COP28 reaches agreement to steer away from fossil fuels

The COP28 event has concluded with an agreement recognising the importance of transitioning away from fossil fuels.

The impact of temperature extremes on species distribution

A recent study conducted by researchers from McGill University, in collaboration with scientists from Spain, Mexico, Portugal, Denmark, Australia, South Africa, and various Canadian universities, explores the significance of temperature in determining the current habitats of animal species.

Understanding the impact of drought on forests: Bridging science and practice

Due to the very long rotation times of trees 100 years old or more, the forest sector is being particularly affected by the changes brought about by climate change, especially by the impact of drought.

How AI combats climate change and mitigates its impact

Climate change remains one of the most pressing issues humanity has to deal with today. In this article, we discuss how AI combats climate change.

Climate driven extreme heat threatens human habitation on earth

If global temperatures rise by 1 degree Celsius or more beyond their current levels, billions of individuals annually will face conditions of extreme heat and humidity that hinder their natural ability to cool down.

Antarctica’s alarmingly low sea ice levels

Scientists suggest that the record-warm oceans, changes in ocean currents and winds, and the developing El Niño phenomenon may all be contributing factors to the alarmingly low sea ice levels in Antarctica this year.

Largest cruise ship on Earth to embark in early 2024

In early 2024, Royal Caribbean International is set to introduce the world's largest cruise ship, the Icon of the Seas, an astounding 365-meter-long vessel that dwarfs even the Titanic.

Extreme weather in Antarctica warns urgent climate action

Unprecedented extreme weather in Antarctica foretells a problematic future as scientists warn of intensifying events triggered by rising temperatures.

Research method reveals health impacts of heat and air quality

Researchers from the University of Waterloo and Toronto Metropolitan University analyse heat and air quality effects on health to guide climate adaptation measures.

Ongoing blaze from Greece wildfires forces massive Rhodes evacuation

Terrifying Greece wildfires continue to ravage the island of Rhodes, forcing thousands of tourists to flee, while suspicions of arson and the heatwave add to the crisis.

Satellite data reveals a severe marine heatwave in UK and Ireland

Satellite measurements have detected some of the most severe marine heatwave increases on Earth in the waters surrounding the United Kingdom and Ireland.

Snow algae increases glacier ice melt in the US

Researchers find that snow algae growing in the Pacific Northwest of the US has exacerbated melting of snow, exposing glacier ice to warm temperatures.

Coral disease has tripled over the last 25 years, wiping out entire reef habitats

As global temperatures rise, deadly coral disease is becoming more prevalent on reefs. Likely to become endemic, researchers highlight the need for urgent mitigation of coral disease.

Global climate change amplifies risk of flash droughts and threatens croplands

The intensification of flash droughts, rapid and unexpected drought events, poses a significant threat to agricultural and ecological systems.

Nature’s climate solution: Carbon storage in soil is shown to slow global warming

In a ground-breaking study, Lund University researchers have revealed the astonishing ability of microorganisms in soil to adapt to climate change.

Hottest days are warming twice as fast in North-West Europe

University of Oxford research reveals that the hottest days in North-West Europe are warming twice as fast as average summer days due to climate change.
