US has caused $10tn worth of climate damage since 1990, research finds

A 10-year study reveals that cigarette butts never truly disappear from the environment

The 2021 Pacific Northwest heatwave triggered "cascading" ecological disasters, killing 92% of mussels and 56% of sea ducks

Wildfire smoke PM2.5 is linked to ~24,100 deaths annually in the U.S., a 2026 study reports

A decade-long study reveals that Sweden’s old-growth forests store up to 89% more carbon than managed forests

Sunken Soviet Submarine Is Quietly Leaking Radiation Decades Later

Beavers can turn streams into carbon stores, creating wetlands that that store eight times more organic carbon than nearby forest soils.

Extreme drought–heatwave events have increased nearly 8× since the early 2000s, a 2026 study in Science Advances reports

Ammonia from pig farms fuels hidden nitrous oxide emissions that exceed IPCC estimates

New ice core studies expand histories of greenhouse gases and ocean temperature to 3 million years

Warming coastal waters are the "primary driver" of massive, large-scale humid heat waves

A study in Biological Conservation reveals that culling "pest" species in France costs €123 million annually, which is 8 times the cost of the actual damage they cause

Europe has enough agricultural waste and wood scraps to completely replace fossil fuels in road transport, a new study finds

Nearly two-thirds of electronic devices discarded in Canada are still fully functional

Global warming has accelerated significantly since 2015

A new study estimates the Israel–Gaza war has generated ~33 million metric tons of CO2e—equivalent to the annual emissions of 7.6 million cars

Heat waves that spark damaging droughts are happening more frequently

Fish are shrinking and dying at higher rates as they adapt to record-high ocean temperatures

A 16-year study across South Africa reveals that half of the region's bird of prey species have suffered significant population declines

Climate change has doubled the time per year that millions face heat so extreme that everyday activities like sweeping are unsafe

Conservatives underestimate the environmental impact of sustainable behaviors compared to liberals

Current climate models rely on unproven tech because they refuse to question economic growth

Subway systems are uncomfortably hot — and worsening. As above-ground temperatures rise, below-ground thermal complaints increase

Climate model averages may be creating a "false sense of security": New research shows that even at 2°C of warming, worst-case scenarios for droughts, extreme rainfall, and wildfires could be more severe than what is currently expected for a 3°C or 4°C world.

Scientists may be overestimating the amount of microplastics in the environment due to accidental contamination from lab gloves, which release stearate salts that are structurally similar to polyethylene and difficult to distinguish from plastics using standard vibrational spectroscopy

A new finds that a majority of people across the globe favor protecting the environment over growing the economy when the two goals conflict

AMOC continued to transport warm, salty water northwards during the last ice age despite extensive ice sheets challenging the long-held view that Atlantic circulation weakened significantly during the coldest phase of the last ice age.

A global analysis of 2,300 seawater samples reveals that human-made chemicals now make up a significant portion of coastal organic matter

Stabilizing time-lagged climate impacts requires net-negative emissions for centuries
