Fossil fuel emissions are down in 2026. Green energy isn’t the reason

HKS Researchers find Heat Pump Adoption Not Cost-Effective for Majority of Massachusetts Households

A new study found that global land temperatures are already 1.9°C above preindustrial levels, with northwestern North America reaching 3°C

Data centres are among the world’s fastest growing electricity consumers

New research suggests that current heatwaves are no match for what's to come

Scientists made a plant-based coating for paper coffee cups to replace the plastic lining

A study of nearly 1,000 cactus species across the Americas found that more than a quarter could lose at least 80% of their suitable habitat by 2100

A new study suggests that the concentration of floating microplastics within the Great Pacific Garbage Patch may be high enough to subtly alter the ocean's color, giving it a gradually growing cyan tint by brightening both blue and green wavelengths.

Research reveals that tropical areas previously assumed to be stable and protected from climate change are experiencing a significant surge in extreme heat days and changing rainfall patterns

A study found that wastewater pollution from the Tijuana River can travel 35 km (22 miles) through the Pacific Ocean before becoming airborne along San Diego's coast

A global study covering 189 countries estimates that very strong El Niño events are associated with 107,000 additional heat-related deaths annually, offset by 113,000 fewer cold-related deaths

Study of 141 bird and mammal species reduced to fewer than 50 wild individuals found 61% of those receiving direct conservation support recovered to at least 100 individuals, compared with just 2% without such support, showing that even severely endangered species can recover.

A scientific paper warns that worsening climate change could undermine humanity's ability to respond, as economic crises, political instability and weakened institutions reduce our capacity to cut emissions and adapt, potentially creating a dangerous feedback loop toward a “Hothouse Earth” scenario.

Climate change must be declared a "global health emergency" to shape governments' policies after heat caused three million deaths between 2016 and 2023

The scientific evidence for human-caused global warming is stronger than ever, according to a major new review – despite a United States government report questioning the science.

13-Year-old Raji Doshi named America's Top Young Scientist for inventing an algae-aragonite alkalinity system to reduce CO2-driven ocean acidification

California could lose up to 75% of its beaches by 2100, new climate assessment finds

A global study of 216,502 glaciers found that just 3.2% of glaciers, those ending in lakes, oceans or ice shelves, accounted for over half of global glacier ice loss from 2000 to 2019

New research reveals why adding crushed shells to beach sand helps protect shell-making animals — such as clams, oysters and mussels — from the detrimental effects of ocean acidification.
