Nature Climate Change, Published online: 07 September 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01795-1 Weather station records are too short and sparse to effectively detect the signature of climate change in Antarctica. Using the isotopic composition of ice cores as a temperature proxy suggests that Antarctica is warming faster than the global average temperature and expectations from climate models for…

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 07 September 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01791-5 The effect of global warming on Antarctic temperatures is difficult to quantify, due to short weather observations and large internal variability. Here the authors use ice cores to identify polar amplification that results in warming in Antarctica larger than the internal variability. Nature Climate Change

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 05 September 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01816-z The impacts of climate change are becoming difficult to ignore with more frequent climate extreme events across the globe. Yet, whether these events may influence individuals and society to engage in climate discussion and action is currently unclear. Nature Climate Change

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 05 September 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01778-2 Inconsistent climate projections for much of the Global South from six generations of IPCC assessments have compounded the many challenges it faces in adapting to climate change. Here, we propose using emerging technologies and strengthening international collaborations to address these challenges. Nature Climate Change
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 05 September 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01769-3 There are contrasting views on how to produce the accurate predictions that are needed to guide climate change adaptation. Here, we argue for harnessing artificial intelligence, building on domain-specific knowledge and generating ensembles of moderately high-resolution (10–50 km) climate simulations as anchors for detailed hazard models.

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 04 September 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01777-3 A network of more than 100 researchers tracked trees for up to 30 years in forest plots across South America, enabling estimation of the impacts of record temperatures and drought on carbon dynamics. The carbon sink in these forests ceased during the 2015–2016 El Niño, with…
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 04 September 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01784-4 Climate change research and assessments, including the most recent IPCC report, paint an increasingly dire picture of the future. However, the assumption that the future will be worse than the present may be wrong for many aspects of human well-being. Nature Climate Change
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 04 September 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01788-0 The release of the IPCC Synthesis Report concludes the sixth assessment cycle (AR6). Nature Climate Change speaks to outgoing IPCC Chair Hoesung Lee about the reports, and the lessons that may inform the seventh assessment cycle. Nature Climate Change
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 04 September 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01780-8 The IPCC has been successful at building its scientific authority, but it will require institutional reform for staying relevant to new and changing political contexts. Exploring a range of alternative future pathways for the IPCC can help guide crucial decisions about redefining its purpose. Nature Climate Change
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 04 September 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01776-4 The authors analyse tree responses to an extreme heat and drought event across South America to understand long-term climate resistance. While no more sensitive to this than previous lesser events, forests in drier climates showed the greatest impacts and thus vulnerability to climate extremes. Nature Climate Change
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 31 August 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01787-1 Arctic uplands consume atmospheric methane, but whereas methane emissions are reasonably well studied, Arctic soil methane uptake is poorly understood. High-resolution measurements show that the Arctic soil methane sink might currently be underestimated, and is driven by soil moisture and labile carbon availability, implying increased methane…

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 31 August 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01764-8 Planning for climate change means accounting for melting ice and sea-level rise; exactly how much is shaped by many factors, each carrying its own uncertainties. Scientists are grappling with this uncertainty to better understand the fate of ice sheets and coastlines. Nature Climate Change
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 31 August 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01785-3 The Arctic is estimated to be a source of atmospheric methane but the sink capacity may be underestimated. This study shows that methane uptake in well-drained Arctic soils is driven by soil moisture and carbon availability, indicating a potential increased methane sink under climate change.

Nature Climate Change, Published online: 28 August 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01770-w Declining snow cover poses a substantial risk for many ski resorts that often counter this trend with snowmaking, leading to increasing emissions caused by ski tourism. Research now quantifies the risks of rising temperatures to the skiing industry at the pan-European level, together with the potential…
