June is on track for its 13th monthly heat record. The series may be over soon, but the dangerous heat won’t

Earth’s record-breaking streak of warmest months for more than a year continued in June, according to European climate research agency Copernicus. There is hope that the planet’s record-breaking heatwave will soon end, but the climate chaos it has brought is far from over, scientists said. Global temperatures in June hit a record high for the… Read More »

New report concludes human-caused global warming is at an all-time high

Last year alone, human activities such as burning coal for cheap energy caused our planet to warm by 1.3 degrees Celsius (2.34 Fahrenheit), according to a new report. Scientists say if we continue pumping heat-trapping greenhouse gases into the atmosphere at our current rate, we have about five years to push global warming beyond the… Read More »

New study reveals Earth is warming at record rates, but there’s no evidence climate change is accelerating

The Earth’s warming rate will reach an all-time high in 2023, with 92% of last year’s astonishing record-breaking heat caused by humans, top scientists have calculated. The group of 57 scientists from around the world used United Nations-approved methods to examine what was behind last year’s deadly heat explosion. They said that despite a higher… Read More »

Has climate change worsened Dubai’s deadly floods? Scientists think it’s very likely

Circumstantial evidence points to climate change worsening the deadly deluge that inundated Dubai and other parts of the Persian Gulf, but scientists have failed to discover the definitive fingerprints of greenhouse gas-induced warming they have seen in other extreme weather events, according to a new report. to create. Between 10 percent and 40 percent more… Read More »

Warmer world likely making deadly Dubai showers worse, study says

Circumstantial evidence shows that: climate change The deadly deluge that inundated Dubai and other parts of the Persian Gulf is getting worse, but scientists have failed to discover the definitive fingerprints of greenhouse gas-induced warming they have seen in other extreme weather events, a new report has found. In just one day last week, parts… Read More »

New study calculates the economic impact of climate change will reach nearly $38 trillion a year by 2049

Climate change will reduce future global income by about 19% over the next 25 years compared to a fictional world without warming, with the poorest regions and those least responsible for warming the atmosphere taking the biggest monetary hit, a new study has found. The economic impact of climate change in terms of how much… Read More »

Scientists can’t fully explain record global heat

The sun sets over Huntington Beach at the end of a warm December day in 2023. (Luis Sinco / Los Angeles Times) Deadly heat in the Southwest. Hot tub temperatures in the Atlantic Ocean. Sweltering conditions in Europe, Asia and South America. In some ways, it’s no surprise that 2023 will be Earth’s hottest year… Read More »

Ocean sponges show Earth has been warming for longer than thought; some scientists doubt

A handful of centuries-old sponges from deep in the Caribbean are leading some scientists to think that human-caused climate change is starting earlier and warming the world more than they thought. They calculate that the world has moved beyond the internationally approved goal of limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius (2.7 degrees Fahrenheit) since… Read More »
