Climate
Scientists warn that global warming will exceed the 1.5-degree threshold, triggering irreversible tipping points including ice sheet melting and Amazon rainforest collapse. The world is approaching critical climate thresholds with cascading consequences that cannot be reversed.
Climate
Scientists are monitoring the tropical Pacific Ocean for signs of a strong El Niño event that could significantly impact global climate patterns. The phenomenon could affect storms, fisheries, and rainfall patterns worldwide while potentially locking Earth into a hotter climate.
Policy
A coalition of 54 countries and various organizations is convening in Colombia to negotiate the first global agreement on phasing out fossil fuels, bypassing traditional COP stalemates. The conference aims to establish a coordinated transition to low-carbon energy sources.
Ocean
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a critical ocean current system, faces potential collapse due to global warming. Scientists warn this tipping point could have severe consequences for climate patterns and marine ecosystems.
Wildlife
Emperor penguins and Antarctic fur seals have been officially designated as endangered species due to climate change impacts. The story examines the threats these species face and potential solutions for their conservation.
Opinion
Scientists warn that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is more likely to collapse than previously thought. George Monbiot argues billionaire influence over politics prevents adequate response to existential climate crises.
Energy
Solar and wind generated six times more capacity than other power sources combined in 2025, supplying nearly all new electricity demand globally. Countries like Australia and several European nations led rapid expansion of these renewable sources.
Policy
Nearly half of US children are exposed to dangerous air pollution levels, according to the American Lung Association's 27th annual report measuring ground-level ozone and particle pollution from 2022-2024. Experts warn that Trump's environmental rollbacks will exacerbate the public health crisis.
Ocean
An ongoing oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico threatens vulnerable marine habitats and nesting grounds during sea turtle breeding season. Mexican state oil company Pemex has acknowledged responsibility for the environmental disaster.
Energy
The world installed 605 GW of new solar PV capacity in 2025, generating 600 TWh of electricity. This marks the largest single-year electricity generation increase from any source outside post-crisis recovery periods, according to the IEA.
Climate
The first three months of 2026 rank as the fourth warmest on record, with a strong El Niño pattern positioning 2026 to become the second-warmest year ever.
Policy
Brazil is using a legal loophole to issue bids for a highway project through the Amazon that scientists warn could push the rainforest toward an irreversible tipping point.
Policy
President Trump signed memos to expand US oil, coal, and natural gas production, citing national defense and energy security concerns. The orders build on a January 20, 2025 executive order declaring a national energy emergency.
Energy
Global energy demand growth slowed in 2025 while electricity use continued surging. Solar energy achieved a major milestone by overtaking all other energy sources, according to the IEA.
Energy
Renewable energy has surpassed coal as the world's largest source of electricity in 2025, marking a historic milestone in the global energy transition away from fossil fuels.
Opinion
Actor Jason Momoa warns that up to 90% of coral reefs could be lost at 1.5C of warming, calling 2026 a critical turning point for reef conservation. Momoa emphasizes the cultural and ecological importance of coral reefs, particularly in Hawaii.
Climate
The U.S. Senate voted 50-49 to allow sulfide mining in the Boundary Waters watershed, overturning a previous ban. The decision, backed by the Trump Administration, permits toxic mining in one of America's most visited wilderness areas.
Climate
Recent research indicates the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation could collapse significantly sooner than previous models predicted. The potential early collapse of this critical ocean current system poses major implications for global climate patterns.
Opinion
Organized crime and environmental crime are converging in the Amazon, accelerating deforestation and degradation. This nexus threatens the forest's climate regulation capacity and undermines governance in the region.
Climate
Satellites have revealed extensive illegal gold mining across 7,940 hectares of forest in Brazil's Kayapó Indigenous Territory in the Amazon. The expansion threatens both the rainforest ecosystem and the Indigenous community's lands.
Climate
Major oil and gas companies earned over $30m per hour in windfall profits during the first month of Middle East conflict as oil prices surged to $100/barrel. Analysis projects $234bn in excess profits by end of 2026 for companies including Saudi Aramco, Gazprom, and ExxonMobil.
Climate
Climate deniers gathered at a Heartland Institute conference to promote misinformation as March was confirmed as the U.S.'s hottest month on record. Trump's EPA chief Lee Zeldin's attendance demonstrates increased influence of climate skeptics on federal policy.
Ocean
Scientists have discovered a research blind spot showing tens of millions more people face coastal flooding risk than previously thought. Sea levels are higher and land is sinking faster than existing models indicated.
Climate
Indonesia experienced its highest forest loss in eight years, driven significantly by agricultural expansion converting rainforest into rice and sugarcane plantations. The mega-farm development represents a major driver of deforestation in the region.
Climate
China continues expanding coal-fired power plants despite becoming a renewables leader, with new five-year plans projected to accelerate coal development. Analysts warn this coal dependency threatens the nation's ability to meet its climate commitments.
