While attention fixates on an AMOC collapse, a faster-responding subpolar tipping element could trigger severe European weather shifts and ocean cascades as early as the 2040s.

A new global report stresses the vulnerability of coral reefs to warming oceans, but together with affordable technology, provides some hope that time can be bought to protect these vital ecosystems.

We have breached 7 out of 9 Planetary Boundaries.The Planetary Health Check 2026 makes it clear: We have to act now.

AI has been getting a lot of bad press this week with concerns over the datacenter build out, alignment, safety, and of course, energy use and carbon emissions. Is it acceptable to use AI art?

Mineral dust affects Earth’s energy budget, clouds, and biochemistry, yet the evolution of the global dust cycle in recent decades remains shrouded in uncertainty. Here we reconstruct the global dust ...

Disentangling aerosol unmasking from cloud feedbacks in the CERES satellite record and what a darker Earth means for accelerating warming and the Solar Geoengineering debate.

New research argues no other concept reflects our planet-wide transformation in its proper context of deep time.

Half of the CO₂ that humans emit into the atmosphere each year is safely recaptured for free by the Earth’s biological and chemical systems. Warming projections rely on this continuing, but will it?

Records are tumbling and impacts not expected until mid-century are now hitting every continent - what happened?

New research is showing that absolute temperature thresholds, like 1.5° or 2°C, are not as important as the warming rate itself. Systems need time to adapt and can fail early if pushed too fast.

The world is bracing, quite rightly, for a newly confirmed and likely very strong El Niño event, but the real risks lay in what follows.

Recent surface warming and top-of-atmosphere energy imbalance point to higher future warming than previously estimated Previous constraints on transient climate response using observed surface te...

What's really happening to our climate? Are we facing risks of even greater disruption, as planetary systems are pushed beyond tipping points? How does El Niño complicate m

International courts have declared that passing 1.5°C triggers legal liability—but our insistence on historic averages means we won’t legally recognise the crime until after the damage is irreversible

A major incident is declared due the number of resources required to fight moorland blaze.

Methane is a powerful greenhouse gas but is short lived. This makes it a strong warming driver but also a fast acting brake if emissions are cut. A natural feedback lurks in the permafrost though.

Decarbonisation, Carbon Dioxide Removal and Solar Geoengineering all have the potential to reduce the Earth’s Energy Imbalance. Will we need all three to stabilise the climate?

Astronomers are deeply worried that a planned array of 50,000 mirror-bearing satellites in orbit will severely compromise telescopes.

Under the proposals, the EU plans to relax its emissions trading system to give companies more time to reduce their carbon output.

The science of Extreme Weather Attribution is used to assign a climate change contribution to the seasonal climate as well as individual weather events, but how does it work?

An 'exceptional' red warning for wildfire has been issued for much of England and Wales. This is only the second time we've had this level of alert - so it's serious. It's the result of the endles...

Sea level rise may hit more slowly than heatwaves, but it is relentless and unstoppable. Building defences is costly and takes time, so what level of protection should Governments plan for?

Model study designed to investigate the ocean impact on European heat waves by prescribing observed and realistic ocean surface conditions Cold subpolar North Atlantic sea surface temperatures si...

Two recent papers show the importance of the Barents Seaway in sustaining the AMOC today as well as helping to shape the evolution of the ice age through the mid-Pleistocene Transition.

An interactive tool to explore deforestation flows across the world.

Why is Western Europe so mild for its latitude? Discover how ocean currents move heat across the globe and shape the climates we live in.

How breaking climate buffers, teleconnections, and feedbacks are synchronising into a self-amplifying domino effect that threatens to permanently push global temperatures past 1.5°C
