A shocking new study says that sea ice in the Arctic could completely disappear through September each summer if average global temperatures increase by as little as 2 degrees Celsius and climate conditions continue to worsen. Ice recedes from June to September and then in September, it begins to grow againContinue Reading
According to the UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC), if carbon emissions are not reduced, three-quarters of the world’s population might face heat stress by 2100. The “heat dome” of 2021 killed about 1,000 people in the United States and Canada. It would have been “nearly impossible” without climateContinue Reading

UN’s Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) has declared “code red for humanity” meaning that we are staring down a future full of death, destruction, and climate horrors. That, unfortunately, is the main takeaway of a new report issued on Monday which has been prepared after meticulously poring over 14,000Continue Reading
New urban-specific research projections show that the average temperature within a city will rise well beyond the global average temperatures that climate initiatives tend to focus on. Since cities only account for about three percent of the planet’s surface area, they tend to be overlooked in the calculations, but notContinue Reading
The world is on course to sail past the recognized “safe” level of 2 degrees Celsius of warming to as much as 3 degrees Celsius, according to the latest Wood Mackenzie Energy Transition Outlook. The Paris Agreement aims to limit warming to “well below 2 degrees Celsius” and ideally toContinue Reading
Can the global heatwave condition be chalked up to climate change? The French government is on high alert. For the first time ever, the national weather service activated its highest level heat danger alert. Thousands of schools are closed, as nobody wants a repeat of 2003’s heat wave that killedContinue Reading
