From Ice Sheets To Oceans: The Climate Tipping Points That Worry Scientists
A climate tipping point is a critical threshold where a small environmental change can lead to dramatic and often irreversible shifts.

Climate Satellite MethaneSAT Fails After Just One Year in Orbit
MethaneSAT, a climate-monitoring satellite backed by Google and the Bezos Earth Fund, has failed after just one year in orbit. Launched in March 2024 to track methane leaks, the $88 million satellite lost power in June 2025. Though unrecoverable, mission operators will continue analyzing the collected data to support climate action and emission tra...

Praying The World Halts Climate Change? There's Now A Catholic Mass For That
A new rite published by the Vatican will allow priests to celebrate a Mass to exhort Catholics to exercise care for the Earth, in the latest push by the 1.4 billion-member global Church to address global climate change.

Japan Launches Final H-2A Rocket with GOSAT-GW Satellite to Monitor Climate and Oceans
Japan concluded the H-2A rocket program with the launch of the GOSAT-GW satellite, dedicated to monitoring greenhouse gases and sea temperatures. The mission strengthens Japan’s long-term commitment to climate research and marks a transition to the more cost-effective H3 launch system. Over its 25-year lifespan, H-2A recorded 49 successes out of ...

Earth Trapping More Heat Than Expected, Rate Doubled In 20 Years
How do you measure climate change? One way is by recording temperatures in different places over a long period of time. While this works well, natural variation can make it harder to see longer-term trends.

Global Warming Is Changing Cloud Patterns. That Means More Global Warming
At any given time, about two-thirds of Earths surface is covered by clouds. Overall, they make the planet much cooler than it would be without them.

Global Warming Clouds Changes Are Making Earth More Even Hotter: Study
At any given time, about two-thirds of Earth's surface is covered by clouds. Overall, they make the planet much cooler than it would be without them.

World May Exhaust 1.5 Degree Celsius Carbon Budget In 3 Years: Scientists
If the world continues to release carbon dioxide at the current rate, the carbon budget for limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius will be exhausted in just over three years, according to an international group of scientists.

Rise In Greenhouse Gas Release Causing More Extreme Weather, Scientists Warn
Humans are on track to release so much greenhouse gas in less than three years that a key threshold for limiting global warming will be nearly unavoidable, according to a study to be released Thursday.

Supernovas May Have Triggered Deadly Ancient Climate Shifts, and They Could Happen Again
New research links nearby supernovas to drastic shifts in Earth’s ancient climate. These cosmic explosions may have eroded the ozone layer, triggered global cooling, and even caused mass extinctions. Tree ring data supports the theory, raising concerns that future stellar events, like the expected Betelgeuse explosion, could again pose serious at...

Earth’s Oceans Enter Danger Zone Due to Rising Acidification, New Study Warns
A new 2025 study published in Global Change Biology shows Earth’s oceans may have entered a dangerous acidification zone in 2020. As CO₂ emissions increase, marine ecosystems are degrading, threatening biodiversity, food security, and coastal economies. Scientists call it a ticking time bomb for the environment and society.

US Researcher Proposes Detonating Massive Nuclear Bomb Under Ocean To Save Earth
Using a nuclear explosion yield of 81 gigatons, scientists can sequester 30 years' worth of carbon dioxide emissions, the study claimed.

Seismic Mystery Solved: NASA’s SWOT Satellite Detects Greenland Mega-Tsunamis
In September 2023, a global seismic mystery puzzled scientists for nine days. New research now confirms it was caused by two mega-tsunamis triggered by landslides in East Greenland. The waves became trapped in a fjord, forming seiches that shook the Earth. Using cutting-edge data from NASA’s SWOT satellite, scientists detected these hidden waves ...
