Study finds deforestation accounts for major Amazon rainfall decline

Forest loss, along with climate change, is changing the resilience of the Amazon Rainforest. By disrupting the movement of moisture through the atmosphere, deforestation is reducing rainfall and extending the dry season, especially in the southern Amazon Basin. But according to recent research, the impacts of large-scale deforestation could be much bigger than climate models […]

Climate-Fueled Heat Waves Are Creating a Water Crisis in the Southwest

Scientists are linking deadly heat waves, like the record-breaking heat dome, to pollution from fossil fuel companies.

Climate-Fueled Heat Waves Are Creating a Water Crisis in the Southwest – The USA Potato

The Earth’s #climate is more out of balance than at any time in observed history, as greenhouse gas concentrations drive continued warming of the #atmosphere and #ocean and melting of ice.

Extreme events around the world, including intense #heat, heavy #rainfall and tropical #cyclones, cause disruption and devastation and highlight the vulnerability of our inter-connected economies and societies.

The ocean continues to warm and absorb carbon dioxide. It has been absorbing the equivalent of about eighteen times the annual human energy use each year for the past two decades.

Annual sea ice extent in the Arctic was at or near a record low, Antarctic sea ice extent was the third lowest on record, and glacier melt continued unabated.

These rapid and large-scale changes have occurred within a few decades but will have harmful repercussions for hundreds – and potentially thousands – of years.

Earth’s climate swings increasingly out of balance

Geneva, Switzerland (WMO) – The Earth’s climate is more out of balance than at any time in observed history, as greenhouse gas concentrations drive continued warming of the atmosphere and ocean and melting of ice, according to the World Meteorological Organization (WMO). These rapid and large-scale changes have occurred within a few decades but will have harmful repercussions for hundreds – and potentially thousands – of years.

State of the Global Climate 2025

#WMO’s State of the Global #Climate report 2025 confirms that 2015-2025 are the hottest 11-years on record, and that 2025 was the second or third hottest year on record, at about 1.43 °C above the 1850-1900 average. Extreme events around the world, including intense #heat, heavy #rainfall and tropical #cyclones, caused disruption and devastation and highlighted the vulnerability of our inter-connected economies and societies. The ocean continues to warm and absorb #CarbonDioxide. It has been absorbing the equivalent of about eighteen times the annual human energy use each year for the past two decades. Annual sea ice extent in the #Arctic was at or near a record low, #Antarctic sea ice extent was the third lowest on record, and glacier melt continued unabated, according to the report. For the first time, the report includes the Earth’s energy imbalance as one of the key climate indicators.
