Earth Could Cross A Dangerous Climate Tipping Point Within Four Years, Scientists Warn
The planet may be heading toward a climate milestone that experts have spent decades trying to avoid. New projections from the United Nations’ World Meteorological Organization suggest there is now a strong chance that global temperatures will continue climbing at a pace that pushes the Earth beyond one of the most important thresholds established by…
Why This El Niño Has Climate Experts Deeply Concerned
A vast pool of unusually warm water is spreading across the tropical Pacific, and scientists believe it could help drive the planet into another period of extraordinary heat. The arrival of El Niño is not unusual on its own. The climate pattern has appeared for centuries and typically returns every two to seven years. What…
Scientists Discover Huge Underwater Heat Mass Linked To Dangerous Super El Nino
A gigantic mass of unusually warm water is rapidly spreading beneath the Pacific Ocean, and climate scientists say it could fuel one of the strongest El Niño events seen in decades. Researchers monitoring the Pacific have identified an enormous undersea formation known as a Kelvin wave carrying temperatures up to 13.5 degrees Fahrenheit above normal…
NASA Releases Disturbing New Images As ‘Super El Niño’ Begins Forming Across Pacific
NASA scientists are closely monitoring a massive body of warm water spreading across the Pacific Ocean after newly released satellite images revealed conditions that could trigger a powerful El Niño event later this year. The enormous swell of higher and warmer water has already reached the coast of South America, and experts say the phenomenon…
If You Think It’s Hot Now, Brace for the Super El Niño Heading Our Way
Across the UK, people spent recent days crowding beaches and parks under a sky that felt more like high summer than late spring. For most, the heat was a pleasant surprise. For the scientists tracking ocean temperatures thousands of miles away in the tropical Pacific, it carried a different meaning entirely. What is forming out…
UN Report Puts 70% Odds on Earth Crossing the 1.5°C Climate Threshold by 2029, and Scientists Say the Probability Is Still Rising
For years, 1.5 degrees Celsius functioned as something between a scientific target and a moral line. World leaders agreed to it in Paris in 2015. Climate researchers cited it in warnings. Activists carried it on signs. It was the number that separated manageable disruption from something harder to contain, and for a decade, the scientific…
Alaska Villages Destroyed By Typhoon Say FEMA Wants Them Rebuilt Where Homes Were Swept Away
The floodwaters ripped homes straight off their foundations and carried some of them downriver with people still trapped inside. In western Alaska, entire Indigenous villages along the Bering Sea were left shattered after the remnants of Typhoon Halong slammed into the coast last October, leaving behind toxic floodwater, destroyed homes, and families scattered hundreds of…
A 190 MPH Super Typhoon Is Closing In On US Territory And It’s Still Growing
The ocean has once again shown how quickly it can shift from calm to catastrophic, as Super Typhoon Sinlaku surged across the Pacific with an intensity that has stunned meteorologists and placed entire island communities on edge. What began as a scattered cluster of disturbances over the Western Pacific evolved with alarming speed into a…
”Every Key Climate Indicator Is Flashing Red”: A Planet Running Out of Balance
Something unprecedented is happening to Earth’s climate system, and the numbers behind it tell a story that no generation before us has ever had to read. A new report from the World Meteorological Organization, released as the agency’s annual checkup on the state of the global climate, paints a picture so stark that even seasoned…
Scientists Warn Planet Could Become Uninhabitable as Climate Tipping Points Near
For decades, climate scientists have warned that the planet’s warming trend could eventually push Earth’s natural systems beyond their limits. Those warnings are becoming increasingly urgent. New research suggests that several of the planet’s most important environmental systems may be approaching dangerous tipping points that could permanently alter the global climate. If these thresholds are…
