Jeongmin Yun et al. tag increasing acidifcation as a root cause of changes in behavior of CO2 fluxes below the equator, in Enhanced seasonal amplitude of atmospheric CO2 by the changing Southern Ocean carbon sink. "The enhanced seasonal amplitude of atmospheric CO2 has been viewed so far primarily as a Northern Hemisphere phenomenon. Yet, analyses of atmospheric CO2 records from 49 stations between 1980 and 2018 reveal substantial trends and variations in this amplitude globally. While no significant trends can be discerned before 2000 in most places, strong positive trends emerge after 2000 in the southern high latitudes."
Pleasant findings on conscientious behavior are found in a paper by Del Ponte, Masili?nas & Lim, in Information about historical emissions drives the division of climate change mitigation costs. Knowing something of our history influences our willingness to take on and pay for responsibility. "Here we show that when the second generation knows that the previous generation created the current wealth and mitigation costs, participants whose predecessor generated more carbon emissions offered to pay more, whereas the successors of low-carbon emitters offered to pay less."
Human-induced changes in the global meridional overturning circulation are emerging from the Southern Ocean finds changes happening for a variety of reasons but substantially including "us." Concerningly, Antarctic meltwater seems to be playing a large role: "These changes are driven by the increasing Southern Hemisphere (SH) Ferrel cell and associated increases in the westerlies and the surface buoyancy loss over its sinking branch, and the increasing Antarctic meltwater discharge, in response to ozone depletion in the SH stratosphere and increasing atmospheric CO2. A large-scale readjustment of the GMOC seems to be underway in the South Atlantic and Indo-Pacific Oceans since the mid-2000s in response to the Southern Ocean changes."
Given Skeptical Science's beat, this perspective piece in Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and authored by Christian Better and Felix Schulz is pleasingly provocative, with reasoning we'd all surely like to believe. Why focusing on “climate change denial” is counterproductive. The authors argue that overemphasis on categorizing beliefs leads to further division and makes cooperation more difficult.
J.S. Nanditha et al. take a close look at last year's horrific inundation of a large country with a vulnerable population in The Pakistan Flood of August 2022: Causes and Implications. This is a preprint but its conclusions are commensurate with other work, notably including that this flood was entirely congruent with predictions of climate models. Worse is likely yet to come, as detailed. The authors highlight this grim reality against Pakistan's relative inability to cope with such extreme conditions on a sustained basis.
In their opinion piece published in WIREs Climate Change Usability of climate information: Toward a new scientific framework, Julie Jebeile & Joe Roussos reinforce conclusions shared by many science and communications practitioners concerned with matters of climate: "We generate five recommendations for adapting the practice of climate science, to produce more usable information and thereby respond more directly to the social challenge of climate change. These are: (1) integrated cross-disciplinarity, (2) wider involvement of stakeholders throughout the lifecycle of a climate study, (3) a new framing of the role of values in climate science, (4) new approaches to uncertainty management, and (5) new approaches to uncertainty communication."
One purpose of New Research is to help readers understand the differences between popular literature and academic research publications. One key dfferentiation between "pop" writing and what's found in academic journals is provision of supporting citations of prior research for all less-than-completely-obvious claims and assertions providing support for novel findings reported in new reports. To make this more apparent we're adding a new statistic to our summary top line: the total number of cited references supporting each week's collection. Due to publisher reporting gaps this number represents an undercount.

Climate Trauma: the Growing Toll of Climate Change on The Mental Health of Australians, Gergis et al., The Climate Council of Australia Limited
The authors provide quantitative data and a rich trove of qualitative testimonies from people all over Australia who have lived through disasters. These data provide a better understanding of the impacts of climate change on mental health in Australia. The research provided an opportunity to hear from those on the front line of the climate crisis about how to better prepare for and respond to future disasters. Stronger action on climate change is fundamental to promoting the mental health and well-being of not only Australians but of communities all over the world.
A Race to the Top: Latin America, Bauer et al., Global Energy Monitor
Latin America has the potential to increase its utility-scale solar and wind power capacity by more than 460% by 2030 if all 319 gigawatts (GW) of prospective new projects in the region come online. Together with existing distributed and smaller-scale solar capacity, Latin America will be on track to meet, and potentially surpass, the International Energy Agency’s (IEA) 2030 regional net zero renewable energy goals if it implements all of its prospective larger-scale projects.
Developing Model Federal Legislation to Advance Safe and Responsible Ocean Carbon Dioxide Removal Research in the United States, Romany M. Webb and Korey Silverman-Roati, Sabin Center for Climate Change Law
This model federal legislation aims to advance safe and responsible ocean carbon dioxide removal (CDR) research in U.S. waters. Controlled field trials and other in-ocean research is critical to improve scientific and societal understanding of CDR techniques that could help the U.S. reach its climate goals. However, existing legal frameworks were not designed to regulate ocean CDR and, in some cases, unnecessarily or inappropriately restrict needed research. The purpose of this proposed model legislation is to establish clear and efficient permitting regime for in-ocean CDR research. At the same time, the model legislation builds in consultation, monitoring, and other safeguards to ensure research occurs in a scientifically-sound manner and minimizes potential risks to the environment and communities.
We know it's frustrating that many articles we cite here are not free to read. One-off paid access fees are generally astronomically priced, suitable for such as "On a Heuristic Point of View Concerning the Production and Transformation of Light" but not as a gamble on unknowns. With a median world income of US$ 9,373, for most of us US$ 42 is significant money to wager on an article's relevance and importance.
Most articles appearing here are found via RSS feeds from journal publishers, filtered by search terms to produce raw output for assessment of relevance.
Relevant articles are then queried against the Unpaywall database, to identify open access articles and expose useful metadata for articles appearing in the database.
The objective of New Research isn't to cast a tinge on scientific results, to color readers' impressions. Hence candidate articles are assessed via two metrics only:
The section "Informed opinion, nudges & major initiatives" includes some items that are not scientific research per se but fall instead into the category of "perspectives," observations of implications of research findings, areas needing attention, etc.
Please let us know if you're aware of an article you think may be of interest for Skeptical Science research news, or if we've missed something that may be important. Send your input to Skeptical Science via our contact form.
A list of journals we cover may be found here. We welcome pointers to omissions, new journals etc.
