The Breakdown of Natural Systems Could Intensify Warming by 30 Percent (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As the planet heats up, tundras are thawing, wetlands are fermenting, and forests are succumbing to larger and more frequent wildfires. The breakdown of these natural systems is unleashing huge volumes of emissions, further intensifying warming from the burning of fossil fuels. According to new research, such feedback loops could amplify human-driven warming by 20 to 30 percent. Even if humans reach net zero emissions later this century, feedbacks would add another 0.2 degrees C of warming, acco
Satellite Images of Penguin Droppings Reveal Impact of Antarctic Warming (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Penguin colonies are so large that their masses of excrement can be seen from space, offering scientists a useful means of studying the Antarctic birds. An analysis of 30 years of satellite images of penguin guano shows how the birds’ diets are shifting in response to warming. Penguin droppings not only amass in huge volumes, but also stand out clearly against the white snow blanketing most of Antarctica. In 2024, scientists discovered four new colonies of emperor penguins by scanning satellite
A Surge of Marine Heat Waves Threatens to Scramble Ocean Life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The common octopus is a warm water species that usually lives in the temperate waters of the Mediterranean. But last year, octopus larvae hitchhiked across the English Channel attached to plankton, resulting in an octopus bloom off England’s coast. This year, the bloom is the largest it’s been in 75 years. Normally, octopus larvae that drift into cold waters die. But this year’s bloom, experts say, is the result of an unusually intense marine heat wave off of Devon and Cornwall, which raised wat
Suburban Sprawl Puts Western Homes at Risk from Wildfires (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This article was originally published by Grist and is reproduced here as part of the Climate Desk collaboration. Recent fires in Spokane, Washington, and Reno, Nevada, illustrate the risks from suburban sprawl, experts say. In both cities, encroaching flames burned homes built at the edge of wilderness. Somersett, a short drive from downtown Reno, Nevada, is a peaceful place where homes with sweeping, high-desert views line cul-de-sacs and roads meander through shrubland, trailheads, and golf co
As Death Toll From Nepal Flood Rises, Officials Call to Tackle Warming (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Five days after a calamitous flood washed through Rasuwa, Nepal, the death toll continues to climb. Authorities said Monday that 903 people have been confirmed dead, while another 4,247 are missing, as the country reels from a disaster that experts say may be linked to the melting of glacial ice. Officials believe the collapse of a glacier on Langtang Lirung peak sent an avalanche of ice and rock careening into a valley below, where it blocked the flow of the Trishuli River. When the rock barrie
