Antarctica sees similar climate change effects as Greenland: Study
The planet's warming climate is having effects in Antarctica that increasingly resemble those observed in the Arctic, meaning global sea levels could rise faster than previously predicted, Danish researchers warned on Friday.

Performance and long-term aging studies on Eco-Friendly Resistive Plate Chamber detectors
Resistive Plate Chambers detectors are extensively used in several domains of Physics. In High Energy Physics, they are typically operated in avalanche mode with a high-performance gas mixture based on Tetrafluoroethane (C2H2F4), a fluorinated high Global Warming Potential greenhouse gas. The RPC EcoGas@GIF++ Collaboration has pursued an intensive R\&D activity to search for new gas mixtures with low environmental impact, fulfilling the performance expected for the LHC operations as well as for…

"Brits still buying EVs, heat pumps and solar panels despite drop in polling support and political attacks, Sky News analysis finds"

Brits still buying EVs, heat pumps and solar panels despite drop in polling support and political attacks, Sky News analysis finds
Fresh polling by YouGov, carried out exclusively for Sky News, finds that belief in and concern about man-made global warming remains as high as in their heyday in 2021, when the UK hosted the COP26 climate summit.

Last year global temperatures were 1.6°C over the pre-industrial average, the first year to breach the 1.5° goal.
"One or two years that exceed 1.5°C above the pre-industrial level does not imply that the Paris Agreement has been breached. However, with the current rate of warming at more than 0.2°C per decade, the probability of breaching the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement within the 2030s is highly likely."

UN sees world's emissions falling 10% by 2035, far short of 60% goal
Global emissions of planet-warming greenhouse gases are expected to fall by about 10% by 2035, compared with 1990 levels, representing the first decline ever forecast by the United Nations. But the world remains well off course to keeping global warming below the 1.5 C leaders committed to when they signed the Paris Agreement a decade ago.

❄️ It’s freezing cold outside here in Germany, and this is an interesting explainer of why that is: a warming event in the polar region is leading to an early collapse of the polar vortex, so Europe and North America are flooded with cold air, while the North Pole is unusually warm. #weather #climate

Global warming amplifies extreme day-to-day temperature swings, study shows
A new study has revealed that rapid, large-scale day-to-day temperature fluctuations have intensified amid global warming, representing a distinct climate hazard with impacts on human health. This growing volatility creates a weather pattern akin to a "climate roller coaster," exposing populations to more frequent and sharp shifts between temperature extremes.

Warming triggers unprecedented carbon loss from tropical soils, study finds
Climate warming could cause much greater soil carbon losses in the tropics than previously predicted, with potentially dire consequences for the global climate, according to a new study published in Nature Communications. Tropical forests store around a third of the world’s soil carbon and exchange more CO2 with the atmosphere than any other land biome. […]

COP30 Climate Summit Ends With Dire Warnings and Scant Plans for Action
The final agreement, with no direct mention of the fossil fuels that are dangerously heating the planet, was a victory for oil-producing countries.

Burning 1000 tonnes of fossil carbon, or emitting 4000 tonnes of CO2, causes the premature death of a future person from effects of anthropogenic global warming.
It follows that for every hour that you fly, you typically steal from a future person:

New Zealand's seas warming faster than global average: Report
The seas around New Zealand are warming much faster than global averages, scientists said Wednesday in a new study warning how climate change could batter the island nation.

Cleaner air may be accelerating warming by making clouds less reflective
Earth is reflecting less sunlight, and absorbing more heat, than it did several decades ago. Global warming is advancing faster than climate models predicted, with observed temperatures exceeding projections in 2023 and 2024. These trends have scientists scrambling to understand why the atmosphere is letting more light in.

As this isn't a wet bulb measurement, the wind chill effect isn't shown. This is my bedroom BTW, and yes, the icy draught coming up from the cellar is strong enough to make it feel colder than that.

Signature of climate change: Nearly half of harmful wildfire smoke exposure linked to human-caused warming
Across the western U.S., wildfires and the dangerous smoke that results have increased in frequency and intensity since the 1990s—that much is clear. Surprisingly less clear are the exact reasons why: While greenhouse gas-related global warming is often cited as a culprit, to what extent can this claim be quantified?

Climate realist Bill McKibben sees a turning point: despite the damage from global warming, renewable energy is surging worldwide.
China now exports more green tech than fossil fuels. Australia is racing ahead with solar and wind. The shift from extraction to clean energy is happening faster than many realize.
2026 could mark the year renewables truly dominate.
