How rising temperatures contribute to higher sugar consumption and obesity risk
The impact of climate change on our health and environment is vast, but less well-researched is the link between rising temperatures and changes in our eating habits. New research suggests that (viac…)
Carbon Storage in Earth's Ecosystems
Every year, our planet's forests absorb approximately 15.6 billion tons of carbon dioxide (CO2)To put that into perspective, this amount is equivalent to about three times the annual CO2 emissions of the United States, or about 40 % of global CO2 emissions. (viac…)
Destructive Illusions: Why Geoengineering in the Polar Regions Is a Dangerous Path to Ecological Disaster
The polar regions, once remote and untouched, are on the front lines of the climate crisis, facing unprecedented warming with catastrophic global consequences. The Arctic is warming nearly four times faster than the global average, while Antarctica is experiencing (viac…)
Methane: The Invisible Threat and Climate Emergency Brake
Methane is a potent greenhouse gas that is 80 times more efficient than CO2 over a 20-year period. Urgent action to reduce methane emissions is essential as "emergency brake" global warming. Nevertheless, voices and organizations are emerging that spread (viac…)
Stratospheric warming of the Southern Hemisphere and its potential global impact
The Southern Hemisphere, currently in winter, will soon witness the development of significant stratospheric warming. Forecasts show strong temperature and pressure waves in the stratosphere over the South Pole. These events are in the South (viac…)
Alarming findings: 60% of the world's land mass exceeds safe ecological limits
Failure of natural carbon sinks: A worrying trend for the fight against climate change
Terrestrial ecosystems are a key part of climate change mitigation strategies, as they absorb approximately one-third of anthropogenically emitted carbon. The capacity of terrestrial systems to continue to absorb anthropogenic CO2 (viac…)
August 2025 – Third warmest on record and heat wave in southwestern Europe
The latest Climate Bulletin, published by the Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S), implemented by the European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) on behalf of the European Commission, brings alarming (viac…)
Underestimating the societal consensus on climate change
Slovakia and greenhouse gas emissions: Overview from the EDGAR 2025 database
The "GHG EMISSIONS OF ALL WORLD COUNTRIES – 2025 Report", published by the European Commission in cooperation with the International Energy Agency (IEA), provides an independent quantitative overview of global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and includes detailed (viac…)
Global greenhouse gas emissions 2025: A comprehensive overview from the JRC/IEA report
The European Commission, in cooperation with the International Energy Agency (IEA), has published the report "GHG EMISSIONS OF ALL WORLD COUNTRIES – 2025 Report". This publication, jointly prepared by experts such as M. (viac…)
A critical look at the impact of major carbon pollutants on climate change
A previous article focused on the systematic attribution of heatwaves to human-caused climate change. Expanding on this discussion, a new study, “Systematic attribution of heatwaves to the emissions of carbon majors,” (viac…)
Disturbing silence: Thawing permafrost is turning Arctic rivers into toxic streams
The Salmon River, once a symbol of pristine wilderness and the subject of admiration in John McPhee's classic novel, has changed dramatically. Its once crystal-clear waters, where you could see 15 feet down, turned orange in 2019 and have since (viac…)
Transformation of forest microclimates due to climate change and crustacean disasters
Global warming and more frequent droughts have intensified the scourge of the spruce bark beetle (Ips typographus) in Europe. Forests are key to mitigating extreme temperatures and macroclimatic warming, thereby supporting biodiversity and resilience (viac…)
Global emissions have reached a record high,
According to the latest data from the European Commission's Emissions Database for Global Atmospheric Research (EDGAR), human activities around the world released record amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere in 2024. 53.2 gigatons (Gt) of CO2 equivalent (CO2eq), excluding emissions from the change (viac…)
A Decade of Climate Monitoring: The Story of the C3S Climate Bulletin
C3S Climate Bulletin is a key climate monitoring product, implemented The European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts (ECMWF) as part of the program Copernicus of the European Union, which serves as Europe's eyes on Earth. Its (viac…)
Methane: A potent greenhouse gas and an urgent global challenge
Methane (CH4) is second largest contributor to climate change, responsible for about 30 % of global warming. Although most attention is focused on CO2, methane has a much shorter lifetime in the atmosphere. Nevertheless, its (viac…)
Climate change and its impact on the future of skills in vocational education
Climate change is one of the most significant global challenges that will reshape societies and labor markets around the world. Together with technological change, demographic pressures, and geopolitical instability, it places a greater demand on the expertise of (viac…)
