Mapping climate change interaction with human health through DPSIR framework: Qatar perspective by Haneen I. Eldos, Furqan Tahir, U.N. Athira, Hend O. Mohamed, Bincy Samuel, Sini Skariah, Sami G. Al-Ghamdi, Tareq Al-Ansari, Ali A. Sultan

“…Key drivers, including economic development and population growth, contribute to increased greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, exerting pressure on Qatar's climate through rising temperatures and altered precipitation patterns, as modeled by the MIT Regional Climate Model (MRCM). The findings reveal critical gaps in understanding the state of climate-health interactions, including insufficient disease data, incomplete climate-health linkages, and significant research gaps. …”

Epistemic Uncertainties in Climate Predictions: A Challenge for Practical Decision Making by Rafaela Hillerbrand

“…Most scientists agree that, at least for the time being, unquantified uncertainties are inevitably connected to predictions of climate models. Uncertainties, however, do not justify political inaction. …”

Machine learning suggests climate and seasonal definitions should change under global warming by Milton Speer, Lance Leslie

“…The poleward contraction of mid-latitude westerly winds is a readily identifiable contributor. Improvements in climate models are expected to more accurately predict future phases of climate drivers. …”

Volcanically forced Madden–Julian oscillation triggers the immediate onset of El Niño by Hyemi Kim, Seung-Ki Min, Daehyun Kim, Daniele Visioni

“…Although the influence of volcanic forcing on El Niño events has been studied extensively, the mechanisms driving the volcanically-induced immediate onset of El Niño remain uncertain, with many climate models producing a delayed El Niño response compared to observations. …”

Advances in the Research on Brown Carbon Aerosols: Its Concentrations, Radiative Forcing, and Effects on Climate by Shuai Li, Hua Zhang, Zhili Wang, Yonghang Chen

“…Recent research suggests that: (1) Climate effects of aerosols can be represented more accurately when including BrC absorption in climate models; the regions with the highest global mean surface BrC concentrations estimated by models are mostly Southeast Asia and South America (biomass burning), East Asia and northeast India (biofuel burning), and Europe and North America (secondary sources); estimates of BrC radiative forcing are quite erratic, with a range of around 0.03–0.57 W m−2. (2) BrC heating lead to tropical expansion and a reduction in deep convective mass fluxes in the upper troposphere; cloud fraction and cloud type have a substantial impact on the heating rate estimates of BrC. …”

Editorial by Jörg Tremmel, Edward Page, Konrad Ott

“…It is shown that the precautionary principle fails to adequately deal with uncertainties as they arise in climate modeling. Following a social constructivist approach, Delf Rothe (Helmut-Schmidt-University, Hamburg, Germany) shows how the interests of the actors in climate conferences have shifted between Rio 1992 and now. …”
