Unprecedented wildfires in Canada and parts of Amazonia last year were at least three times more likely due to climate change and contributed to high levels of CO2 emissions from burning globally.

Research led by the Met Office as part of the CSSP China project, has used a global Earth system model to investigate the impact of future changes in air pollutants on air quality and the climate.

As mentioned, climate change is just part of the picture. We also need to consider its interaction with human systems and how this influences development

weather with impacts varying depending on the time of year. These influences – acting on UK climate a long distance from their source – are known as ‘teleconnections’ and are an intense area of ongoing scientific research including here at the Met Office. El Niño Southern Oscillation – ENSO
A direct link between climate change and drought is complicated by the many meteorological, hydrological, geological, and societal drivers that combine to cause droughts. However, there is increasing evidence that climate change is influencing rainfall patterns in many regions around the world
