The science behind climate extremes is fascinating and diverse.
Our experts love to share their work with the media, websites like The Conversation and here at climateextremes.org.au – here’s some of their latest articles.
Note: sometimes we also share work and articles from researchers and organisations not directly affiliated or funded by our Centre. We love to share interesting work done by others in our field. If you’d like to share or adapt our work, please get in touch – email clex@unsw.edu.au

Global warming to bring record hot year by 2028 – probably our first above 1.5°C limit
We have understood the solution for decades. We must reduce emissions to net zero to stop warming Earth.

Smoke from the Black Summer fires could have made the triple La Niña more likely
Our atmosphere, oceans and lands are constantly interacting with each other.

Two trillion tonnes of greenhouse gases, 25 billion nukes of heat: are we pushing Earth out of the Goldilocks zone?
We’re in a race, and the stakes are as high as they could possibly be – ensuring a liveable climate for our children and for nature.

In hot water: here’s why ocean temperatures are the hottest on record
We experience the weather and climate directly, by our lived experience. What matters more is the big picture we are seeing.

Professor Andy Pitman speaks to the Australian Parliament on severe weather and roads
“It is unambiguous that climate is changing due to human activity – specifically the emissions of greenhouse gases. These are increasing the risk of some extreme events.”

Say my name: the polarising name of atmospheric rivers
While scientific debate is important and healthy, we must be careful not to let nomenclature become the centre of the debate, and ultimately delay progress in our understanding of phenomena.
