and its symptoms Greenhouse gas emissions cause an imbalance at the top of the atmosphere (TOA) between the energy that is received from the sun and that which the Earth emits back to space. Termed Earth’s energy imbalance (EEI), it leads to an accumulation of energy (heat) in the Earth system over

Flash droughts can have devastating impacts on crops and water supplies. International collaborative research has found that droughts across the world are developing more rapidly as a result of climate change.
” Peili Wu, Expert Scientist at the Met Office, the UK’s national meteorological service. Climate change and droughts The researchers studied how climate change is influencing the speed at which droughts occur and intensify. They found that human-induced climate change has contributed to this global
Changes in sea ice and land ice have important climate feedbacks, through albedo and ocean circulation. The melt of land ice results in sea level rise.
the ocean, producing the cold saline bottom water which influences ocean circulation. As sunlight returns to the poles in summer, the ice melts back allowing the atmosphere to be warmed by the ocean and releasing fresh water to stratify the regional oceans. Sea ice, in both the Arctic and Antarctic
