There is a simplistic story about the greenhouse effect: a blanket of carbon dioxide (CO2) envelops the planet, letting in sunlight but trapping its heat, causing the Earth to warm. But this story obscures a fascinating quantum reality. Carbon Dioxide (more…)

Digitalization is often presented as a tool for progress, but its uncontrolled expansion also has a dark side. The growing demand for data centers, fueled in particular by the popularity of artificial intelligence (AI), risks undermining (more…)

In the 1960s, Soviet climatologist and mathematician Mikhail Budyko set out to explore the potential future of a planet threatened by nuclear apocalypse. His investigation was motivated by a pressing question: (more…)

Almost 170 years ago, scientist Eunice Foote discovered a fundamental truth about the gases that surround us. In her home laboratory in New York City, she filled one glass cylinder with carbon dioxide and the other with regular oxygen. (more…)

The economy and the financial system have a complex and two-way relationship with nature. They are not only dependent on it, but also influence it and are influenced by it, which creates risks associated with nature. These risks are caused by the degradation of nature, including (more…)

Tropical forests are a key regulator of the global carbon cycle, exchanging more carbon dioxide (CO2) with the atmosphere than any other terrestrial biome. Climate models predict unprecedented (more…)

A message “From Cradle to Grave: The Fossil Fuel Health Tax and the Just Transition Imperative” by the Global Climate and Health Alliance (GCHA) presents a comprehensive global overview (more…)

Publication entitled "From Knowledge to Solutions: Science, Technology and Innovation in Support of the UN SDGs" addresses the key role of science, technology and innovation (STI) in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (more…)

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 (more…)

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. (more…)

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 (more…)

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 (more…)

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 (more…)

New study warns that the vast majority of the world's landmasses have already exceeded the "safe ecological limits" of the biosphere, posing significant risks to the stability of natural systems and life on Earth. This situation requires an immediate and coordinated global response. (more…)

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 (more…)

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 (more…)

New research led by Sandra J. Geiger and a large team (2025) provides important insights into the phenomenon of pluralistic ignorance in the context of climate change and examines the effectiveness of intervention messages based on public consensus. The study, which (more…)

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 (more…)

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. (more…)

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,” (more…)
