From our collaborating partner “Living on Earth,” public radio’s environmental news magazine, an interview by host Steve Curwood with climate scientist Michael Mann. As the United Nations prepares to hold a climate summit in late September, it’s warning that current climate policies will lead to at least 1.8 degrees Celsius…

Climate attribution researchers say “there is absolutely no doubt” that decades of global warming set the stage for the deadly rock and glacier collapse on Langtang Lirung Mountain in Nepal. At least 1,300 people died in August when a cascade of semi-frozen sludge, boulders, trees and other debris roared through…

When Hunga Tonga-Hunga Ha'apai erupted beneath the South Pacific in January 2022, the explosion ranked among the most powerful volcanic events of the modern era. But researchers have now uncovered an unexpected consequence of that eruption: the enormous volcanic cloud appears to have helped destroy some of the methane pollution…

A new study suggests that the climate connection between the tropical Indian and Pacific oceans can be disrupted by major volcanic eruptions, while human-caused greenhouse gas emissions may now be driving an even more unusual breakdown in that relationship. Researchers at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) combined paleoclimate evidence…

As climate change worsens, a 2026 report by the U.N. shows that we are on track to soon pass the 1.5C threshold set by the Paris Agreement. (Image credit:  NASA/Scientific Visualization Studio) Global warming will soon cross a critical threshold, surpassing a dangerous limit set years ago, the United Nations…

In the Rocky Mountains, years of extreme heat and drought have baked the landscape, drying up streams that feed the Colorado River and desiccating pastures where cattle graze. The unrelenting dryness has brought hardship upon cattle ranchers, who say their livelihoods increasingly are under threat. As the U.S. Supreme Court…

Large patches of open water were visible just 37 miles (60 kilometers) from the North Pole on Aug. 29, a NASA satellite image shows. Although this doesn't necessarily mean that Arctic ice is worse off this year than the past few years, the image reveals how severely climate change is…

For decades, scientists have struggled to understand the potential link between global warming and El Niño — and whether human activity is making the already powerful climate phenomenon even more extreme and disruptive. Evidence of a connection has remained elusive, however, as El Niño is notoriously variable, making it difficult…

File Image From Dispatch Room The world is likely to cross the 1.5°C global warming threshold within the next few years, but temperatures can still be brought back down if governments rapidly cut emissions and strengthen climate action, the United Nations Environment Programme has warned. In a new report titled…
