Ocean Warming Rate Quadruples Over Four Decades, Accelerating Climate Change
New research highlights a troubling acceleration in ocean warming, with the rate of temperature rise quadrupling since the 1980s. According to a study in Environmental Research Letters, ocean surface temperatures now rise at 0.27°C per decade, up from 0.06°C. This rapid warming, driven by greenhouse gases like CO2 and methane, is worsening Earth'...

The Day After Tomorrow Was Just A Warm-Up. Real Danger Looms, Warn Scientists
A new study has revealed that predicting the timing of catastrophic climate events, such as the collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC), is extremely difficult.

Heatwaves Accompanied By Sea Level Rise Happening More In Tropics: Study
At coastal locations globally, heatwaves accompanied by an extreme sea level rise in the short-term have significantly increased between 1998 and 2017, with the tropics seeing a "pronounced increase", according to new research.

Carbon Emission Cuts Need To Be 80% More Ambitious To Meet Paris Agreement Targets: Study
Carbon emission cuts need to be about 80 per cent more ambitious to stay below 2 degree Celsius global warming -- considered a threshold for climate stability and climate-related risks such as excessive heat, drought, extreme weather and sea level rise -- a new study says.

China Tests Spy Drones In Near Space 'Death Zone': Report
China has successfully tested high-altitude spy drones which could help it dominate "near space", a region of the Earth's atmosphere where the air is extremely thin and the temperature very low, a media report said today. "Near space" begins at 20 kilometres above sea level and is also known as the "death zone" for drones since most the machines ca...

Extreme Sea Level Rise May Become Yearly Phenomenon By 2050
Extreme sea levels, that are expected to be experienced once every 100 years on average, may become a yearly occurrence in many areas by 2050, a study warns.

Seas Are Now Rising Faster Than They Have In 2,800 Years, Scientists Say
A group of scientists says it has now reconstructed the history of the planet's sea levels arcing back over some 3,000 years - leading it to conclude that the rate of increase experienced in the 20th century was "extremely likely" to have been faster than during nearly the entire period.

Paris Climate Deal Throws 'Frayed Lifeline' To The Poor
A new global deal to tackle climate change, agreed in Paris on Saturday, is an important step towards protecting the poor from more extreme weather and rising seas - but does not offer enough funding or assurance that their rights will be respected, vulnerable countries and agencies working to support them said.

Climate "changing before our eyes": World Meteorological Organization
The fact that Arctic sea ice has melted this year to its lowest recorded level shows, along with other weather extremes, that "climate change is taking place before our eyes", the World Meteorological Organization (WMO) said on Wednesday.
