Causes of changes to different aspects of the climate system are attributed to human and/or natural influences.
Observations contain information about how climate has varied. Climate models provide the facility to investigate the impact of different influences on climate, including both anthropogenic and natural factors, and to determine the level of variability that would still exist in the climate system
We are a world authority on weather and climate science.
Weather and climate stories are rarely out of the headlines, meaning that the views of our media-trained experts are frequently sought by media and others around the world. Covering so many topics affecting the world’s weather and climate means we have a lot to talk about. How you can follow us
