Extreme climatic effects on humans and the environment are often associated with very high global warming levels of three or four degrees Celsius. A new study led by the Leipzig-based Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research (UFZ) shows that this assumption is too short. Because moderate warming of 2 degrees Celsius could also pose significant climate risks [...] The article Leipziger Studie: Even with 2 degrees of warming extreme global clim…

Overseen worst case? Even with two degrees of warming, some climate impacts could be much worse than previously predicted, as new analyses revealed. According to this, droughts, heavy rains and fire weather in some regions could then be as severe as actually expected for three or four degrees of warming. The reason for this: Common forecasts are mostly based on averages of several models. However, this can mask the true range of forecasts, as cl…

Most climate forecasts are based on average values of several climate models and global trends. However, this may underestimate certain climate impacts, as a study now demonstrates. In it, climate researchers have determined that the weather extremes predicted for three to four degrees of warming compared to pre-industrial values could occur for some regions and models already at two degrees of warming. [...] The article Extreme climate impacts …
