Arctic Report Card Flags Fast Warming, Record Heat and New Risks
The 2025 Arctic Report Card shows the Arctic is warming faster than expected, with record heat, shrinking ice, stronger storms, and rusting rivers. Scientists warn that rising temperatures are reshaping ecosystems, threatening water safety, and increasing risks for Arctic communities. The changes highlight how quickly climate impacts are unfolding,...

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.
