March 2025 tied 2024 and 2016 for the warmest March on record. 2025 has a 34% chance to be a record warm. The brief La Niña has ended.

Presenter: Dr. Robert Rohde, Chief Scientist, Berkeley Earth Host/Moderator: Kristen Sissener, Executive Director, Berkeley Earth Q&A Facilitator: Dr. Devin Rand, Research Scientist, Berkeley Earth Berkeley Earth invites you to our first-ever Monthly Press Briefing, where Dr. Robert Rohde will present and contextualize findings from our March 2025 Temperature Update. In this live, 30-minute session, we’ll cover: - Key takeaways from March 2025 Temperature Update - An overview of the current ENSO trends, including updates on the current La Niña conditions - Key drivers behind current climate and temperature trends - A live Q&A will follow the presentation This event marks the launch of a new monthly series designed to provide clear, timely insights from Berkeley Earth's team of independent climate scientists. Whether you're a journalist, policymaker, or simply climate-curious, you’ll leave better informed about the planet's latest signals. About Berkeley Earth: Berkeley Earth is a 501c3 nonprofit dedicated to delivering transparent, independent climate data and analysis. Our mission is to make scientific findings accessible and actionable for all, empowering informed dialogue and data-driven decision-making. As we move forward with some uncertainty around the continued availability of government reporting and analysis, we remain committed to making climate science open and accessible. This presentation will be geared towards climate journalists and media, but is open to the public. Please submit any questions to: admin@berkeleyearth.org Thank you!

The move will likely lead to higher costs for households across the state, and may push more insurers to leave, intensifying a home insurance crisis.

Climate researchers share theories behind apparent surge, though none have a full understanding yet of what has happened

Human-caused global warming has caused a third of weather-related insurance claims this century and the bill is rising fast, according to a new report.

Tipping points have gained substantial traction in climate change discourses. Here we critique the ‘tipping point’ framing for oversimplifying the diverse dynamics of complex natural and human systems and for conveying urgency without fostering a meaningful basis for climate action. Multiple social scientific frameworks suggest that the deep uncertainty and perceived abstractness of climate tipping points render them ineffective for triggering action and setting governance goals. The framing also promotes confusion between temperature-based policy benchmarks and properties of the climate system. In both natural and human systems, we advocate for clearer, more specific language to describe the phenomena labelled as tipping points and for critical evaluation of whether, how and why different framings can support scientific understanding and climate risk management. The tipping points framing is widely used in climate discussions but receives mixed feedback. This Perspective critiques it for oversimplifying the complexities of natural and social systems and failing to drive effective action, and offers recommendations for future improvements.
