US Sets New Paris Climate Target That Trump Is Expected To Ignore
President Joe Biden's administration has set a new US target under the Paris climate agreement to slash greenhouse gas emissions by 61%-66% below 2005 levels by 2035.

Permafrost Thawing Could Accelerate Climate Change, Here’s What It Means
Permafrost, a frozen layer rich in organic matter, is degrading due to rising temperatures. By the end of the century, researchers predict significant thawing, releasing carbon into the atmosphere. In a study by Zhengzhou University and Purdue University, thawing scenarios under two climate pathways (SSP126 and SSP585) project the release of up to ...

One-Third of Earth's Species Could Face Extinction by 2100 Due to Climate Change
A new study has warned that up to a third of Earth's species could face extinction by 2100 due to rising global temperatures. The research, published in Science, highlights how climate change is accelerating extinction risks, especially for amphibians and species in isolated ecosystems. With emissions continuing at current rates, the risk of extinc...

Arctic Ocean Likely to Experience Ice-Free Day by 2027, Study Warns
A study published in Nature Communications predicts the Arctic Ocean could face its first ice-free day as early as 2027, marking a critical environmental milestone. Conducted using 11 climate models and 366 simulations, the research highlights the urgent need for emission reductions. The loss of sea ice in the Arctic exacerbates global warming thro...

Explained: How Methane Emissions Threaten Climate Goals
Fast-rising methane emissions could undermine efforts to limit global warming by mid-century, prompting scientists and policymakers to urge aggressive action to curb output of the potent greenhouse gas.

2024 Set to Become Hottest Year on Record, Claim EU Scientists
2024 is projected to become the world’s hottest year, surpassing previous temperature records. With global temperatures exceeding 1.5°C above pre-industrial levels, the surge is mainly due to human-driven climate change, compounded by the El Niño weather pattern. Scientists warn that without decisive global action, further warming and extreme w...

Not Just Carbon Dioxide, Other Greenhouse Gases Are Too Warming The Planet
While carbon dioxide (CO2) is the best-known greenhouse gas, several others, including methane and nitrous oxide, are also driving global warming and altering the Earth's climate.

Thawing Permafrost Releases Greenhouse Gases, Contributing to Global Warming
Recent studies reveal alarming changes in the Arctic's permafrost, which has been a significant carbon reservoir for millennia. As temperatures rise, thawing permafrost is releasing greenhouse gases, particularly methane. This shift is changing the region from a carbon sink to a net contributor to global warming. Research indicates that emissions f...

Explained: What Is Climate Finance, Why It Is A Key Issue At COP29
Climate finance is money spent in a manner "consistent with a pathway towards low greenhouse gas emissions and climate-resilient development", as per phrasing used in the Paris agreement.

Siberian Craters Explained: Thawing Permafrost and Methane Gas Trigger Explosive Craters
Researchers have revealed the cause behind the enormous craters found in Siberia's permafrost, linking them to thawing conditions and explosive methane gas releases. As the surface melts, water seeps into ancient cryopegs, pockets of salty water trapped beneath the permafrost. The resulting pressure build-up causes cracks to form, leading to explos...
