Extreme precipitation in Central Asia connected to drought in mainland Southeast Asia
In much of Asia, the effects of climate change are felt through an increased frequency of extreme weather events, especially water-related ones. Droughts are becoming more common in mainland Southeast Asia, while periods with unusually large amounts of rainfall are increasing in Central Asia. Rice University's Na Wang and Sylvia Dee were interested in understanding whether these two extremes were related, despite being geographically distant. The researchers' findings were recently published in…

KI-Training ist Kulturdiebstahl und deren Missbrauch aber ja, ich sehe wieder mal "moderne Technik" zu skeptisch.

Enabling independent research on how people use Claude
Earlier this year, we ran a pilot giving external researchers access to aggregate, real-world Claude usage data. Three research groups designed their own studies for Anthropic Insights, our privacy-preserving analysis tool. In this post, we share high-level results from those studies and what we learned running this pilot.

Children born today in Europe will live through almost twice as much extreme fire weather as their grandparents https://phys.org/news/2026-09-children-born-today-europe-extreme.html

Children born today in Europe will live through almost twice as much extreme fire weather as their grandparents
A child born in Europe in 2025 will live through more than three additional years of extreme fire weather compared with someone born in 1950 if we continue with current climate policies, according to new research published in the journal Environmental Research Letters. That's an 84% increase for today's babies compared with their grandparents. The vast majority (86%) of this increase is due to climate change rather than increased longevity.
