Due to warming temperatures more than two-thirds of polar bears are expected to be extinct by 2050 with total extinction predicted by end of this century

Glaciers to reach peak rate of extinction in the Alps in eight years. About 200,000 glaciers remain worldwide, with about 750 disappearing each year

Early IPCC estimates of sea level rise turned out to be stunningly precise

Retraction notice to "Safety evaluation and risk assessment of the herbicide roundup and its active ingredient, glyphosate, for humans" - Concerns were raised regarding the authorship of this paper

Over a third of animals lost in test deep sea mining - Machines mining minerals in the deep ocean have been found to cause significant damage to life on the seabed, scientists carrying out the largest study of its kind say.

Scientists have tracked Atlantic white-sided dolphins swimming over 1,000 km across the North Atlantic to reach the nutrient-rich Irminger Sea, revealing a previously unknown long-distance migration and key feeding hotspot.

Narrowed uncertainty in future global temperature and remaining carbon budget

Almost 8,000 animal species could be pushed closer to extinction by the end of this century as the interacting effects of climate change-driven extreme heat and human land-use change create increasingly unsuitable conditions across their habitats…

Over the past two decades, many European mountain birds have shifted toward colder, higher zones

New research shows that typhoons act as powerful vectors of ocean microplastics, revealing a direct physical link between plastic pollution and climate change and pointing to a feedback loop in which warming oceans intensify storms that spread plastic farther and faster across the planet.

Legume introduction enhances rhizosphere phosphorus availability through organic acid-induced dissolution and microbial transformation: Insights from an 11-year field experiment in grassland

A silent ocean pandemic is wiping out sea urchins worldwide, likely driven by an unknown pathogen, and has reached the Canary Islands with unprecedented mass mortality, historic population lows, and near-total reproductive collapse among key reef grazers…

Downstream water quality impacts persist despite mountaintop coal mine reclamation in the Canadian Rocky Mountains

Higher nighttime temperatures are linked to shorter sleep times and lower sleep quality, especially for people with chronic health conditions, lower socioeconomic status…

Antarctica's only native insect is already ingesting microplastics, even in one of the planet's most remote regions

Arctic pollution may be altering key fat-derived signalling molecules in polar bears, with higher contaminant loads associated with increased inflammation and liver stress, highlighting potential long-term health impacts in a rapidly changing ecosystem.

Biomining viruses deliver rare earth elements but no toxic horrors of mining: Scientists genetically engineer a harmless virus that acts like a microscopic aquatic miner that can extract rare earth elements without causing ecosystem-killing pollution and destruction.

New study shows for first time that microplastics do not simply pass through digestive tract of farm animals

Research identifies lethal dose of plastics: less than 3 sugar cubes’ worth of plastics for seabirds; just over 2 baseballs’ worth of plastics for sea turtles; and about 1 soccer ball’s worth of plastics for marine mammals…
