🛫 New Research Campaign in the Arctic: Clouds over Sea Ice in Focus 🌫️
The international measurement campaign COMPEX (Clouds over complex environment) is investigating how clouds and sea ice interact – and how these interactions contribute to the rapid warming of the Arctic. Scientists from the #UniCologne, @unileipzig, and the @[email protected] are working together on this key climate research project.

An analysis by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) shows a statistically significant acceleration in global warming since 2015. The adjusted warming rate is around 0.35°C per decade, which is significantly higher than before. Natural influences such as El Niño and volcanoes have been factored out. Several global temperature data sets confirm the trend.

06.03.2026 - Global warming has accelerated since 2015, according to a new study by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK). After accounting for known natural influences on global temperature, the research team detected a statistically significant acceleration of the warming trend for the first time. Over the past ten years, the estimated warming rate has been around 0.35°C per decade, depending on the dataset, compared with just under 0.2°C per decade on average from 1970 to 2015. This recent rate is higher than in any previous decade since the beginning of instrumental records in 1880.
1) Russia's invasion of Ukraine sent shockwaves through the Arctic. The Arctic Council, the region's key intergovernmental forum, suspended all activities in 2022. Seven Western member states later resumed limited projects without Russia, but critical climate research and Indigenous rights work remain stalled. The future of Arctic multilateral cooperation is deeply uncertain.

Occurred to me this may've been written by ai (it's pretty ordinary) but the detail is ok
'While Australia has always had these disasters, our research reveals these new extremes are the result of dramatic climate-driven changes in the upper atmosphere'

"Continued global heating could trigger climate tipping points, leading to a cascade of further tipping points and feedback loops ... This would lock the world into a new and hellish “hothouse Earth” climate far worse than the 2-3C temperature rise the world is on track to reach. ... The assessment, which was published in the journal One Earth, synthesised recent scientific findings on climate feedback loops and 16 tipping elements." https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/feb/11/point-of-no-return-hothouse-earth-global-heating-climate-tipping-points
