Hot weather kills off 9.7% of disease carrying mosquitoes, but speeds up the virus in survivors and shifts human behaviour, driving a projected 76% rise in chikungunya cases.

Emissions since 2015 made Europe's summer extremes fiercer, and the June 2025 heatwave would likely have been 0.34°C cooler on 2015 levels.

A study using Mediterranean temperature and salinity records from 1950–2025 found the sea is warming and becoming saltier at an accelerating rate, with significant changes extending thousands of meters deep and surface warming since 2000 reaching 2–3 times the global ocean rate.

26 years of satellite data show Antarctic plankton tracks the ice: since 2015 ice is down 8.1%, plankton down up to 6.7%.

Since 1980, extreme rainfall in the U.S

Severe water scarcity across major wheat-growing regions explained about 74% of annual variation in global wheat prices from 2000 to 2021, while modeling projects average prices could reach $273 per tonne at 2°C of warming and $364 at 3°C.

A new hybrid weather-and-evaporation model flags flash drought onset, persistence and end up to 10 days ahead, catching over 70% of cases across the US and Europe.

Study of 220,000 deaths across Chicago found neighborhoods losing tree canopy over 11 years experienced higher mortality, while annual increases in urban tree cover were associated with fewer deaths…

The mysterious "cold blob" in the North Atlantic is caused by a weakening AMOC ocean current, a new study confirms

Climate change is making the Amazon's rain far more sensitive to deforestation

A simple ocean-based model predicts a powerful El Niño for late 2026, with temperatures projected to be over 2°C above normal

Direct evidence that a lake once existed at Gale Crater on mars, that became deeper over time - a deep lake such as this would have favourable conditions for life

Life may have been delivered to Venus' clouds from Earth or Mars

Wild animals act as "landscape engineers": A new meta-analysis shows how activities like burrowing and feeding accelerate the movement of soil and sediment by an average of 136% in freshwater and 66% in terrestrial ecosystems across the globe.

Human-driven climate change is slowing Earth’s rotation at a rate not seen in 3.6 million years

Global warming has accelerated significantly since 2015

Thwaites Glacier could shed 200 gigatonnes of ice annually by 2067—a loss rate equal to the entire Antarctic ice sheet today

Rising ocean temperatures are leaving mangrove forests "short of breath." A global study of 23 regions found high CO2 and low oxygen levels already push these nurseries to their limits, threatening the survival of sensitive fish species as stressful tidal cycles lengthen.

Global Warming Has Accelerated Significantly

The Amazon flipped to a net carbon source in 2023 releasing up to 170 million tons of CO2 as extreme heat—1.5°C above the 1991–2020 average—and drought weakened vegetation uptake more than fire activity according to new Max Planck Institute research.

Global population aging could reduce water withdrawals by up to 31% by 2050

A new study reveals that despite adaptation in some regions, floods, storms, and extreme heat since 1988 have driven a surge in mortality

Early IPCC estimates of sea level rise turned out to be stunningly precise

The rate of U.S

Shear-Zone Fractures Presage the Disintegration of Thwaites Eastern Ice Shelf

New findings show that melting Antarctic ice shelves and reduced sea ice could disrupt the formation of Antarctic Bottom Water, a key driver of global ocean circulation…

Ocean acidity can be measured by listening to ambient sound

Diminished Chandler Wobble After 2015: Link to Mass Anomalies in 2011

The 2nd IPCC assessment report (1995) presented Scenario IS92a, which matched real-world pCO2 since then rather well

With oil and gas production in many regions coming to an end, a lot of industrial data is becoming available for researchers
