January 2025 was 1.75°C above the pre-industrial level and was the 18th month in the last nineteen months for which the global-average surface air temperature was more than 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level.
Acclaimed climate scientist Professor James Hansen and colleagues recently wrote that global temperature will not fall much below +1.5°C level, instead they will be oscillating near or above that level for the next few years.
In just five years, 930 million cubic meters of crevasses opened up in the Greenland ice sheet, equivalent to adding a crack the size of the Great Pyramid of Giza to the world's second largest ice sheet every few days.
The team warns that if this trend continues, in only the next 20 years, we will exceed the sea surface temperature rise we've experienced in the last 40 years.
In recent years, the proliferation of conspiracy theories amid escalating climate disasters and their aftermath has become an alarming trend.
High summer temperatures caused record melting of the Norwegian archipelago’s glaciers.
A new review of over 200 papers finds 'hydroclimate whiplash' has increased considerably, most likely due to the atmosphere's rising capacity for absorbing and retaining moisture.
The year 2024 was the world’s warmest on record globally, and the first calendar year in which global temperatures exceeded 1.5°C above its pre-industrial levels.
Dramatic changes in the Arctic are being driven by high temperatures and intense wildfires. After storing carbon dioxide for millennia in frozen soil, the Arctic tundra has now become a source of emissions.
A team puts forward a possible explanation for the rise in global mean temperature: our planet has become less reflective because certain types of clouds have declined.
New research highlights the stark choice we face when it comes to climate change: solve the crisis now, or spend a lot more money and resources solving the crisis in the future, after environmental tipping points have been passed.
Researchers have used computer models to forecast when the Arctic Ocean might experience its first ice-free day.
Antarctica has shown a warming trend over the past 60 years, with the West Antarctic and Antarctic Peninsula regions showing a faster change.
By 2100, parts of the Arabian Peninsula could experience up to 9 degrees Celsius of warming.
Parts of the Great Barrier Reef have suffered the highest coral mortality on record, Australian research showed Tuesday, with scientists fearing the rest of it has suffered a similar fate.
