A successful climate policy means preparing for unintended adverse impacts, such as job losses in declining energy sectors or potential environmental impacts of scaling up renewables.

Increasing Hurricane Intensity Around Bermuda Linked to Rising Ocean Temperatures
New research shows that hurricane maximum wind speeds in the subtropical Atlantic around Bermuda have more than doubled on average over the last 60 years due to rising ocean temperatures in the region.
Climate Research: Rapid Formation of Iodic Particles Over the Arctic – More Clouds Could Cause Ice to Melt Faster
When sea ice melts and the water surface increases, more iodine-containing vapours rise from the sea.
Here Comes the New Generation of Climate Models: The Future of Rainfall in the Alps
Less intense mean daily precipitation, more intense and localised extreme events. This is what the future climate scenarios indicate for the Eastern Alps, according to the study “Evaluation and Expected Changes of Summer Precipitation at Convection Permitting Scale with COSMO-CLM over Alpine Space“, published by the CMCC Foundation in the journal Atmosphere.
New Study Reveals Biodiversity Important at Regional Scales
New research shows that biodiversity is important not just at the traditional scale of short-term plot experiments—in which ecologists monitor the health of a single meadow, forest grove, or pond after manipulating its species counts—but when measured over decades and across regional landscapes as well.
Biodiversity Protects Bee Communities from Disease
A new analysis of thousands of native and nonnative Michigan bees shows that the most diverse bee communities have the lowest levels of three common viral pathogens.
