Ozone pollution is a global environmental concern that not only threatens human health and crop production, but also worsens global warming. While the formation of ozone is often attributed to anthropogenic pollutants, soil emissions are revealed to be another important source. The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) researchers have examined…

The findings, published today in the journal, Science, are striking. Even if global temperatures were stabilised at today's level of 1.2°C, an estimated 39 per cent of global glacier mass would still be lost compared to 2020 levels -- contributing over 10 centimetres to global sea-level rise. In the new…

There is a 70% chance that the 2025-2029 period will be more than 1.5C hotter than pre-industrial times, World Meteorological Organization (WMO) forecasters predicted in a report on Wednesday. The 1.5C threshold is symbolically important, as all governments agreed in the 2015 Paris climate agreement to try to limit global…

ClimaMeter put out a rapid attribution study overnight on Thursday that found the NSW floods, especially around Taree, were significantly worsened by human-driven climate change.…

Sea level rise will force millions of people to flee coastal regions, even at just 1.5 degrees Celsius of global heating, according to a new study. The authors of the study warn that even current warming levels could lead to multiple feet of sea level rise by the end of…
