Electric Vehicles Lead in Lifecycle Emission Cuts Over Petrol Cars: Report
BEVs emit far less greenhouse gases than ICE vehicles over their lifecycle, IIT Madras report shows - 33 tonnes versus 53.84 tonnes on India's current grid.

Scientists Warn Southern Ocean Could ‘Burp’ Stored Heat, Delaying Global Cooling for 100 Years
New modelling suggests the Southern Ocean could one day release the vast heat it has stored from greenhouse gas pollution. If CO₂ levels were pushed to net-negative, deep convection may trigger a sudden “thermal burp” that warms the planet for decades. Though idealised, the study shows how Antarctica’s surrounding seas could shape long-term...

Coffee Waste Could Make Concrete Stronger and Greener, Scientists Find
New research from RMIT University shows that spent coffee grounds can be transformed into biochar and used to replace a portion of sand in concrete, creating a stronger and more sustainable building material. Heating coffee waste at around 350°C without oxygen produces a fine biochar that boosts concrete’s 28-day strength by roughly 30% when use...

What Trump Quitting The Energy Transition Means For The World
The world has reached a hinge moment in the energy transition. Leaps in technology are making it possible to cut emissions faster and more cheaply than ever. At the same time, US President Donald Trump is reversing efforts to decarbonise the world's

Antarctica Nears Irreversible Climate Tipping Point, Scientists Warn
Antarctica is approaching irreversible climate thresholds, scientists warn. Rapid melting of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, record-low sea ice, and collapsing ocean systems could raise global sea levels by over 3 m. These interconnected changes threaten coastal cities and ecosystems, urging immediate emission cuts to prevent cascading global consequ...

Atmospheric Carbon Dioxide Soars to 424PPM, Marking Biggest Yearly Jump Ever
The WMO reports Earth’s atmospheric CO₂ reached 422.8 ppm in 2024 — the biggest annual rise ever recorded. Driven by fossil-fuel emissions, wildfires, and weakening carbon sinks, the surge intensifies global warming. Scientists warn that delayed emission cuts could entrench irreversible changes in weather, ecosystems, and sea levels.

Over 100 Million Buildings Worldwide Could Face Flooding Risk From Rising Seas, Study Warns
A McGill-led study warns that rising sea levels could endanger more than 100 million buildings across the Global South, with coastal infrastructure in Africa, Southeast Asia, and the Americas most at risk. The findings highlight the urgent need for emissions cuts and coastal adaptation.

China Unveils New Climate Goals, Plans 7-10% Emissions Cut by 2035
China has for the first time made specific emission cut pledges, though its goal of reducing planet-warming greenhouse gases just seven to 10 percent by 2035 is seen as far too modest.

The Cost Of Carbon Credits And How They Can Fight Climate Change
The European Commission has proposed an EU climate target for 2040 that allows countries to count carbon credits bought from developing nations towards the EU goal for the first time. The EU's climate targets need countries to cut emissions at home.
