Thankfully, plenty of physicists are already doing their bit to tackle the climate crisis, as we report in the October issue of Physics World magazine. The cover feature by James Dacey includes interviews with many of the climate scientists speaking at IOP Publishing’s forthcoming Environmental Research 2021 online conference.

Scientific evidence is clear that climate change is affecting winter storms, making extreme events happen more frequently. I lived through one of these storms recently in Texas: Winter Storm Uri in February 2021, which had me juggling microwaving food and charging devices as the local utility imposed rolling blackouts during the freeze.
