Scientists have developed a new model purporting to skillfully predict El Niño and La Niña 15 months ahead of time. The first three months of 2026 were the fourth warmest on record, despite weak La Niña conditions suppressing temperatures. The start of the year has also seen record-low sea ice cover in the Arctic. Now, […]
Countries continue to turn to renewables for national security despite Trump’s attacks on wind and solar. Clean energy generation surpassed the global rise in electricity demand in 2025, pushing fossil fuel power into reverse for the first time ever, according to a new report. Record growth in solar, especially in China and India, was a driving […]
Renewables have been touted as the silver bullet to tackling climate change, but can they withstand our warming planet? The war on Iran has unexpectedly ignited a renewables race, as Europe grapples with the reality of its fossil fuel reliance. Oil and gas prices have yo-yoed significantly in recent weeks due to the stranglehold Iran […]
Scientists warn that no adaptation measure can sustain Venice as rising sea levels threaten to swallow the city. Venice may be forced to relocate in the future as scientists scramble to save it from the growing threat of flooding. A new study, published in the journal Scientific Reports, has assessed existing and potential adaptation strategies for […]
The findings come from an international study published in Scientific Reports, led by scientists from the National Centre for Earth Observation at the Universities of Leicester, Sheffield and Edinburgh. The research shows that forests across the continent, long known for pulling carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere, have reversed course and are now contributing to emissions. […]
A new study offers one of the clearest pictures yet of what happens as Arctic permafrost thaws. Led by geoscientist Michael Rawlins at the University of Massachusetts Amherst, the research provides detailed insight into how warming temperatures are reshaping water systems and releasing long-frozen carbon. The team examined a region of Alaska’s North Slope roughly […]
The EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) says global sea surface temperatures also reflect a “likely transition” toward El Niño conditions. Following an “exceptionally wet” February that triggered floods across the Mediterranean, Europe has witnessed its second-warmest March on record. New data from the EU’s Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), implemented by the European Centre […]
The country risks losing about 20 per cent of its beaches by 2050 and 45 per cent by 2100, according to a recent report. Italy has more than 8,000 kilometres of coastline, ranging from long sweeps of sandy beach to striking rock formations. But erosion of these natural wonders is now a critical environmental emergency. […]
More than half of the detached houses in France are under threat by rising temperatures, spurring the government to fight back. Rupturing pipes, distorted doors and windows, and huge cracks on your home. These are the threats that face more than 12 million properties in France, as heat-trapping gases continue to bake the planet and […]
‘Right now we surrender vast swathes of land for crops that we simply burn in our cars’, said one expert. Biofuels are being touted as the solution to Europe’s dwindling oil supplies, as the war on Iran continues to send prices soaring. European Commissioner Dan Jørgensen has urged nations to outline measures to reduce the use […]
