Global drought shows no detectable recent acceleration under climate warming
Using 11 global SPEI datasets built from six PET methods, the team shows that reported global drying is largely driven by the choice of evapotranspiration formulation, and that no statistically significant recent acceleration of global drought is detectable during 1981–2024.
Tsinghua SIGS team led by Yuanchao Fan advances research on global warming and deadly heat stress
This study provides the first global-scale quantitative assessment of how outdoor humid heat, solar radiation, and physiological factors drive heat stress, revealing that previous research has severely underestimated the outdoor health risks of global warming.
Deadly heat coming for healthy people — Harvard research
Venturing outdoors during heatwaves may become deadly for millions of people in a world only slightly warmer than today's, according to new research published in Communications Earth & Environment.
Divergent impacts of climate interventions on China's north-south water divide
This study examines how climate interventions may produce different water-cycle responses across China's north and south, highlighting the need to consider regional trade-offs.
Model shows solar geoengineering may be surprisingly effective in alleviating impacts of global warming on crops
Solar geoengineering is not a fix-all for climate change but it could be one of several tools to manage climate risks. Research offers better understanding of its effect on agriculture.
