Macroclimate data overestimate range shifts of plants in response to climate change
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 24 April 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01650-3
The authors model historic and current distributions of grassland and heathland plants using both macro- and microclimate data. While macroclimate models predict the need for major range shifts (14 km median), microclimate models predict much smaller shifts that more closely match observed patterns.

Risk of isolation increases the urgency and spatial extent of climate change adaptation
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 23 March 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01647-y
Estimations of the risk from sea-level rise are often based on the amount of property inundated by water. However, risk measurements based on isolation — being cut-off from key services owing to road flooding — suggest that the impacts of sea-level rise could be more widespread and may begin earlier than anticipated.

Response to climate change can be altered by species competition
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 02 March 2023; doi:10.1038/s41558-023-01621-8
Acclimation to climate change induces a reduction in the overall energetic cost for ectotherms, but most studies focus on a single species. Now, research shows that species competition can erode the energetic benefits of acclimation by affecting individual behaviour and energetics.

Unravelling global patterns of irreversible climate change
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 06 September 2022; doi:10.1038/s41558-022-01456-9
Even if greenhouse gas concentrations in the atmosphere are reduced to pre-industrial levels, the climate system might not return to its previous state. Quantification of the spatial patterns of climate hysteresis and reversibility reveals globally widespread irreversible changes in surface temperature and precipitation in response to anthropogenic CO2 emissions.

Climate change exacerbates almost two-thirds of pathogenic diseases affecting humans
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 15 August 2022; doi:10.1038/s41558-022-01435-0
A comprehensive and systematic literature review reveals that over 58% of human pathogenic diseases are aggravated by climatic hazards that are sensitive to greenhouse gas emissions.

Over half of known human pathogenic diseases can be aggravated by climate change
Nature Climate Change, Published online: 08 August 2022; doi:10.1038/s41558-022-01426-1
A systematic review shows that 58% of infectious diseases confronted by humanity, via 1,006 unique pathways, have at some point been affected by climatic hazards sensitive to GHGs. These results highlight the mounting challenge for adaption and the urgent need to reduce GHG emissions.
