Oil tankers unload across the road from the conference hall where 60 nations are planning the end of fossil fuels. The world's three biggest emitters didn't show up.
More than 4,500 people are suing one of Britain's biggest chicken producers and a water company over the ruin of three rivers along the Welsh-English border. It is the largest environmental pollution claim in UK legal history.
Otsuchi lost nearly a tenth of its population in the 2011 tsunami. Now wildfires are threatening what remained — and two of Japan's three largest blazes on record have struck the same prefecture in just thirteen months.
Venice's €6 billion flood barrier system was activated 30 times in the first two months of 2026. A comprehensive new analysis finds no strategy — at any price — can preserve the city as it exists today.
Researchers have built a model that predicts El Niño 15 months ahead. Its first major forecast: a potentially 'super' event building in the Pacific, with 2026 tracking as the second-warmest year on record.
Sloths taken from Guyana and Peru died of cold stun in an Orlando warehouse with no power or running water. Florida issued no fines. The attraction plans to open next month.
Under current emissions trends, 36 percent of land animal habitats face multiple types of climate-driven disasters simultaneously by 2085. The wildfire threat alone is bigger than drought — and nobody had modeled it for wildlife before.
Forty percent of US coal-plant closures scheduled by 2025 never happened. The datacenter boom is the reason — and at this rate, coal won't fully retire until 2065.
Eight weeks of war have done what a decade of climate summits could not. Green hydrogen just became economically viable — and Asia is ready to move.
Nearly 50 homes are gone and evacuations are still underway as wildfires burn across Georgia and Florida — weeks before the Southeast's typical fire season peaks.
A one-in-four chance of a super El Niño. A war that has closed the world's fertilizer chokepoint. Asia's planting season is underway, and the math is getting worse.
A £1 million government programme could see golden eagle chicks released in Northumberland as early as next summer — if farmers and landowners agree on a site.
Solar panels contributed more to global energy supply growth in 2025 than coal, gas, or oil — the first time a renewable has held that position. Natural gas came a distant second.
Wellington recorded 77mm of rain in under an hour — its heaviest rainfall on record — triggering flash floods, landslides, evacuations, and a search for a missing man in the suburb of Karori.
Twenty years of direct ocean measurements from four deep-sea sensors confirm the Atlantic current system that moderates European winters is fading — and the worst-case climate models appear to be the accurate ones.
The US just posted its driest March since the Dust Bowl. With El Nino looming, a failed American harvest could send global grain prices spiking.
Three mosquitoes found on wine-soaked ropes in a garden north of Reykjavík are the first ever recorded in Iceland — and a quiet signal that Arctic warming has crossed a new threshold.
Emperor penguins lost 20,000 adults in under a decade. Antarctic fur seals have halved in a generation. Both are now Endangered — the same IUCN category as giant pandas and Bengal tigers.
A Russian drone punched through Chernobyl's €1.5 billion containment dome last year. The IAEA confirms it no longer blocks radiation — and repairs could take four years in an active war zone.
Colombia spent 12 years trying to sterilize them. Deporting them would cost $3.5 million. Now up to 80 of Pablo Escobar's feral hippos will be shot instead.
