Autumn has finally arrived in the UK following an unusually sunny September. The days are growing shorter, the temperature cooler, and the leaves are changing colour.
Climate change has emerged as one of the most pressing challenges of our time, bringing with it a cascade of consequences, including extreme weather events that wreak havoc on communities and infrastructure.
When you hear the word "Antarctica," what comes to mind? A colossal expanse of ice and snow, perhaps a region that could easily fit the United States and Mexico within its borders.
World leaders propose four pivotal strategies to manage the impending climate overshoot, focusing on mitigation, adaptation, carbon removal, and exploring solar radiation management to restore a habitable climate.
As temperatures rise, the warmer atmosphere can hold more water vapor. Evaporation of water from land and oceans also increases. That water has to eventually come back to land and oceans.
Amidst our busy lives filled with work deadlines, family gatherings, and the latest binge-worthy TV shows, an urgent whisper grows louder each day: the call to action on climate change.
Looking for a US ‘climate haven’ away from heat and disaster risks? Good luck finding one
The world is burning. Death Valley, Calif., shattered the record in July 2023 for the hottest temperature on earth
As Maui's fires raged on, fueled by a combination of drought, intense winds, and climate shifts, the reality of our times became inescapably clear: we are living the climate crisis.
In 2021, the United States witnessed the impact of natural hazards on nearly one in 10 homes. As climate change continues to shape our environment, it becomes imperative to identify the riskiest regions in the country.
We all have times when we feel anxious about our future; perhaps this is more acute for many people this summer as we experience unprecedented wildfires and heat waves due to the warming climate.
The world faces an unprecedented climate crisis as temperatures soar and heat records are shattered across the globe.
Have you ever heard of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation or AMOC? Don't worry if you haven't! It's not a daily discussion topic, but it's an integral part of our planet that scientists watch closely.
Global warming is a pressing issue that poses severe threats to our planet and all its inhabitants. In recent years, scientists have warned about the potential consequences of reaching a 3°C increase in global temperatures.
Europe is currently in the midst of a heatwave. Italy, in particular, is expected to face blistering heat, with temperatures projected to reach 40℃ to 45℃.
These collapses might happen sooner than you’d think. Humans are already putting ecosystems under pressure in many different ways – what we refer to as stresses.
When a hurricane hits land, the destruction can be visible for years or even decades. Less obvious, but also powerful, is the effect hurricanes have on the oceans.
The slow-down of the Southern Ocean circulation, a dramatic drop in the extent of sea ice and unprecedented heatwaves are all raising concerns that Antarctica may be approaching tipping points.
Here are the alarming findings of a global scientific study on Earth's boundaries. Learn why urgent action is needed to address climate change, biodiversity, freshwater, nutrient use, and air pollution for a sustainable and just future.

A 2023 report warns of a 98% chance that one of the next five years will be the hottest on record, with a 66% chance of exceeding the crucial 1.5°C global warming threshold. Find out the alarming implications and the urgency for emissions reduction.
Discover how deep ocean currents around Antarctica are slowing down earlier than predicted, with profound implications for Earth's climate, sea level, and marine life.
New research uncovers the connection between human-caused climate change and the intensification of El Niño and La Niña events. Explore the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on Earth's climate system and understand the implications for weather patterns and extreme climate events.
Drought has direct consequences on our lives, not least because it threatens basic foodstuffs such as milk.
