Scientists have a dire new warning about the state of the planet
As 2025 winds down, climate scientists aren’t tallying resolutions — they’re tallying red flags. A new global report warns that Earth’s “vital signs” are flashing danger, with record heat, vanishing ice, dying coral, and forests burning at unprecedented rates. Twenty-two of 34[...]
‘Impossible’ Life Found Beneath Arctic Ice Could Alter Climate Models
Beneath the Arctic’s frozen surface, scientists have found life rewriting the boundaries of possibility. Tiny microbes thriving under the sea ice can fix nitrogen — a process once thought limited to warmer waters. The finding reshapes how we understand the Arctic’s influence[...]
At Land’s Edge – Tracking Coastal Ecosystem with Landsat
For more than 50 years, satellites in the NASA–USGS Landsat program have been quietly documenting the fragile edge where land meets sea. Their long view has revealed both decline and resilience: mangroves in Florida struggling to recover after hurricanes, eelgrass meadows in[...]

The oceans just hit an ominous milestone
For 12,000 years, Earth’s steady climate has been the backdrop for human civilization. Now, scientists warn that balance is unraveling. A new report finds ocean acidification has joined the list of planetary “boundaries” humanity has crossed, signaling we’ve pushed Earth’s systems into[...]
Eight Swedish glaciers melted away: ‘It’s a very clear sign’
In Sweden’s far north, scientists are watching history vanish in real time. High-resolution satellite images confirm that eight glaciers have disappeared in just over a year, their melt signaling a shift that cannot be undone. While these were small ice masses, their[...]

Alaska just hit a climate milestone — its first-ever heat advisory
In Fairbanks, Alaska—where summer highs usually hover in the low 70s—the forecast now comes with a first: an official heat advisory. Temperatures near 90 degrees may not rattle the Lower 48, but in a region built to trap warmth, not shed it,[...]
Norway is all in on electric cars. What can the U.S. learn?
Norway has quietly achieved what many countries only imagine: almost 90% of new cars sold last year were fully electric. Backed by decades of stable policy and generous incentives, even snowy northern towns have embraced EVs. The result is a nation transformed[...]

A Chicago Editorial the Plays in North Dakota: That hazy sky out there isn’t harmless
It felt like summer finally arrived in Chicago—sunshine, patios, lakefront strolls. But look a little closer, and something’s off. The haze isn’t just humidity; it’s smoke, drifting down from wildfires still burning across Canada. This week, Chicago briefly claimed the worst air[...]
Trump to axe power plant emission rules, a potential boon for Wyoming coal
The debate over coal-fired power isn’t just back—it’s front and center. The Trump administration’s EPA is moving to repeal federal rules that limited greenhouse gas and toxic emissions from power plants, undoing key Biden-era climate policies. Supporters, especially in coal-heavy Wyoming, call[...]
Emperor Penguins Disappearing Faster Than Worst Estimates, Study Finds
If the canary warned coal miners of unseen danger, the emperor penguin may be sounding a similar alarm for the planet. New satellite data shows their populations have dropped 22% in just 15 years—twice as bad as previous estimates. With no industry[...]
Mayors are making climate action personal. It’s working.
When Justin Bibb needed fresh air during the pandemic, Cleveland’s green spaces gave him room to breathe—literally and politically. Now, as mayor, he’s working to make sure every resident is within a 10-minute walk of that same relief. Across the U.S., cities[...]

Cities lose “critical guidance” from climate report: former NOAA official
Cities across the country may soon lose one of their most important tools for climate planning. The Trump administration has dismissed hundreds of scientists working on the next National Climate Assessment, halting a congressionally mandated report relied on by planners, engineers, and[...]
