Climate
A new Nature study warns the Amazon rainforest could reach a tipping point by the 2040s due to combined deforestation and climate warming. The research indicates that 22-28% deforestation with 1.5-1.9°C warming could trigger irreversible ecosystem collapse.
Climate
The Mekong River delta and other major deltas worldwide are sinking due to climate change and subsidence, threatening food security for millions. The crisis particularly impacts Vietnam's Cần Thơ and other densely populated delta regions that are critical to global food production.
Climate
Rising seas could make New Orleans uninhabitable by century's end, according to a new paper. Researchers are calling for managed retreat from the city as climate-driven sea level rise poses an existential threat.
Climate
A new study concludes New Orleans has reached a critical point requiring immediate relocation due to sea level rise and wetland erosion that could surround the city with ocean waters by century's end. The research warns that Louisiana's cultural hub faces submersion within decades as the climate crisis accelerates coastal degradation.
Policy
Colombia hosted nearly 60 countries at a first-ever conference on transitioning away from fossil fuels in Santa Marta. The pivotal talks aim to reduce global dependence on coal, gas, and oil in favor of clean energy.
Policy
Trump administration fires independent scientific advisors and cuts federal research funding across multiple agencies. The moves weaken scientific oversight and cancel grants for ideological reasons.
Climate
Indonesia's deforestation rates surged in 2025, reversing years of progress and reaching levels unseen in nearly a decade. The reversal marks a significant setback for one of the world's most important forest regions.
Policy
The Trump administration canceled two permitted US wind energy projects and agreed to refund millions to companies if reinvested in oil and gas. Officials cited energy security and affordability as reasons for prioritizing conventional energy sources over renewables.
Energy
Global energy transition depends on concentrated mineral supply chains vulnerable to political disruption rather than resource scarcity. China dominates processing while America and Europe face fragility in battery and clean tech manufacturing systems.
Climate
Scientists are monitoring the tropical Pacific Ocean for signs of a strong El Niño event that could significantly impact global climate patterns. The phenomenon could affect storms, fisheries, and rainfall patterns worldwide while potentially locking Earth into a hotter climate.
Policy
A coalition of 54 countries and various organizations is convening in Colombia to negotiate the first global agreement on phasing out fossil fuels, bypassing traditional COP stalemates. The conference aims to establish a coordinated transition to low-carbon energy sources.
Ocean
The Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), a critical ocean current system, faces potential collapse due to global warming. Scientists warn this tipping point could have severe consequences for climate patterns and marine ecosystems.
Wildlife
Emperor penguins and Antarctic fur seals have been officially designated as endangered species due to climate change impacts. The story examines the threats these species face and potential solutions for their conservation.
Opinion
Scientists warn that the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation is more likely to collapse than previously thought. George Monbiot argues billionaire influence over politics prevents adequate response to existential climate crises.
Energy
Solar and wind generated six times more capacity than other power sources combined in 2025, supplying nearly all new electricity demand globally. Countries like Australia and several European nations led rapid expansion of these renewable sources.
Policy
Nearly half of US children are exposed to dangerous air pollution levels, according to the American Lung Association's 27th annual report measuring ground-level ozone and particle pollution from 2022-2024. Experts warn that Trump's environmental rollbacks will exacerbate the public health crisis.
Ocean
An ongoing oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico threatens vulnerable marine habitats and nesting grounds during sea turtle breeding season. Mexican state oil company Pemex has acknowledged responsibility for the environmental disaster.
Energy
The world installed 605 GW of new solar PV capacity in 2025, generating 600 TWh of electricity. This marks the largest single-year electricity generation increase from any source outside post-crisis recovery periods, according to the IEA.
Climate
The first three months of 2026 rank as the fourth warmest on record, with a strong El Niño pattern positioning 2026 to become the second-warmest year ever.
Energy
Renewable energy has surpassed coal as the world's largest source of electricity in 2025, marking a historic milestone in the global energy transition away from fossil fuels.
Energy
Global energy demand growth slowed in 2025 while electricity use continued surging. Solar energy achieved a major milestone by overtaking all other energy sources, according to the IEA.
Policy
President Trump signed memos to expand US oil, coal, and natural gas production, citing national defense and energy security concerns. The orders build on a January 20, 2025 executive order declaring a national energy emergency.
Policy
Brazil is using a legal loophole to issue bids for a highway project through the Amazon that scientists warn could push the rainforest toward an irreversible tipping point.
Opinion
Actor Jason Momoa warns that up to 90% of coral reefs could be lost at 1.5C of warming, calling 2026 a critical turning point for reef conservation. Momoa emphasizes the cultural and ecological importance of coral reefs, particularly in Hawaii.
Climate
The U.S. Senate voted 50-49 to allow sulfide mining in the Boundary Waters watershed, overturning a previous ban. The decision, backed by the Trump Administration, permits toxic mining in one of America's most visited wilderness areas.
