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.

Startups Are Turning These Unconventional Ingredients Into Butter, Oil
The slabs of butter atop sourdough at a recent tasting were smooth, creamy, and greasy, as you'd expect. But at this event in New York, the appetizers' buttery feel came from a potent greenhouse gas, not fat from cow milk.

Scientists Create Cleaner Polymers To Absorb CO2 and Improve Energy Tech
Researchers at Tohoku University have developed a new method for synthesising porous organic polymers (POPs) with high purity. By using iodine as an oxidant and removing residual impurities through ethanol washing, the polymers achieve superior porosity and CO2 adsorption efficiency. The study highlights their potential for gas separation, energy s...

Scientists Warn of Alarming Rise in Marine Heat Waves and Its Impact on Oceans
Reports indicate a sharp rise in marine heat waves, with 2023–2024 experiencing a 240% increase compared to past years. Scientists warn of devastating effects on marine life, including mass die-offs, coral reef degradation, and increased storm intensity. Coastal communities are at risk as extreme weather events linked to warming oceans become mor...

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...

Concerns Rise Over Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation Stability and Climate Impact
A new study suggests the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) has remained stable over the past six decades, but experts remain divided. While some scientists argue the system has not weakened, others believe potential future disruptions to AMOC are inevitable, with major climate implications, including extreme weather events and cold...

Tree Crops Overlooked in Policies Despite Critical Role in Sustainability Goals
Tree crops, covering over 183 million hectares globally, are vital for biodiversity, food production, and climate action. Researchers have urged sustainable policies to harness their full potential, highlighting their role in addressing rural poverty, mitigating climate change, and supporting ecosystems. These systems offer year-round habitats, red...

2024 Marks Earth's Hottest Year Ever, Surpassing Critical 1.5 degree Celsius Warming Limit
In 2024, Earth recorded its hottest year ever, surpassing the critical 1.5 degree Celsius warming threshold for the first time in history. This significant temperature increase has been linked to intensified weather events, rising sea levels, and widespread environmental damage. The year saw an alarming rise in climate-related disasters, with the U...
