Jean-Marc Jancovici is a well-known lecturer in France, and on YouTube, on the topics of energy and climate change. He focuses on the deep history and interconnections of the Earth’s consumption apparatus – how things are made, what things are made of, how energy is created, distributed and burned, and how the energy needs of […]
Asia is warming faster than the rest of the world, according to a new report from the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). The State of the Climate in Asia 2024 report, released Monday, shows the continent is heating up at twice the global average rate, leading to devastating impacts for ecosystems, societies and economies across the […]
Earth’s cloud cover has been shrinking rapidly, contributing to the world’s rising temperatures, according to a new NASA-led analysis of satellite observations. The researchers found that during each decade of the past 24 years, 1.5 to three percent of the planet’s “storm cloud zones” in the middle latitudes and tropics have been contracting. “This cloud […]
Leading climate scientists are warning that the timeframe to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees Celsius is shrinking, and the world could have just three years left to prevent breaching this limit. Experts warn the threshold could be passed within the next few years, with Piers Forster, director at the Priestley Centre for Climate Futures […]
The collapse of the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation (AMOC) — a system of ocean currents that pulls warm water from the Southern Hemisphere and the tropics to the Northern Hemisphere — could put some parts of the globe in a “deep freeze,” according to a new study by researchers from the Netherlands. The findings suggest […]
In an apparent attempt to dismantle Climate.gov, a major United States government website that supports climate science education, the Trump administration has fired all of its content production staff.

Trump said he wants to make disaster response and recovery the responsibility of states rather than the federal government. “We want to wean off of FEMA, and we want […]
As climate change brings worsening heatwaves and other extreme weather, scientists are warning that these conditions are more suitable for pathogens to spread disease. In a new study published in PLOS Climate, researchers investigated how heatwaves influenced a host, Daphnia magna or water fleas, and a parasite, Ordospora colligata. The team measured parasite fitness alongside […]
