Events for “warming”

Keeping cool saves thousands of lives yearly, but at a cost of worsening global warming, experts say

Cooling from air conditioning saves lives—more than 5,000 a year in the United States alone—but it also heats up the planet and taxes our electrical grid, scientists say.

Given enough time, coral reefs can recover from cyclones, bleaching and other destructive events.

Low oxygen could limit insects' uphill escape from climate warming

Reduced oxygen levels and air pressure at higher elevations may limit insects' ability to move upslope to escape a warming climate, with potential consequences for the essential services they provide, like pollination, according to a new review in the journal, Functional Ecology.

Volcanic eruptions and warming climate disrupt long-standing link between Indian and Pacific oceans

A new study that combines paleoclimate data and climate models suggests that large volcanic eruptions can disrupt the relationship between atmospheric circulation patterns over the tropical Indian and Pacific oceans. In addition, human-caused greenhouse gas emissions are now driv

Glacier collapse caused Nepal’s deadly flash flood — a sign of things to come?

Nature, Published online: 27 August 2026; doi:10.1038/d41586-026-02716-w Global warming is making high-altitude regions unstable, and could trigger more frequent landslides and floods.

Study reveals inter-city collaboration on emission reduction boosts sustainability performance

With Hong Kong recently recording record-breaking high temperatures, extreme weather has once again raised public awareness of global warming and emission-reduction measures.

Heat-tolerant corals may be more vulnerable to disease

Corals that partner with heat-tolerant algae may be better equipped to survive warming oceans—but that resilience comes with an unexpected trade-off, according to a new study from Boston University published in Science Advances.

Five ways Europe's heat-wave summer is hot, hot, hot

Temperatures have been off the charts this year in Europe, the continent warming faster than any other continent. Here are five reasons why Europe's summer of 2026 will go down in the history of climate change:

How will European politicians react to a summer of extreme heat?

Europe this summer has had to face record breaking temperatures, which caused droughts, deaths, and caused devastating wildfires. While the latest heat dome has dissipated, the damage remains – the continent continues to be the fastest warming globally. Will this summer serve as

The Bhotekoshi flood | A Himalayan tragedy

Scientists investigate how a high-altitude rock-and-ice avalanche may have triggered one of Nepal’s most devastating floods; while experts have not directly attributed this event to climate change, they note that rising temperatures are warming the Himalayas and accelerating glac

Japan’s ‘2050 Weather Forecast’ highlights extreme heat in the future

As extreme heat becomes an increasingly visible reality across Japan, meteorologists, scientists, businesses and professional footballers are joining forces to encourage stronger climate action and raise awareness of the risks posed by global warming.

Galápagos corals show El Niño events are more extreme now than in past 1,000 years – here’s how my team made the discovery

Scientists went to the heart of the El Niño pattern to learn from living and fossil corals. The results show El Niño’s intensifying coincides with global warming.

Glacier collapse behind Nepal flood highlights region’s climate risk

Similar events are becoming more frequent as global warming accelerates the ongoing thaw in the Himalayas.

Glacier collapse and ice avalanche likely fueled deadly Nepal flash flood

Researchers have long sounded alarm bells on the vulnerability of the so-called Third Pole to warming temperatures, and about the rising potential for disasters.
