How climate extremes fuel droughts and heavy rains

Both droughts and heavy rains are symptomatic of a climate in crisis. Sonia Seneviratne explains the far-reaching impacts of climate extremes.

Solar geoengineering

Stratospheric injection of solid particles could reduce climate change impacts, say researchers from ETH Zurich.

Less cold than thought

The oceans were less cold in the early 20th century (1900–1930) than thought, find researchers around Sebastian Sippel (Leipzig University) and Reto Knutti from ETH Zurich.

Geoengineering will not solve the problem

A team led by ETH climate researcher Sandro Vattioni has shown that diamond dust released in the atmosphere could be a good way to cool the climate.
