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.

NASA Reports 'Higher Than Expected' Sea Level Rise In 2024
NASA reports a higher-than-expected sea level rise in 2024, primarily due to thermal expansion of seawater, highlighting the urgent need to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate the devastating impacts of climate change.

Brazil Is Losing Surface Water To Climate Change, Land Conversion
Brazil is home to 12 per cent of Earth's freshwater reserves, much of it in the Amazon, but is losing natural surface water as climate change and land conversion from forest to farming take their toll, a report said Friday.

Atmospheric CO2 Levels Reach 8,00,000 Year-High In 2023: Report
The World Meteorological Organization's (WMO) State of the Climate report said the past 10 years (2015-2024) were the warmest on record, with each of the last eight years setting new highs for ocean heat content.

COP16 Report Warns Over 75% Of Global Land "Permanently Drier"
Just over 75 percent of the world's land has been left "permanently drier" over the previous three decades, a UN-backed report coinciding with COP16 talks on desertification in Saudi Arabia said on Monday.

China Is Reportedly Trying to Protect Its Potatoes From Rising Temperatures and Climate Change Impact
In China, a major potato-producing nation, researchers are racing to develop heat-resistant potato varieties as global warming threatens crop yields. A study led by the International Potato Center (CIP) in Beijing indicates that higher temperatures, predicted by the end of the century, could accelerate tuber growth but lead to reduced harvests.

Global Freshwater Levels Decline Since 2014, NASA-German Satellites Reveal
Data from NASA and German satellites reveal Earth's freshwater levels declined significantly after May 2014, with storage remaining persistently low. Research attributes this to global warming, major droughts, and human activity such as irrigation. The trend raises concerns over water stress, food security, and long-term environmental stability.
