Title: Carbon isotopes of methane during the Medieval Climate Anomaly Supervisors: Reto Knutti and Thomas Blunier

Today's global warming follows more than 1000 years of colder climates

A new international study of past climate shows that the global temperature was getting colder and colder for more than 1000 years until the year 1900, after which global warming raised the temperature significantly in…

Significant contribution to sea-level rise

Glaciers at the edge of Greenland which are not connected to its huge ice sheet, or can be clearly separated from it, are contributing to sea-level rise much more than previously thought.

More hurricane surges in the future

How many extreme storm surges like that from Hurricane Katrina, which hit the U.S. coast in 2005, will there be as a result of global warming? New research from the Niels Bohr Institute show that there will be a tenfold…
