The Deep Learning Earth System Model (DL ESy M) represents a breakthrough approach in Earth system modeling that aims to address key challenges associated with computationally intensive traditional models. (more…)

Afforestation, which includes afforestation (planting trees in areas without recent forest cover) and reforestation (replanting trees in areas where they have been recently cleared), has been proposed as natural method of reducing CO2 in the atmosphereNew (more…)

Science journalist Peter Brannen, in his latest book "The story of CO2 is the story of everything" claims that Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the most important and yet most misunderstood molecule on Earth.While mainstream narratives portray CO2 as the “evil supervillain” associated with the modern climate crisis (more…)

Marine sediments represent the largest reservoir of organic carbon on Earth. For a long time, it was believed that the organic matter in these deep sediments was “refractory” and stable, meaning it was resistant to biological decomposition and contributed to long-term sequestration. (more…)

Climate projections that predicted future climate trends are now being put to the ultimate test: comparison with observed data. Three decades of satellite measurements of global sea level change are now available (more…)

Ozone (O3) is an optically active gas that plays a key role in the Earth's atmosphere. It absorbs and emits long-wave (LW) infrared radiation and absorbs short-wave (SW) solar radiation in the ultraviolet and visible spectrum. Although 90% of ozone is (more…)

In response to the increasing frequency and intensity of heat waves due to climate change, Copernicus Climate Change Service (C3S) and ECMWF (European Centre for Medium-Range Weather Forecasts) have developed an innovative application called Thermal Trace. (more…)

New breakthrough study by Ganzenmüller et al., published in August 2025 in the journal One Earth, reveals that human activity has led to depletion of global terrestrial carbon stocks by significant 24 %, which represents a deficit of 344 gigatons (more…)

The world is moving in the wrong direction and fast when it comes to climate and nature issues. Greenhouse gas emissions are rising, the planet is warming, extreme weather events are becoming more frequent, and biodiversity loss is continuing at a rapid pace. These rapid (more…)

Human activities have significantly impacted Earth's ecosystems over tens of thousands of years, leading to a massive decline in carbon stocks in soil and vegetation. New research from Ganzenmüller and colleagues reveals that humans have depleted global terrestrial carbon stocks. (more…)

A special supplement to the American Meteorological Society Bulletin, "The State of the Climate in 2024," provides a detailed update on global climate indicators, major weather events, and more. (more…)

In a time of increasing climate challenges and ongoing human interaction with nature, forestry is struggling to find a balance between protecting ecosystems and meeting societal needs. One of the (more…)

The Greenland Ice Sheet (GrIS) has been losing mass since the mid-1990s, with its contribution to sea level rise accelerating since the early 21st century. This mass loss is attributed to two main factors: (more…)

In 2024, the alternation of El Niño and La Niña phenomena had significant impact on global climate conditions. Strong El Niño conditions prevailed at the beginning of 2024, which turned into neutral conditions by the boreal spring and by the end (more…)

The year 2024 has become a chilling testament to Europe's intensifying climate change, bringing increasingly extreme and devastating anomalies. The region as a whole has experienced the warmest year in recorded history, with widespread and often fatal impacts affecting (more…)

In 2024, there were recorded worldwide many significant climatic anomalies, making this year a record for several key climate indicators. The State of the Climate in 2024 report documents in detail the state and evolution of the climate system on land, in the oceans (more…)

Geomagnetic storms are large-scale phenomena that significantly alter the Earth's upper atmosphere - the ionosphere and thermosphere. These changes can have serious impacts on technological systems, including GPS positioning and (more…)

Bird migration is no longer just a scientific curiosity, but also a commonly observed manifestation of climate change. In recent decades, flocks of migratory birds have been disappearing from our skies earlier than usual. Studies confirm (more…)

Plastics have become an integral part of the modern economy, but their widespread production and consumption have significant environmental consequences, particularly in terms of greenhouse gas emissions. Recent report elaborated (more…)
