As temperatures rise, the warmer atmosphere can hold more water vapor. Evaporation of water from land and oceans also increases. That water has to eventually come back to land and oceans.

Amidst our busy lives filled with work deadlines, family gatherings, and the latest binge-worthy TV shows, an urgent whisper grows louder each day: the call to action on climate change. 

Looking for a US ‘climate haven’ away from heat and disaster risks? Good luck finding one

 
The world is burning. Death Valley, Calif., shattered the record in July 2023 for the hottest temperature on earth

As Maui's fires raged on, fueled by a combination of drought, intense winds, and climate shifts, the reality of our times became inescapably clear: we are living the climate crisis.

In 2021, the United States witnessed the impact of natural hazards on nearly one in 10 homes. As climate change continues to shape our environment, it becomes imperative to identify the riskiest regions in the country.

We all have times when we feel anxious about our future; perhaps this is more acute for many people this summer as we experience unprecedented wildfires and heat waves due to the warming climate.

The world faces an unprecedented climate crisis as temperatures soar and heat records are shattered across the globe.

Have you ever heard of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation or AMOC? Don't worry if you haven't! It's not a daily discussion topic, but it's an integral part of our planet that scientists watch closely.

Global warming is a pressing issue that poses severe threats to our planet and all its inhabitants. In recent years, scientists have warned about the potential consequences of reaching a 3°C increase in global temperatures. 

Europe is currently in the midst of a heatwave. Italy, in particular, is expected to face blistering heat, with temperatures projected to reach 40℃ to 45℃.

These collapses might happen sooner than you’d think. Humans are already putting ecosystems under pressure in many different ways – what we refer to as stresses.

When a hurricane hits land, the destruction can be visible for years or even decades. Less obvious, but also powerful, is the effect hurricanes have on the oceans.

The slow-down of the Southern Ocean circulation, a dramatic drop in the extent of sea ice and unprecedented heatwaves are all raising concerns that Antarctica may be approaching tipping points.

Here are the alarming findings of a global scientific study on Earth's boundaries. Learn why urgent action is needed to address climate change, biodiversity, freshwater, nutrient use, and air pollution for a sustainable and just future.

A 2023 report warns of a 98% chance that one of the next five years will be the hottest on record, with a 66% chance of exceeding the crucial 1.5°C global warming threshold. Find out the alarming implications and the urgency for emissions reduction.

Discover how deep ocean currents around Antarctica are slowing down earlier than predicted, with profound implications for Earth's climate, sea level, and marine life.

New research uncovers the connection between human-caused climate change and the intensification of El Niño and La Niña events. Explore the impact of greenhouse gas emissions on Earth's climate system and understand the implications for weather patterns and extreme climate events.

Drought has direct consequences on our lives, not least because it threatens basic foodstuffs such as milk.

April 16, 2023: The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) has issued an El Nino Watch as part of its April ENSO outlook.

Sleeping at the height of summer can sometimes feel impossible. And with gruelling heatwaves becoming more common

While the days of overt climate denial are mostly over, there’s a distinct form of denial emerging in its stead. You may have experienced it and not even realised. It’s called implicatory denial

Nowhere is nature more vibrant than in Earth’s tropical forests. Thought to contain more than half of all plant and animal species, the forests around Earth’s equator have sustained foragers and farmers since the earliest days of humanity.
