A Planetary Crisis
University of Granada researchers have deployed the first floating platform with eddy covariance technology in Spain to continuously monitor greenhouse gas emissions from a reservoir—revealing critical climate vulnerabilities.
Research on patterns of surface mass balance and melt on the Greenland Ice Sheet, how atmospheric circulation and surface characteristics accelerate ice loss.
Pure electric vehicles were registered more frequently than any other powertrain type for the first time in June 2026, marking a significant shift in Germany's automotive market. According to the Federal Motor Transport Authority (KBA), 84,057 battery electric vehicles (BEVs) were registered in June 2026, representing 28.4% of the market—a [...]
Eine ungewöhnliche Nachfrage in Zeiten der Hitzerekorde - Die aktuellen Hitzewellen in Deutschland sorgen für ein überraschend unerwartetes Phänomen: Rettungsdecken sind plötzlich begehrt wie nie zuvor – allerdings nicht aus medizinischen Gründen. Statt im Erste-Hilfe-Kasten für Notfallsituationen eingesetzt zu werden, erfreuen sich die silber- und goldfarbenen Folien derzeit einer völlig [...]
“Very severe ice loss”: researcher says snow reserves on Alpine glaciers could be used up within days.
New research published in Nature Communications demonstrates that super El Niño events—dramatically increase the probability of climate regime shifts.
Europe gripped by unprecedented June heat wave as climate change amplifies extreme temperatures. Climate change amplifies both the frequency and severity of life-threatening heat waves. This week, Europe faces extraordinarily early and intense heat that is shattering June records across multiple nations. An upper-level high-pressure system is driving dangerous temperatures [...]
Jim Hansen redefines "runaway climate" as a climate system pushed beyond a critical threshold where devastating, irreversible consequences for young people become locked in and unavoidable. This chapter from his book Sophie's Planet uses Venus and Mars as cautionary comparisons to understand Earth's climate future, continue reading.
Over 260 researchers gathered in Milan to discuss scaling carbon dioxide removal (CDR) technology to combat climate change. CDR must increase from 2.2 billion tonnes of CO2 per year today to 8.8 billion tonnes by 2050 to meet the Paris Agreement’s 1.5°C goal.
