A Planetary Crisis
The Doomsday Glacier, or Thwaites Glacier as it's more correctly known, is one of the most concerning ice sheets in Antarctica. The thin ice shelf that keeps it in place has been cracking for some time now, and the latest research strongly suggests that ice shelf could give way at [...]
A Super El Niño is here. We've all heard about it in the news. But what effect will it have on an already rapidly warming Arctic? I ask a proper scientist for some guidance.
India is entering one of the most energy-intensive periods of economic development in its history — but unlike China, Britain or America before it, much of its new electricity could come from the sun rather than fossil fuels. Solar capacity is soaring, batteries are getting cheaper and renewables are supplying [...]
A new study suggests that warming land masses may be quietly pulling the world's monsoon systems northwards, with profound implications for food production, water security and the lives of billions of people. If the authors are right, this could represent an important missing piece in our understanding of how climate [...]
The Austrian daily newspaper Der Standard (Karin Krichmayr) from Vienna interviewed climate researcher Anders Levermann.
Experts say the real threat isn’t slower warming—it’s the volatile chaos in between. For more than two decades, climate scientist Anders Levermann has studied a danger that the world has largely overlooked: what happens not when our climate finally tips over the edge, but during the chaotic tumble itself, continue [...]
Kippt die AMOC? Der Golfstrom und Europas Klima im Gespräch mit Prof. Stefan Rahmstorf. Früher galt der Zusammenbruch der großen atlantischen Meereszirkulation (Volksmund: Golfstrom) als hochgefährliches, aber unwahrscheinliches Szenario. Doch neue Klimadaten und verbesserte Klimamodelle zeigen: Das Risiko für das Erreichen dieses Kipppunktes ist dramatisch gestiegen. Die Folgen für Europa [...]
A rapidly intensifying patch of warm water in the central Pacific is reshaping global weather patterns, potentially disrupting food supplies across multiple continents, and pushing global temperatures toward territory humanity has never measured. On June 11, 2026, NOAA's Climate Prediction Center issued an El Niño Advisory, marking the official onset [...]
Pacific gray whales are washing ashore in alarming numbers this year, raising concerns about the species' future and prompting marine advocates to call for renewed federal protections. The deaths represent the latest chapter in a troubling population decline linked directly to climate change and its cascading effects on Arctic ecosystems.
