But projects offering grid-scale battery storage won contracts to provide hundreds of megawatts of capacity in Ontario, outcompeting new gas generation while setting records for low prices. All the winning proposals were led by First Nations equity partners, who will now own at least 50 per cent of the projects and whose investment and effort got them across the finish line

Asia continues to set the pace of the global energy transition, accounting for 74.2% of global new renewable capacity additions in 2025 and increasing installed renewable capacity by 513.3 GW to 2,891 GW, or 56.1% of global renewable capacity, according to the Renewable Energy Market Review 2026 published by Willi

Once that material sinks, it becomes part of the river bottom. Layer by layer, the mud traps carbon from leaves, roots, dead wood, and tiny organisms

The surprise was not only the mud. More than half of the retained carbon was linked to water moving below the surface, where a stable form of carbon carried in water was held in underground pathways

Over a recent 25-year stretch, the warmest temperate areas climbed by roughly 6 degrees Fahrenheit. The fastest-warming tropical areas rose about half that.

The gap is enough to push populations past what they can survive.

Across the far north, warming has run well ahead of the global average. Plants and animals that never needed much heat tolerance are now being forced to find some

“Super El Niño” Is Terrible News for Farmers Around the World

Climate alarm!
This is NOT within normal bounds for the Netherlands: the second half of June is now forecasted to become the warmest in 126 years, beating June 2023 by a margin of over 3°C!

24-hour average of 23.4°C, in this forecast.

Evidence for a very strong El Niño weather pattern grows, perhaps the strongest in 140 years, and its consequences will be exacerbated by climate change.

Fortunately, because it builds slowly, there's time to prepare for the effects of the event, but will governments do so?
