June Was Hottest On Record In Western Europe: Climate Monitor
Western Europe sweltered through its hottest June on record last month, as "extreme" temperatures blasted the region in punishing back-to-back heatwaves, the EU climate monitor Copernicus said Wednesday.

World's Biggest Polluter? It's The US Military, Says Shocking Study
The study reveals that the US military is the single largest institutional emitter of greenhouse gases in the world. Researchers suggest that reducing military spending could significantly lower energy use and help combat climate change.

Warm Seas Fuel Dangerous 'Weather Bomb' Set To Hit New South Wales Coast
Right now, a severe storm likely to be the first significant east coast low in three years is developing off the coast of New South Wales.

Rock On: How Crushed Stone Could Help Fight Climate Change
From sugar plantations in Brazil to tea estates in India, crushed rock is being sprinkled across large stretches of farmland globally in a novel bid to combat climate change. The technique is called Enhanced Rock Weathering (ERW).

Earth's Orbit and Tilt Linked to Ice Age Cycles, Next One Delayed by Climate Change
Scientists have discovered a strong link between Earth's tilt and past ice ages, predicting the next glacial period would have started in 11,000 years. However, rising greenhouse gas emissions are disrupting these natural cycles. The research, based on ocean sediment data, supports the theory that Earth's obliquity governs ice expansion while prece...

Ocean Warming Rate Quadruples Over Four Decades, Accelerating Climate Change
New research highlights a troubling acceleration in ocean warming, with the rate of temperature rise quadrupling since the 1980s. According to a study in Environmental Research Letters, ocean surface temperatures now rise at 0.27°C per decade, up from 0.06°C. This rapid warming, driven by greenhouse gases like CO2 and methane, is worsening Earth'...

Microbes Uncovered in Amazon Peatlands Could Alter Global Carbon Dynamics
Microscopic organisms found in the tropical peatlands of Peru’s northwestern Amazon are helping regulate the carbon cycle, a key factor in Earth’s climate. These microbes, part of the Bathyarchaeia group, thrive in waterlogged, oxygen-deprived conditions and exhibit unique metabolic behaviours that either store or release carbon. Researchers wa...

Permafrost Thawing Could Accelerate Climate Change, Here’s What It Means
Permafrost, a frozen layer rich in organic matter, is degrading due to rising temperatures. By the end of the century, researchers predict significant thawing, releasing carbon into the atmosphere. In a study by Zhengzhou University and Purdue University, thawing scenarios under two climate pathways (SSP126 and SSP585) project the release of up to ...

2024 Set to Become Hottest Year on Record, Claim EU Scientists
2024 is projected to become the world’s hottest year, surpassing previous temperature records. With global temperatures exceeding 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, the surge is mainly due to human-driven climate change, compounded by the El Niño weather pattern. Scientists warn that without decisive global action, further warming and extreme w...

Not Just Carbon Dioxide, Other Greenhouse Gases Are Too Warming The Planet
While carbon dioxide (CO2) is the best-known greenhouse gas, several others, including methane and nitrous oxide, are also driving global warming and altering the Earth's climate.

Thawing Permafrost Releases Greenhouse Gases, Contributing to Global Warming
Recent studies reveal alarming changes in the Arctic's permafrost, which has been a significant carbon reservoir for millennia. As temperatures rise, thawing permafrost is releasing greenhouse gases, particularly methane. This shift is changing the region from a carbon sink to a net contributor to global warming. Research indicates that emissions f...

Record Greenhouse Gas Levels In 2023 Signal Decades Of Warming: Report
The 2024 Greenhouse Gas Bulletin highlights that both industrial emissions and reduced forest absorption have accelerated this increase.

7 Dead, 3 Missing After Heavy Rain, Floods Hit China: Report
China is enduring a summer of extreme weather, with heavy rains battering swathes of the country and many regions enduring sweltering heat waves, is by far the world's largest emitter of the greenhouse gases says scientists.

World Braces For Hottest 5 Years, UN Forecast Spells Heat Nightmare
It is near-certain that 2023-2027 will be the warmest five-year period ever recorded, the United Nations warned Wednesday as greenhouse gases and El Nino combine to send temperatures soaring.

Human Activity Creates Systemic Warming Pool in the Pacific Ocean; Causing Loss of Aquatic Wildlife, Ecology
Scientists have identified that the systemic warming in a pool of water present in the northeast Pacific Ocean is due to human activities and not from natural climatic variations. The pool of water has witnessed a surface water temperature increase of up to 3 degrees Celsius since 1996. The three million square kilometres body has been seeing a ris...
