Antarctica is offering 30 to 50 years' worth of warning on sea level rise, models suggest

Antarctica May Offer Decades of Sea-Level Warning, Study Finds

A Nature study finds Antarctic ice loss may remain predictable until mid-century.
Researchers say that could give governments 30 to 50 years of warning for coastal planning.
The work does not rule out severe long-term sea-level rise under high-emissions scenarios.

Damaged boreal peatlands may triple methane emissions, reshaping climate risk

Damaged boreal peatlands may be a bigger methane threat than expected

Researchers found methane emissions were much higher on disturbed seismic lines than in nearby undisturbed peatlands.
The study challenges the belief that these exploration corridors would recover naturally.
The findings could affect restoration policy and climate accounting across boreal regions.

A view from above of a large glacier in the ocean

Antarctica’s Thwaites Glacier nears a new break point

Researchers say Thwaites Glacier's eastern ice shelf is very likely to break up in 2026.
The shelf acts as a buttress, slowing the flow of land ice from one of Antarctica's most vulnerable glaciers.
A full collapse of Thwaites would take much longer, but loss of the shelf could accelerate the glacier's decline.

Get ready for hotter, muggier, stormier summers

MIT Study Links Sticky Summer Heat and Violent Storms to Persistent Atmospheric Inversions

MIT researchers say inversions trap both heat and moisture near the surface, intensifying humid heat waves.
The longer an inversion persists, the more energy can build before intense storms and heavy rain break it.
The pattern is becoming more common in parts of the United States as the climate warms.

Fifty years of measuring the world’s cleanest air still matters because baseline data is climate infrastructure

Australia’s Cape Grim station has monitored baseline air conditions for 50 years.
The site supports global tracking of human-driven atmospheric change.
Its anniversary underscores the value of long-term climate measurement infrastructure.

Warming Coastal Waters Drive Up to 64% of Humid Heat Wave Increase

Rising coastal sea surface temperatures drive 50–64% of the global increase in large-scale humid heat waves since 1982
Indian Ocean warming most strongly predicts humid heat risk in South Asia and the Middle East
Ocean temperatures could become early warning indicators for widespread heat emergencies spanning multiple countries
