since modern records began in 1850, according to the World Meteorological Organization. The first nine months, January to September, tied with 2003 as the seventh warmest such period on record, with a global land and …
