A detailed open-source 3D model is documenting one of the world’s last tropical glaciers in Indonesia as scientists warn the remaining ice may vanish by 2030.

A glacier region long seen as an exception to global ice loss recorded an extraordinary melt season in 2025, raising concern that extreme heat is overwhelming one of Asia’s last relatively stable ice reserves.

A new modeling study suggests climate change could push chikungunya risk into temperate regions, with northeastern North America and central Europe among the areas highlighted.

A study highlighted by Live Science suggests warming is advancing far faster than rice can evolve, raising risks for a crop relied on by more than a billion people.

A new study finds that centuries-old whaler burials at Likneset in Svalbard are degrading as permafrost thaws, exposing how climate change is eroding archaeological sites in the Arctic.

New research summarized by Live Science argues that climate change is pushing rice-growing regions into heat conditions outside the crop’s long historical experience, raising the risk of disruption for a staple food that

A commentary in CMAJ says warming temperatures and ecological change are increasing the risk of mosquito- and tick-borne illness in Canada, with implications for diagnosis, surveillance, and public health readiness.

Researchers studying Arctic and boreal soils say recent wildfires are not just burning fresh vegetation but also igniting organic carbon stored for hundreds to thousands of years.

A new Nature study suggests that overlapping extreme weather events such as heat, floods and drought are becoming more common as cumulative CO2 emissions rise, with the rarest combinations escalating fastest.

New modeling in Argentina suggests climate change could shift the distribution of virus-carrying rodents, exposing more people to hantavirus spillover risk and potentially raising the odds of outbreaks.

A new attribution study says the Indian Ocean Dipole helped explain the extraordinary global warmth of 2023 and 2024, accounting for much of the spike that exceeded expectations from long-term warming alone.

In a new interview, climate scientist Andy Reisinger argues that the drive toward renewables is increasingly rooted in national self-interest as much as emissions policy. He also warns that once warming peaks, the planet

A Norwegian-German expedition is drilling into Arctic seabed sediments to learn whether the North Pole was ice-free during past warm periods, a question with direct bearing on climate projections.

A new study argues the Atlantic Meridional Overturning Circulation could weaken by half by 2100 and may be nearer to collapse than previously thought, but researchers cited in coverage say the results should not be read

Italian researchers modeling air-to-water heat pumps in Alpine climates found that rising temperatures can modestly reduce defrost losses, but frequent start-up cycling remains a stubborn efficiency penalty.

Using distributed acoustic sensing on a telecom cable in the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, researchers found river-driven warming may speed permafrost thaw progression by about 15% compared with conventional models.

A new report on soybean losses tied to slug pressure highlights how unpredictable seasonal shifts are changing what agricultural resilience has to mean.

Greek officials are taking a closer look at how wildfires, extreme heat, and rising water levels could threaten major archaeological sites, reframing cultural preservation as a climate resilience challenge

The IUCN has declared emperor penguins endangered, linking the status change to climate change and mounting extinction risk in Antarctica.

As regional conflict escalates, desalination plants that supply drinking water across much of the Middle East are emerging as critical and vulnerable infrastructure under pressure from both attacks and climate change.
